You might want to do a google on "leasing a truck (any truck) from the carrier you are leased to...not a good idea....but to answer your question, I think and I am not for sure, but E-1 use to have plan that was setup with an "outside scource" to get driverss into highly overpriced sprinters....but i also think that is gone....

Bush truck leasing handles sprinters. They are not a carrier but from what I hear it is easy to qualify. You will most likely also overpay for the van but I have never personally spoke with them. You can google them.

You never want to lease a truck from a carrier
Bad Bad Idea

Just stating the obvious: aren't all Sprinters overpriced?

Not if you compare apples to apples
A diesel American van with a raised roof is gonna cost you about what a Sprinter costs, and correct me if I am wrong but the Sprinter is longer than the longest Chevy or Ford

Dakota, I am cheap! My $4500 van grossed $39K in the first 6 months of this year. That's a decent ROI. Why would I buy a $40,000 van to do this work?

Same reason we have 1000's of different car & truck models.
It's not one size fits all. What works for you may not work for someone else.
Sounds like your having a good year so far
If we banned the Sprinter that would mean more loads for the Straight trucks

Banning the Sprinter would not effect my operations at all. All my freight is 1-3 skids of standard size. I cannot be convinced Sprinters are reasonably priced for expediting applications. Just an opinion.
