You may look into a used Penske GMC 3500 cube. There are several on Ebay right now. They have 10,000# GVWR which keeps you under 10,001. They are 15' long. The other advantage is they are mounted on a dually chassis making the boxes wider. You should be able to get two 45" wide skids side by...

Where on earth do they find these brain surgeons??? A typical ambiguous answer: "It is our interpretation that you must scale if the scales are open" Like anyone would scale if they were closed?????? Makes you wonder if he even heard the part of the question about cargo vans. I think they...

RE: Gas Mileage for a DODGE SPRINTER dually 3500 w An owner/operator from my company has a 2004 Sprinter cube 14' box and he gets 16 mpg. One thing to look at is mid year 2004 they changed the gvwr on these from 9990 to 10,200 which pushes it over the threshold for logging and other FMCSA...

1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. I run the above mentioned truck and was in the same situation as far as no QC or signs. The truck has an 11,000 GVWR. I ran for 3 years on 10,000# license plates with no problem. Then boom I got nailed...

1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. I just turned 502K on the above truck. I usually intend to due oil changes every 7500 miles but when I actually get around to doing it, it seems to be more like 9500-10,000. I've never done an oil...

No sleepers??? Bunks in the box??? Sounds like a DOT violation to me!!!

If a driver is operating a vehicle under 10,001# can he still take 70% of the per diem? I read somewhere that only drivers who fall under the DOT Hours of Service regulations can take the 70%. Thanks

It's kind of hard to compare apples to apples on these since the Sprinter comes standard with a diesel engine. Add the $5500-5800 diesel option to the Ford or GM's and you are right in the same ball park. I would have to go with the high roof Sprinter in that case. If 15 mpg vs 22 mpg is not a...

What is the minimum amount of time I need to be gone from home before I can count it as a per diem expense day? I do not go out for weeks at a time and am usually only gone 1 or 2 days at a time.

I can think of one truckstop off the top of my head that has Sunday church services. The Ambest New Lisbon Indiana I-70 at exit 131. I know I have seen others but that's the only one I can think of for sure.

I know. I also checked their website but it has not been updated. The new program was to go into effect on Jan. 9th 2006.

The old system was 1 point per gallon no minimum purchase. Now granted it took forever for me to accumulate any points but at least I was able to get some as opposed to now. I never went their unless I had to anyway because of the price difference between them and the J plus the extra 5 cents...

Has anyone been to Pilot lately and observed the new Driver Payback Program. Now you can earn 1.5 points per gallon of diesel purchased.......IF you purchase at least 175 gallons. Their new system is something like this.....I can't remember the exact numbers but it is something close to this...

Is anyone out there running the new GM vans with the Duramax diesel? They just came out for 2006. Just curious to know the mpg and any problems so far?

I am sure the Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi clan are already concocting a story to blame this on Bush. You know everything bad that happens in this country is Bush's fault.

Joel, I will have to agree with Danny. That was a very classy and professional response to his concerns.

You may want to double check that. I drive a Dodge Ram 3500 truck with a 12' cube. The GVWR is 11,000 but I plated it for 10,000 thinking I could avoid the logs. I got pulled over by a Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement officer (Do NOT call them DOT)who made it clear that it did not matter what...

Nice truck. Do you have to carry a logbook with this unit??

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE If You Can Read This Thank A Teacher, If It's In English Thank A Soldier, If It's In English And Spanish Thank A Liberal.

Sprinter VAN with duals are under 10,000. The Sprinter cab/chassis with duals are 10,200 GVWR.
