A cargo van opens up most local courier work: parts runs, final-mile parcel routes, pharmacy and lab routes, and on-demand app deliveries. Some expedite carriers also take cargo vans for longer runs.
Most cargo vans are rated under 10,001 lbs GVWR (check the sticker in the driver's door jamb). That's the federal line for needing a USDOT number on interstate work, so many companies don't ask you to have your own authority for a van. Some still ask for commercial auto insurance or a recent model year.

Often not. Most cargo vans are under 10,001 lbs GVWR, the federal threshold for a USDOT number in interstate commerce, and many local courier companies don't require your own authority for vans.

Some states have their own rules, and some companies ask for it anyway. Listings say when a company requires it.
It varies by company. Some accept personal auto insurance with a rideshare or delivery endorsement; others require commercial auto liability, sometimes with cargo coverage. Listings show the amounts the company states.
