    Unfortunately the only two items that come to mind are weight and speed. You might try driving a little more conservately for a tank or two and see what results you get? Hope your mpg does'nt kill you profits.

    Detention charges...

    The range is generally 25.00 to 100.00 for T-val reefer shipments. Of course this would be after the normal waiting time based on unit size. Hope this helps.

    Washer Fluid Heater

    It was a great system to have in the winter, but even better in the summer for the bugs! I can't remember the company name. They are in the Detroit area. Terry do you remember? The old brain ain't what it use to be! The system worked within a few seconds with very hot fluid. If you needed fluid...

    Mack Straight Truck Question(s)

    I think the Mack Vision would make an excellent straight truck! I lived in Albuqurque NM. years ago and the only truck to own was a Mack! Very dependable and service was not a problem ever, more than I can say for the other big truck makers. Down side is a little narrow cab, period! Good luck...

    Fuel Surcharges

    How about talking to the operations manager and ask him directly what is the fuel surcharge and why your not getting your fair share? Can't hurt to be direct? Good luck.

    Chicago Express Lanes

    Your Sprinter is not considered a commercial vehicle in Chicago. Do you have the I-Pass in your vehicle? This would help in getting around Chi-Town.

    NYC

    I would not single out a city or area to avoid hauling freight in or out of. You will find this to be a "bad business practice" one that dispatch will soon recognize as being uncooperative. It's up to you of course as a business owner. Give it deep thought and decide your options based on...

    You are in the hot bed of all freight! If you can't make it in your backyard, you won't make it anywhere! Contact some of the carriers and see what they have to say about keeping you busy and profitable and never drive more than 150 miles away. Good luck and keep us posted how you do?

    HUT and more

    The HUT sticker won't be a problem if they stay out of NY. There IFTA sticker is another story, you may be stopped and fined. How about a temporary permit? Good luck.

    Southern Expediter Companies

    Unless you are trying to stay close to home, it should not matter were you live. I would contact Landstar or Panther II, and see what they have to say? Good luck, I know there are not a large number of carriers adding vans at this time of year, so your choices will be fewer.

    HUT Sticker (PermiT)

    They are usually late and give extensions. Check with your permit service to see if they are in fact late this year? By the way, why are number 6, or should that be SICK? Just curious?
