What if each of us puts 5 vans on the road tomorrow, where will the rate/profit be then? :cool:

If they went class 6 I'd be all over that...

Lets get moving here. Ready to roll! I need a Denver to SO Cal or Denver to Tx, can you make the wheels spin or is this another one of those startup "technology" companies... :D

Yes for now that is the best plan.

Why not a winter vacation load to S Florida and wait for all 70 to clear or do they stack up on the weekends? :D

I think so... used to be a different name. I can't quite remember would have to check my records.

That's only about 20 per truck stop give or take. We'll send a few more that way to clog up the 285:D

There used to be just steer clear of Action Express they still owe me over 700+ USD... :(

With those kinda prices and a I4 I could get back into the business. (note to self) check current rates. :D I make a $1 per mile in my car now.

Doing $1k + this week with lyft getting 40 mpg in a car, waiting for Sprinters to depreciate and rates to go up!!! And I also need to move, Colorado is not a good place for expedited shipments. o_O:D

And what rate are those wheels currently spinning for?

There is one also in Buena Park, CA. Almost went to it but I'm trying to save that experience for Chicago. :D

I drove by that bar on the hwy 101 last week on a delivery to Santa Barbara between 11pm-midnight. Now the fires, guess I got out at the right time.

The 4 cylinder Sprinter is the main engine in Europe last I checked. "Hopefully" they will add the new OM654 4 cylinder DIESEL to the North America line up in upcoming years after they see Sprinter sales dwindle... but if it's too fuel efficient which I'm sure its getting 28-30+ mpg they won't...

I'd say the bigger cities have the best eats, LA, NY, Chicago, Houston. Runners up include Tampa/Miami, Kansas City and Albuquerque. And of course the well known culinary cities like Boston and New Orleans. Usually something good in every state.

Seems more dependent on carrier rates, although fuel economy can also be a factor at the end of the day.

Nobody wants those 6 cylinders, they drink fuel too quickly. The predecessor was more efficient. Progression not regression.

Assuming the van will last a million miles. :D

Yes those are the 2014-2018. Nice color just need the 177 inch wheelbase on the 2019 model.

Some information on the upcoming Sprinter 4 cylinder engine, should produce 30mpg or 13% better fuel economy then the predecessor. Mercedes New Workhorse – the OM 654 OM 654: The future of the diesel engine at Mercedes-Benz | Daimler
