    Sprinter Van Advances Announced

    Very interesting!? But not much use out here. Unless you want to micromanage your folks. Reading between the lines you see the effort to create "their system" which would require dedicated MB assets (containers, scanners etc) & logistics (software etc) = more money for MB & again at a premium...

    The FedEx Image

    Better you than b.stick. that crap irritates me no end. One fool ask me about a road up ahead (I was in a rest area eating). I looked at my map & said yep! Less than 30 miles. As I pick up my sandwich he reached in my window. I slammed his arm in (on) the window support & damn near broke it...

    Upcoming OM654 Sprinter

    Sigh! I will give the sprinter 2 things. #1. I didn't think the 11 inches (longer than this el transit) would be missed as it was "extra" . Yet I miss it almost daily now. #2 I felt the driver position in the sprinter mediocre. Yet now realize it a glorious lounge compared to this transit (had...

    TOTAL HAPPINESS?

    Our society thrives on stupidity. It takes only a sliver of cleverness to tap the idiot vein and drink deeply of the riches within.

    Dodge Promaster vs Ford Transit

    Makes you wonder why dodge didn't keep the engine they use in Europe in it? As I recall the 3.6 pentastar isn't that good in their cars. Likewise fraught with problems.

    Warning Drivers please read this. RIP. Young Expediter.

    My sincere condolences to the relatives of the man involved. It does explain why I don't do that, and why I move when someone fires them things up next to me.

    Best Cargo Van for New Owner/Operator

    He's determined, he'll learn eventually, maybe? Once again I've learned in this thread as with others. Maybe one day I'll have the Christmas pie & my thumb will have the plum on it. Course by that time the pie will post on Facebook about how I mole - ested it and should be dismissed from...

    The way forward

    As I study others, things occur that put me off. Paperwork fees, won't answer phone, or "we'll return your call @ our convenience". I left a company after hearing that. I recall a phrase " do you want what we have & are you willing to go to any length to get it?" Alas to often after...

    Tesla Unveils All-Electronic Big Rig

    Madrid, Athens, Rome, new Delhi is in there somewhere I think & Brussels, Oslo. It's a big list Correction 2025 not 2020. Most are imposing "fees" for diesel vehicles commensurate with their age til then.

    2016 Dodge Promaster

    Y'all are scaring me again! Can't speak to the cam thing, but understand the quality control thing. Put a silver Star trans in the sprinter, it was flakey, changed driveshaft to a dorman (replaceable u-joints). Despite the alignment arrows it vibrated @ certain speeds. Quality is a real...
