    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Where to go?

    Vehicle Question / Which Carrier

    I would use the total list of the Carriers that advertise on this site until you find one that would accept you and your Sprinter and insurance coverage. You then would have the advantage of finding your own freight if things get slow, or, if the stars line up, getting a two or three banger...
