    April location's and other gossip

    Laura told me that they ran out of 3 digit numbers, because in the beginning, vans and sprinters had the 200's, and ST had the 300's. Well, the 200's are all used up, so they've gone to a 4 digit system now. Hope that clears it up. :)

    I too apologize for jumping the gun...just came across as my being here is leading to someone's leaving. Glad it's all straightened around. Wolf, you waved at me...the big lunkhead in blue wearing glasses. Went to an early birthday dinner with Luke and Melanie tonight...was gonna go hang out...

    Sorry you feel that way. Freight is slow everywhere for vans/sprinters...just the nature of the beast. I'm not sure how signing me on is going to hurt things here for the rest of you, but I'm going to earn a living and that's that. Signing on somewhere won't fix the problem...I left my last...

    Made it through orientation. Gonna grab a shower and do laundry tonight and go in service tomorrow. Sprinter freight is gonna pick up guys, and then you'll be begging for a day off....or complaining about it, I'm just not sure which yet. :D

    1st day of orientation in the books. I've worked for quite a few companies and so far I am nothing but impressed! Currently sitting in the drivers lounge, so if you're here, stop on up and say hi....I'm the handsome one. :p

    Good evening, all.... first time thread reader, long time poster. Wait... I just want to say thank you for the warm reception. I realize that the other Sprinter drivers/Owners seeing that another Sprinter is being added to the fleet may come across as a bit 'disheartening'. I have been...

    Is the multi-carrier business model worth it?

    I am a partner in a small expediting company (One straight truck and one Sprinter for now). My partners drive for one company in the ST, and I for another. I started out with the same carrier as they did; told a bunch of pipe dreams about Sprinter and CV freight. After one month (Now mind you...

    Our experience with C&M Transport so far...

    Let me give you a bit of insight into what I've been doing, Dave: I leased on with a major carrier in November, being told the their Sprinter freight was just booming. After a month on the road with them, I got 963 paid miles. Unhappy and going broke, I took a chance and moved to a smaller...

    Here's a neat little app for your smartphone/iPhone: TIKL. A walkie-talkie type thing. Works awesomely! Sometimes the direct connect gets a little buggy depending on locations & cell service, but there's also a chat feature where you record your message and send. I've converted a few people...

    Orientation tomorrow.

    Hello there! Just left another company after running less that 1100 miles in almost a month (Won't say the name, but it has an "E" and a "1" in their name...lol). Hope to do better here. I know this time of year stinks, but 135 miles for one week is just plain sad. Be safe, and I'll see you...

    "Stink thinkin", but it got me to wondering

    I also am a type 2 diabetic...I run a Sprinter, and still had to get my DOT physical, because my carrier requires it. You will find that most of the companies on EO require a drug screen and physical for their insurance and just to stay in compliance. I also looked into the waiver process, just...

    Sprinter freight

    Ok, I was just wondering. I've been out of expediting for about 3 years. And although I was in a straight truck for another company *meow*, I never sat like this, even before Christmas. I guess that's the difference though: straight trucks are running like crazy, and CV's & Sprinter freight is...
