Any idea what the longest solo straight truck run would be typically and how frequent they are? I really wanted to get a straight but I feel like if I did I would be on the road non stop and get too addicted to slaving away on the highways with a van I can kinda take time off when needed...

The word short and nap don't go together for me I'll keep trying them though. I did run a team load solo from Austin Tx to Orange County CA back in November in 24 hrs direct with a 2.5 hr nap at the TA in Benson AZ. $1500 and no work for 4 weeks will give you some good motivation! ;) I left my...

I've had to slap myself on Canadian highways (and also in the States) in the face on those over night runs from Chicago to Toronto... Music, fresh air lets see what else works... I'm not into those runs where the sun greets you anymore and no sleep was to be had. :persevere:

I believe most expedite companies require a sleeper but probably a few that don't for shorter runs, maybe solo's are exempt IDK :anguished:

I think generally carriers are getting more picky with vans, but sometimes a good conversation can lead to great opportunities! ;)

The guys with the $100,000 condo sleepers are still listening :D

Apparently the doorman tail light socket holder are better then oem on the Sprinters. But I wouldn't trust their harmonic balancers or engine related components over OEM or OE quality equivalent brands.

Not sure where in NV you are but if you live in Reno I'm sure you could jump on the I80 and head over the pass through Truckee down to Sacramento and get some decent loads.

Discharging as in taking the good energy and high expectations he might have had previously before the other member posted/mentioned the negatives regarding the carrier :D

Looking to head to Denver early May then bust a load from there to orientation by mid May. I think freight should be up and moving steady by then.

I hear Western Star, Volvo and Freightliner are the best

Quarter minimum if I can't use it to wash the Sprinter or do laundry not worth it :p

Lets see just made the trip a couple weeks ago from Dallas to LA. Replaced battery in Dallas, Coolant Hose in Phoenix and cam sensor in LA so all is well now. Always helps to have spare parts if you have budget and extra room to carry them. Take the route with the least miles and or route with...

Speaking of rates I think the local car courier rate just surpassed the nationwide expedite Sprinter rate :D

FUSION TRANSPORTATION POSSIBLY MIGHT WORK Rates are slightly low, recruiter told me .80 and a Fusion driver told me .95

My set up is a ikea twin mattress that goes over the wheel well when not in use :D

Local not really a option I've tried local all my life and it never works. I'm sure it would work in a straight or a car but not in Sprinter unless you're your own company and find clientele base. ;) I spoke with American Expedite a local company that is a nationwide chain and they said in a...

Looking to get back into expediting in May this year and need a good carrier. I've decided not to invest 35k in a straight or a 15/16 Sprinter and just keep using the Sprinter that is paid off. Currently running uship part time and can move anywhere with my current ratings but it takes massive...

Because if a Sprinter can get 30mpg on hwy and competition can only get 25 there is going to be some extra $ in peoples pockets at the end of the year, not to mention personal miles will be liking driving a car almost. Didn't realize sales were doing good from state to state I'm sure it varies...

Half price works for me, payment in hand... Leo? Nobody really knows whats so good about it until details are released so far just spy shots of front end, but it will be the first body style change officially since 2007 so expecting some major upgrades as well as improved MPG! Fuel efficiency...
