Ok, I hate my bed and it has to change. I had a 3 skid load and had to take it down, then nap in the driver's seat. It's a twin mattress laying on an army/camping cot, laying front to back because it's too long to turn side to side. I despise that set up. I'm having trouble finding a smaller...

Anybody know where a mattress for a Sprinter can be obtained, picked up without ordering/waiting? Would need one the right size to sleep crossways just behind the seats. Will be home this weekend and want to get my bed set up. I'd get an air mattress but my side door doesn't open at all and I'd...

Sitting in Florida. Hotter than snot. Humid. I've asked my dispatchers for a load north of the Arctic circle. Until that comes through, I'm observing all the other Sprinters in the lot. The sun is beating down on all of us. My AC is barely noticeably cooler than the outside air. None of the...

I have a large tablet, a Galaxy tab S7+. I imagine in a year or so, I'll upgrade to a newer model of essentially the same thing. It's large and comparatively heavy. I'll use it for navigation and audio while running. The Sprinter really offers few options for mounting devices. I want to keep it...

Is there some convenient app to use to track all our activity? Not really a spreadsheet. You'd put in your loads, the miles, etc. You fuel up, it records the time and place, you snap a picture of the receipt and it stores it. It stores a screen shot of the Google map of the run. You deliver and...

The driver's side headlight on my 2015 Sprinter has gone out twice in a month. The first time, I pulled the bulb, matched it with a new one, slipped the new one in, and voila, let there be light. Last night, same thing. So I got a new bulb, changed it, and the earth is without form and void...

Ideas for what might be wrong? 2015 MB Sprinter. AC pretty cold at highway speed, but pretty tepid at slower speeds or when idling. Also freezes a couple times per hour when rolling, necessitating turning off the AC for a couple minutes. Than it thaws and air flows again.

Love's in Nashville. Never been here before. Can't believe Love's would sully their reputation like this.

I plan on building a bed by laying plywood on hardware store buckets or milk crates. How thick should the plywood be for a fat guy? Do I need to go a full inch thick?

We're really stacked up here. About a dozen vans here. Slept afternoon and evening so I'm awake now. Boy, I'll tell you, there are some interesting individuals hanging out here. I've seen cars come in with busted out windows, they still to beg for cigarettes, and then roll out. I think when the...

The existing bed in this 2015 Mercedes Sprinter is front to back, and I just can't stand it not being across. The mattress is too big to turn sideways, though. Anybody know the right length to order to use all the space across? I'm planning on using several Home Depot buckets as a base...

I'm starting in a 2015 Mercedes Sprinter. I'm planning on taking out the passenger seat at some point. Don't know how that's done yet, but that's down the road a bit, after I figure out how to power a fridge, microwave, and AC. But my immediate concern is where to mount a CB. There's so little...

What do you do with the generator sitting outside your van when it rains? And what do you do when you need AC and thereby the generator, but there's a chance of rain or pop up showers, but you need to go to sleep? You just forgo the generator and AC on those days? I drive someone else's van so I...

What happened to expediters using an AC unit running off a generator? As I recall, they were slim towers, and I think you have to elevate them for drainage and vent them out the window. I don't know what those models of AC are called so I'm having trouble finding them.

So this is related to a previous question I posted about an improving economy putting expediters back in the saddle. It looks like the rail strike might be a thing again after all. If that happens, truck capacity will be stretched beyond all reason. If that happens, does anyone foresee...

Imagine a new administration takes over, whether Act II of a prior one or a new one, that isn't at war with the energy sector. We go back to drilling and become energy independent again, causing the price to return to what we would call normal. Business policies become friendly again. Does...

I'm looking into Sprinter interior setups--bed, sleeper, fridge, microwave, etc. From reading the site, it seems that Turtle has quite the setup, but the pictures seem to be missing. Have these been moved or are they saved somewhere I haven't found?

So I'm talking with a company that employs drivers to drive Sprinters, paying .35/mile. The owner said the Sprinter hauls 4 pallets and has a fold-up bed. The way I remembered, I thought 3 skids was the maximum for large Sprinters, and most people put in a bed, possible with a bulkhead, that...

I expedited for a few years starting in 99. After going to big trucks, non-expediting, for several years, I'm thinking of getting back into expediting. Upon perusing the site for just a few minutes, it seems things have changed. About the first thing I see is that Exam link, and nothing like...
