    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    Doesn't bother me I'm just trying to hit the sweet spot between the extended Sprinter and a class 6 truck. At $3 a mile on the current load I'm on (158 Sprinter) I can make up for the extra cost :) The extra space will mean more $. Pay to play!

    Cargo Van Time for a high top

    30 mpg will be the new standard on the 2019 Sprinter if you can wait until late 2018, offering 4 different lengths.

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    For the type of loads I do it would be perfect and I could even put a sleeper with twin bed in the box behind the cab. I guess the minimum is probably 50 or 100, if it were only 10 would probably be possible to get a group buy going. Most would have to go out and purchase a box truck or a...

    So the solution is not to idle ever and get exhaust system checked frequently so you don't harm others near you if you do choose to idle. Pretty sure my exhaust is original on my 06 Sprinter, originally a south Florida vehicle and I have only made a couple trips up north in the winter. I never...

    Yep unfortunately, the hit rewind on technology. The 4 cylinder 7 speed is more advanced combo. 2019 couldn't come fast enough.

    Expediter Cargo Vans May See An Increase...

    Yeah it seemed a little off, I didn't think there were hills with pine trees in the east English Village. I was posting that to show the median income and housing price, not sure how accurate those were either.

    Expediter Cargo Vans May See An Increase...

    Makes you think some of the van drivers are coming out of these neighborhoods, These Are The 10 Worst Detroit Neighborhoods I'm right there with them but probably over 20k per year. Trying to get back to 40-50k when I was a 2 van party so I can afford the premium Detroit lifestyle :D Once I get...

    No 4 cylinder no deal, I'm not going to submit to Mercedes and drive old technology a engine that has been out since the mid 2000's. They are letting the EPA control them.

    What is invoice cost on a new extended Sprinter with air ride and suspension seats?

    being semiretired

    Yes they do make money, usually a little above the poverty level, expect around 25-30k a year or 50k if you want to keep moving non stop and never take a break. (I mean taking loads that require excess deadhead and just do scrap loads to stay moving in your slow time) You will get tired of those...
