Last January my son-in-law was involved in a fatal truck accident. He was not drinking nor was he on drugs. It was in the afternoon and had nothing to do with speed. He had driven semis all his life and I was wondering if he will ever be able to drive again and if so how long will he have to...

Was wondering which is the best vehicle van vs Sprinter when it comes to bad driving conditions like rain, snow and ice. A relative of mine was mentioning that the Sprinter would be quite top heavy and a friend of mine said when he was driving for Tri State he really had no problems in the bad...

I live in lower Michigan which would be the better companies to apply too and would you recommend the sprinter?
