    Tesla Unveils All-Electronic Big Rig

    France Paris specifically, Mexico city, London, several others. I think France is hot against gas too 2040 for that one. China banned coal for home heating by the end of this year, but has recently rolled that back due to no alternatives.

    Tesla Unveils All-Electronic Big Rig

    Having read each post several times I feel it is a niche market at best (as previously stated by others). Lng/Lpg will eventually be the long haul fuel of choice. Electric in the short haul. As we as a nation move away from diesel (through various paths) things not presently volital will become...

    Electric Expediter Vans

    Always the cart before the horse. Aka the Microsoft mentality = just get it out there, we'll fix it later. Someone spoke of this elsewhere recently. How the Lng/Lpg potential just got rolled over and trampled in the "EV" stampede. I thought this was a far better option as we (US) have huge...

    My Promaster 3500 repair.

    While I can't claim insight or sixth sense to not choosing promaster (too tall to sit comfortably in there). I do believe it great to post data on dealer who "gets it done" promptly. For others to know.

    new sprinter van coming out

    Granted I'm cheap (frugal), I do not do cheap (as in freight) (cheap as in "bimbo's = OK!)

    new sprinter van coming out

    Ovm you are one & we all know there is always one. Having said that the flood of those to defend MB will now appear. I speak and will only ever speak from my own experience. I know I am not the minority in this however. I too doubt a million milles, somewhere my sprinter (11) is chugging...

    Tesla Unveils All-Electronic Big Rig

    That's kinda sad too as I was looking forward to that. Taxis in Fairbanks AK have been burning propane for decades (ice fog issues there). Lpg/lng is clean burning, efficient & cheaper.

    Upcoming OM654 Sprinter

    All seriousness aside; how will that help? How will that mitigate the expense of repair? Rather seems to increase costs. Does the PDF have a removable "cleanable" screen? I had one, I wanted to like it, I wanted to feel confident. Never could. On the v6 the left manifold (pass side) is a big...

    new sprinter van coming out

    All BSing aside what Mercedes does not have is "value" for that extra money. As thin as our margins are we must have that value .... period. I've been there & done that. I will not go back. Actually had one dealer send me mail about how I should want to pamper my MB vehicle, closed with...

    Upcoming OM654 Sprinter

    Drive with confidence ???? Drive on edge of terror !! be more like it. Traded my high maintenance bimbo er sprinter in for a younger (girl) transit. Was whining & sniveling before the honeymoon ended (axle). Go out with the boys (talk about my new hottie) all complaining like old married men ...

    The way forward

    I must be an idiot in this ?? I've struggled year after year. I've lived as stated by f-van .... Debt free, pay off vehicle early etc etc. I have what I started with dollar wise, but no profit. Damn sure no sense of security to suggest "gee bring another into your life". I've squirrelled away...

    sprinter-van question

    Hhhmmmm?! I may have taken this out of context? FxCC doesn't do that. But then I keyed in on verbiage not context. My bad.

    a chance to drive for fleet owner

    Another glorious thread that says "it sucks to be here". Ha ha honest though. I never cease to be amazed at what people do to screw another. The millennials have it right walking in (in one regard). They know they'll get screwed, they have no loyalty, and once they achieve their goal for that...

    The way forward

    No one's spoken falsely yet. Your key is "support family". Which as it stands is not doable in a van (my experience). Single in a str8 can be a challenge too. At the risk of being the "ogre" here I would say if young w/family ... do something else (just my 2¢). Nothing gets better out here...

    Which ELD to insta

    Nope! When you see tractors crawling in traffic backups that's why they're doing it. Protecting the drive time (as much as they can anyway). Also why many hit the roadside & wait.

    sprinter-van question

    You don't, unless you write it down. You said "c-Link" which implies "fxcc". With fxcc never doubt that it's never about you (despite verbiage which implies anything else). It is always about them. Fxcc is a total "system" environment. If it's harder than it needs to be & more complicated...

    I want to be your Dispatcher

    Best Cargo Van for New Owner/Operator

    Difficulty learning from others experiences is why the Neanderthals died out, along with "Java" & "Peking" man plus all the others not mentioned. This same problem exists today in us. Verified by the fact that for every 100 women there are only 96 men. Check utube, gotta be a video out there...
