Warm (90 plus) and sunny Laredo. Welcome to RoadKing and Laura. Were almost neighbors when I'm home. :)

Do I really need to secure the load......it's so heavy it shouldn't move on it's own......right? ;)

Home ATM waiting for the phone to ring. Spent 3 days in Atlanta last week waiting for a run that never materialized. That is the second time for a 3 day wait in that area w/ no results. Is Atlanta that bad of an area to get a run out of?:confused:

Stayed at the Dallas J (front lot) for 3 days in August and had no problems other than the music they pipe out to the lot 27 -7 course it rained continuosly the whole time. The only time I did feel unsafe in Dallas was at one of the local malls when I went to use the restroom at the one of the...

Has anyone tried using one of the plug and play enhancement modules? I was thinking of using the Bully Dog or the TS performance MP-8 module on my 08 Sprinter. Both claim to increase HP and MPG. Anyone using one of these? Are there any known negetive side effects to the engine or...

What is up with Atlanta area? Been here close to three days with nothing. Thinking of moving to Chattanooga. At least its in the direction of home.

Sittin at a freinds house in Buford, GA. while dispatch actively searches the boards for freight. LOL OVM you crack me up! :)

I have to agree. In June Espar installed a fan-tastic vent, insolator, 1800 watt inverter & an Odessey deep cell battery in my 08 Sprinter. I'm very happy with the quality instalation and thought the price was fair. I will return to Espar for a heater when the time comes.

OVM, it's only a nightmare at rally week if your not on two wheels, with your knees in the breeze. But on the other hand I suppose your knees are in the breeze all the time, with them shorts u be sport'in. LOL :D

SB I-75 Reststop around 129 mile marker. 14 miles north of Flint, MI. Waitin on a run to points unknown...... or south towards home, whichever comes first. :p

Home, back in service after a one week vacation with the family to Maine. C'mon an ring now, ......time to pay for all the fun we had last week. :eek:

Sitting @ home waiting on the phone. Just got my first run last week. Detroit to West Bend Wi. Got some sleep then a run from Chicago to OKC. delivered on the 15th. It was forcast to be 103 so it was a Motel 6 stay. Fantastic vent has its limits. :rolleyes: Stayed in OKC area for 3 days and...

Well Phil, I got the newbie part covered. This is my 1st week out. Currently sitting in the Sprinter at a camp ground close to OK. City, enjoying the cool evening air, from the fan. After 103 and 95 degree days this is a welcome relief. I have had two runs this week first one was 417 miles. The...

Thanks for the replys. That is great relief...go get the plates tomarrow. :D

I guess I should stick to one question at a time. :eek: So the regular commercial plates are OK?

I was hoping for a different answer :( but thats what I thought. Do they base the rates on weight? Any idea how much they cost?

Can anyone tell me if I need IRP plates for my 3/4 ton Sprinter? The vehicle runs under 10k. The company I intend to lease to says I need to be licensed for 48 states. I live in Ohio. Would regular commercial plates fill that requirement? :confused: Thanks for any help.

Just want to say thanks for all the great info on Sprinters. I retired from Jeep May 1st and have been researching the possibilities of doing expedite with a van. Being a Chrysler guy I have always been looking at the Sprinter. I think I know just about all the options available. The only thing...

What is better a fixed rate, or 65 to 70% of the Adjusted Gross revenue (Contractors revenue)? The percentage of AGR depends on the mileage. I'm talking for a Sprinter Van. Thanks for any input, from a prospect trying to weigh all the options. :)

Thanks again for all the advise and commentary. It really is appreciated by someone that is trying to take in all the facts before I make a move. I'm still very much on the fence about retirement. I have a good job and enjoy the family time, most of the time anyhow LOL. At the present I'm...
