A former truck driver wants to use his older van (2012-2010 models) for paid loads but is confused about legal requirements (CDL, operating authority, logbook, DOT physical) and can't find companies that accept older vehicles, forcing him to consider finding loads independently.

Workarounds Described

• Considering finding loads independently (instead of using established companies)

Implied Software Gaps

• Load matching platform specifically for older van operators
• Compliance guidance tool for non-CDL van freight operations
