The solution...for me....would be to rent a car on the occassions like you mentioned being close to home. The times where you just want to ride a bike...try to rent one. I dont know how available the bikes are....a car should be pretty easy to find. In short, I would spend my time finding...

Not yet... been workin on my bell

You have a good point. I've seen some huge fsc #'s before. Not sure how that gets worked out in a split situation....never been there.

Ive had some of those problems with the CargoMax as well. Even the Chevy dealer at home kinda gives me that "look" when I talk to 'em. At least I know they will try if at all possible.

Loaded....delivers in a really rough neighborhood Im told....about an hour from Alpena, MI. On that note...ran a local Friday night....nothing like delivering to a Detroit address at midnight! I didn't waste a lot of time while going from the van to the building, and back.

Ding....ding

Ding....ding, ding

Ding......ding.......ding, ding. Ding....is this thing workin? ......ding, ding

Ding, ding, ding...just had to do that again :D

ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner!

That post is a bit stronger than actually intended, but the facts are there. Its a trade off somewhere. There is nothing wrong with sacrificing profitability for liesure...as long as you understand and can knowingly afford that sacrifice. I have some relaitves that always, always kept a nice...

I'll be loaded (with freight :) ) in a couple hours. I'll go away for a while then :D.

Oh, that's simple! You just have to get everybody in the trucking industry to agree that it needs an update...and by how much :D

I guess it is how you look at it as far as wasted money goes I would consider the load I missed because it wouldnt fit in a box that shares a motorcycle... wasted money. I would also consider the 150,000+ miles that a team truck runs, the little bit of drag a trailer...even a small one...what...

Somebody on EO talked once about renting motorcycles.

I think the Sprinter engines (engine only) may be the best small diesel engines ever produced. Its the EPA mandated emissions control systems that have ruined not only the Sprinter diesel engines, but every diesel engine. The 60 series Detroit engines were bulletproof until they were forced to...

Growing pains. Its a "good" problem.

It depends a lot on the engineering behind it. There has been a lot of advancement in materials technology, including metal and/or composites. I see it very possible to build something lighter, stronger and possibly even cheaper.

Actually, it seems to be the opposite to me. If the fsc is based on 15mpg for vans and the older sprinters (like yours) are getting 23+ mpg, they are gaining an unfair advantage. I would support a 15mpg/gas policy if you'll support a 23mpg/diesel policy? Im pretty sure that carriers and...

In Belvidere....musta been a ST Tval load I brought over....paid like one :D
