Local Cargo Van Driving Jobs

If you are the owner-operator of a cargo van, the most difficult part of your job probably isn’t long drives or stop and go traffic. And, it probably isn’t even loading or unloading heavy cargo. The hardest part of your job is lining up local cargo van driving jobs to ensure your working hours are full and productive.

If you don’t have a full schedule of cargo van gigs, you will be forced to invest unpaid time in marketing and promoting your services to local businesses. And while building these relationships is important, it doesn’t help pay the bills today. Let’s face it, you’d rather be driving your cargo or sprinter van, working and earning, than selling your services.
