What cargo vans haul
Expedited freight: urgent auto parts, medical supplies, electronics, trade-show items and small LTL shipments. Speed matters more than size, so vans often run hot loads directly with no stops.
What you need
- No CDL for a normal sprinter or cargo van
- For-hire interstate hauling: your own USDOT number and operating authority, or run under a carrier's authority
- Cargo and liability insurance
- Straps, blankets and a hand truck
Where van loads come from
- Expedite load boards and the van sections of DAT and Truckstop
- Expedite carriers that lease on van owners
- Courier and final-mile companies
How to earn more
Stay near big freight markets, answer fast, because the first van to call often wins the load, and avoid deadheading far for one load. Running two or three days out and back keeps miles paid.
