    Sprinter life expectancy

    IMO they are like any other truck, They will last as long as you are willing to replace what ever wears out, or breaks. Untill it is no longer cost efficent to repair it, which could be a millon miles or more.

    Advice needed

    Just my guess that after its all said and done you would be running your truck with all the responsibilities for less than $9 or $10 or less/ hour worked.

    Advice needed

    Just do the math, average 60 stops / day over a 10 hour day is 6 stops / hour or 1 every 10 minutes. If you can get to those stops every 10 minutes. Stopping that often and it would probly be city miles not Hwy, IMO you might get 8-10 Mpg. 200 Miles at 10 mpg is 20 galllons X 3.50/ gal= 70.00/...

    Where Have All The Controversial Posts Gone

    Maybe everyone finally came to the conclusion that this is not Rocket Science. We pickup at point A and take it to point B. Wait for the next call and do it again. What is there to Argue about???

    Wheres the miles???

    The bigger Picture is I guess I was looking for a good excuse to take the rest of the year off. Just the wrong place at the wrong time. Like someone else said you have to look at averages. And I averaged enough to justify talking the rest of the year off.
