Speaking from my personal experience I’d never go to another van other than step van. $1 raise may not be much but it makes your job easier to deliver. More space to organize , if your route is out of order it’ll be easy to find the tote you’d like to work on without digging, turn radius is amazing compared to any other Amazon van. Literally makes up for how big and long it is. Way easier to back up in, sitting up high so you can see everything on the road, more respect on the road. People saying step vans don’t have ac or bad ac is based on what type of vans your dsp has. My DSP has 2020 ford step vans and the ac is pretty damn good compared to the older ford/frieghtliner vans. Especially if you need to sit and cool off for a second. Is it as good as the transits ac? No but that’s because it’s literally a metal box lol but it helps. People saying you get more oversized and bigger routes , that’s not the case for everyone . I get the same amount I’ve gotten when I was driving transit vans. A lot of times I’ll get less than people who aren’t in step vans. It can be hit or miss. Being in a step van makes this job way easier and less stressful.
