Specifically, one of his. I told him I wanted to sign on a van, and I was going to ask him if he'll sign on a cube van, rates, policies, etc. Didn't get a chance to ask any of it. He sent me info on the several Sprinters he has sitting idle. Told him I'm planning on getting a Transit, and he's...

Unbelievable. Only made at 10,360 GVWR. No other design.

Any comments on this battery system?

...to haul more pallets (not weight) in a small vehicle. This is a shot from a review of of class A van-life like RV. I don't know if the weight could be kept around 6500 curb weight. But imagine ordering one that's essentially gutted. Everything behind the driver compartment is gutted. You put...

That was the context in Shakespeare?

Coming down I-65 from Chicago, there are a few billboards of the sue-a-trucker variety, except they say "Delivery truck accident?" with a picture of a Sprinter. Lawyers ruin everything.

Conundrum, the product of driving for too many hours. You're a doctor, general practice. You're stranded on a desert island with somewhere between 10-100 people. You fortunately have for a med kit that Spicoli would call "a radical set of tools" and a bottle of whiskey. The med kit has...

I'm still playing with the options on the website. No way I'd select something over 10K.

I've had a few loads lately that meant I had to tear down my bed, move all my belongings up front, and sleep in the passenger seat. I'm trying to put an end to that while retaining capacity. So what about a Ford Transit cutaway like this, pallets 2-across, I'd guess a total of 4. I'd still...

With my current company, I haven't been west of Lenexa, KS. Well, technically, Fort Worth is a little farther west, but I mean west-west. Not sure if that's a company thing or if my owner has it set up that way. I'm thinking of going west when I get my own van on the road. I know things have...

Continuing talks with the guy I'm thinking of contracting to do the modifications. He says: Removing the front seat would void the warranty due to what it would do to the air bag and create liability for him so he won't do that. Anybody ever order a Transit with no front seat? Can it come from...

I'm resigned to getting a generator on a swing arm. I'm not crazy about the noise, the added weight, the maintenance, the possibility of theft, adding length to the van, etc. but maybe that's really the best solution, combined with a roof top AC. I see the Hondasare $1200+ and some knock offs...

I heard from the guy again yesterday, and he again said that with 4 lithiums, I could run rooftop AC.

What questions should I ask a carrier before signing on?

I've called places while on the road and they all say appointments are stacked 3 weeks out, no matter how minor your issue

I spent all day yesterday at the Sprinter shop with the owner who has a personality like the Soup Nazi. I'm told I have an appointment so I go in first thing, and he rudely tells me I don't. In addition, he opens at 9, and I was there a little before, but he and his crew arrive a little after 9...

Somebody's telling me the 4 cylinder diesel Sprinter holds 25 gallons of diesel, insists that's the case. But when my fuel light comes on, I can only pump about 19 gallons in. Anybody have one that can confirm?

What if he runs the engine and main AC long enough to get the temp down inside so all the roof top has to do is maintain it?

Somebody's telling me the 4 cylinder diesel Sprinter holds 25 gallons of diesel, insists that's the case. But when my fuel light comes on, I can only pump about 19 gallons in. Anybody have one that can confirm?

The guy in the video said 8-9 hours after it gets cooled off and switches to low.
