    I was wondering if anyone knew of any companies that will put on a 24 or 26 ft box truck with sleeper on. Licensed to travel anywhere. Don't want to expedite either. We live in Ohio and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You could try Ubid
    Prices are low but its a chance of doing hot shot loads

    I can count on one hand all the straight trucks with sleepers I've seen that weren't expedite running over the road . Even van lines consolidate straight truck loads into larger trailer loads . One option might be a 2 Men and a Truck franchise but they stay pretty regional .

    My friend is actually the one that is wanting to work a box truck. We were exploring all our options. I, too have not seen many box trucks on the road without being expedite. I have to wonder if it would be profitable to grab LTL type loads and run those that we see on load boards. Thanks for reply's guys.

    That is because straight trucks are automaticlly considered "expedite".
