Cargo Van Delivery Info
Main Post:
Hi all,
I'm looking into the Cargo Van business. How would one see a dashboard of available routes someone can bid on, or a history of the bids that won, or does a tool like this even exist??? Anyone have an estimate on average payouts?
Based out of ATL, so hoping to get my ducks in a row, and do cargo van deliveries to Miami, Charlotte, etc.
Thanks for any help. I find websites, but because I just a spectator, I never get to see the bids.
Top Comment: Sylectus and DAT are where we post our loads. Keep in mind a lot of 3pls and companies won’t use you for your first 60-120 days after getting licensed to avoid risk. Most 300-700 mile runs pay around $1 a mile. Sometimes you can make more, but it’s usually easy for me to cover a load for $1 a mile plus $50 for dispatch/company fees. If you have a clean record, look into getting TSA certified to deliver to airports and such. More of a pain in the butt, but pays better and if you offer great service you can find people that offer you more consistent work for expedited loads. I’d also get a long bed van that holds three pallets and is at least 50” wide inside if possible. Allows you to take almost all sprinter/cargo van loads. It isn’t a way to make a ton of money, but you can make good money and spend your time driving if you like that. If you’re able to do basic maintenance yourself, it helps a ton
Can we please have a Cargo hold information panel!?

Its important for trading to see what you are shipping, but its a necessity for Mining! I need to know what kind of ore i have and how much of it, and since we are asking for stuff <_<, can we also have an option to "Jettison Cargo" like ED to throw out the cheap ore out and keep mining the more expensive ones?
Yes It would make profits go from 3k to 10k per round, but it will take an hour longer searching for more expensive ore. So it balance itself out (Profit/hour)
Top Comment: I think emptying an entire container would make sense but not dropping just the regular rocks or cheap ore. Determining what to specifically drop would be more of a task for an Orion since it has some refining.

ADDITIONAL INFO ON OP:
Not so long ago we documented a new type of mortar ammunition with the Ukrainian army - a M971 120mm cargo bomb, which houses 24 M87 dual-purpose AT/AP submunitions in the standard version.
The M971 was originally developed and manufactured in Israel 🇮🇱.
Going by the explosion pattern, bomblet dispersion pattern and quantity, we believe that we are seeing these effective (but controversial) munitions in use.
Given submunition failures and absence of self-destructing feature for the M87 they may have unwelcome long term effects.
Who supplied them to Ukraine? That's not clear. A very limited number of countries reported possession of such mortar bombs and we tend to believe what we see was exported from a country which previously purchased these bombs from Israel.

2023 Trailblazer Cargo Cover Info?

I'm trying to find a good video/photos of the Cargo Cover option for a '23 TB. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I saw it today at the dealership. It's a flimsy, lightweight mesh piece that you could hold in one hand. It fits in the grooves built into the car. A pet could not sit on it since it would not hold the weight of anything put on it. It's similar to the item you might use in the windshield and can fold up in the same manner. Certainly not worth $195.

Top Comment: Question for you: exactly how wide is the opening? I’m an artist and I need to haul large canvases often. I don’t mind if they are tilted diagonally (not flat on the floor) but I do need to know the exact width of the door opening. Would be so grateful if you could measure that. Helpful video!
