You scared me. Thought there was something I needed to do and wasn't. I aspire to the longevity you have achieved with your Sprinter.

That's fantastic!! I kinda hate being off the road now. Mine's up to about 465,000 on that 4.8 and doesn't use a drop of oil. Oil pressure at 70 MPH still right at 40 psi.
And to think I'm considering getting rid of the van. I hate to see it parked so much when it's made about $235K in 22 months!! So much life left in it!!

My sprinter is nothing but a money pit.

Turned down a load from Auburn IN. To Toledo for a losing rate. Got dinged for a turn down... How come we can't ding dispatch for offering a insult rate?

Funny how that works...kind of lop sided....

also....How come most carriers don't advertise what the load bid failure rate is?....surely they keep track....
