    Is Detroit a safe place to relocate if in right neighborhood?

    Yeah still watching from far away, just bummed out about the killings there... too many for my liking. It seems you have to spend 300-400k to be in a good neighborhood where you will only here gun shots in surrounding neighborhoods. All the neighborhoods with the real deals are getting kinda...

    Continuous DEF Problems with Sprinters

    I think I'll pick up one of these 2010-2013 (to please carriers and improve ride comfort) Sprinters and play with the dpf when they get real cheap as in under 10 grand, go for one under 200k. I heard the MPG is no good, hmmmm maybe skip and go 4 cylinder, 2019 model "they say now" not coming...

    Uber Freight

    Another reason to run percentage and ask to see every ticket as it is your right to... ! Its all about what they can bring home in the office, you gotta get behind the mentality and realize yes they want to extort cheap labor and yes all they care about is $. FUEL MPG regulation, food production...

    distance record

    I once did 800 miles on a tank in a 06 Sprinter 158. I had another one that I also did 760 miles and then ran out. I also did many 720 mile tanks. With current Sprinter I can't get over 650, must have the wrong differential.

    solo straight how do you make it work

    Don't want to drop 30k right now on a straight as good as the money will be I'll lose my freedom, I'd be most likely driving 24 7 again coast to coast all in. I'm reluctant to become a solo straight fleet owner, just don't know the solo straight fleet owner coaching abilities as well as I do a...

    Is Expediting a Business or a Lifestyle?

    Expediting is for married people, if you are single it will kill your social life! Yes you can make connections on the road but try telling a woman you just got a load and are driving 1200-1500 miles out of town with no exact return date. They will never understand :rolleyes:

    Courier Minivan use

    I just hauled back a electronic drumset a volvo jet boat motor and a room divider in my car from FL to Tx so I think you could make it happen :eek: Sprinter sitting. 2006 AC design won't hang with over 90 degree temps, what do you do buy a car for $2k and stay cool or buy a $35k Sprinter and...

    Starting wiht sprinters

    Not too mention in addition, each Sprinter requires $2000-5000 of modifications to be able to run all seasons and enjoy a comfortable life on road which drivers need and want. Depends on how much cash you have, got 200k to risk then give it a shot and order up 4 Sprinters, might be better off in...

    The Newer Unreliable Cargo Vans

    I've been driving my vintage 06 Sprinter all these years waiting for something better to arrive. The 07-13 is definitely out of the question for me. All the horror stories and a set back on mpg why bother.. hopefully the prices on the 14-16 will come down but supply and demand there weren't that...

    The Newer Unreliable Cargo Vans

    2018 Sprinter coming soon, 2-3 yrs late in my opinion. MB tech in Detroit told me couple yrs back they are striving to make it bullet proof (not literally) this time around. Wish I had the cash but I'm thinking buying a house may be a better idea.

    Not your typical expediter.

    If you want to occasionally drive you will have to jump through some hoops and get certified drug tested etc I did that once to drive a week when I was a small time 2 sprinter fleet owner and it was more trouble then it was worth :)

    Looking for Carrier that will take on a 06 Sprinter

    I will keep dreaming on down the I-10...:guitar:;) just did 2650 miles for $4435. I can live with those numbers. 13+ clients total on this run. The main reason for switching back over to expedite was to enjoy some nice Candian summer time temps and focus on shorter 300-600 miles runs in the...
