On jobs sites I've found combining owner operator along with the year of your van and then doing searches for every year before one by one is great for finding opportunities that your van qualifies for.

I like the idea of leasing something newer to reduce breakdown possibilities. And I don't have any capital to buy outright. Im sure there are specific stipulations, are you qble to add e track or do other mods? I'm in old town so I noticed the cap right away! Thanks!

I think he forgot one. Do your research to see if your in a busy market for cargo vans before you go out and purchase a cargo van & expensive insurance . Make sure you Can get loads or dedicated routes before you purchase a van & 1 million dollar insurance so you won't regret it. I've seen many people waste a lot of money not doing proper research. Just my opinion.
