September was our hottest on record. With a reefer, you can chill in the back! Not sure the Sprinters like to idle for long periods, though. Sales guy says it's okay with an idle-up adjustment. :confused:

Don't cha know.

Good for ventilation, I bet.

Thanks Turtle. It seems to me that forward living area would be more livable during downtime with the additional view.

Let me ask it another way. Has anyone observed cv's with either sliding door or rear door windows? Thanks in advance for your response.

Funny, even though I had to google it first. :p

Now that's interesting, and validates an MB dealership's move here in Arizona that has a number of new Sprinters with reefers and lightweight insulation installed on 3500s. They installed the bulkhead mid-van to provide forward living space. As it is, you couldn't fit a standard pallet in the...

Actually, there were a few lifts during the dance scene in the first act. Later, there were a few stiffs carted off in a morgue reefer.

You had 11 other loads in some bad economic times, and kept going back. The West seems to offer some opportunity for dry, no-lift loads... :)

See now if you eastuhnoors ran a few more runs out heuh, you'd know that if'n it's freshly laid it's still a pie...less'n it froze so quick to becuhm a chip so faaaaast.

Sorry, x06col, I guess I gave you too much credit.

Point taken, Phil. We consciously place ourselves to be in a position of high probability. That's the skill part. The rest is up to the expediter gods. The more skillful, the less divine intervention required to be successful.

Assuming windows are 100% blacked out... 1) Do carriers regard sliding door windows as: a) unacceptable b) grudgingly tolerable c) entirely up to the o/o 2) Do carriers regard rear door windows as: a) unacceptable b) grudgingly tolerable c) entirely up to the o/o

Nothing compares to stopping, middle of the road, at Yellowstone, and yielding to a herd of thousands crossing before our family-filled van. We sat there, awestruck by the mass of roaming fur. I knew I would return one day, vowing that the precious cargo I carried those years would someday find...

Oh give me a load, to where the buffalo roam...

The lights work, but are they necessary?

It would appear, then, that the West Side story isn't altogether much different than back east, except for frequency of loads. Also perhaps in the distance of runs. It's surprising to me, a newbie, how subject you drivers are to plain luck in getting loads, being in the right place at the...

It might, if you hauled the trailer inside the van. :rolleyes: 10k # limit refers to GVWR, not GCWR.

Why not? We're equally off-topic in either.

Note the lower case d, Greg. What are you, some kind of Keynesian? :D
