Box Trucks, Vans, and the STL Freight Boom Nobody’s Talking About
In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Mike Ernst, President of Expedite All and a 25-year freight industry veteran, to talk about one of the most slept-on opportunities in trucking: Small Truckload (STL). From cargo vans to box trucks and straight trucks, STL is on the rise—driven by tight delivery windows, high-value freight, and a shift away from one-size-fits-all shipping. Mike breaks down what STL really is, why it’s not just a local play, and how smart carriers can step in now and build consistency in a volatile market. If you’re running under CDL or thinking about diversifying your equipment—this episode is your blueprint.
