It's easyer to keep track of fuel usage with a separate tank for your heater.

Crossed with it snowing and the wind picked up went from pucker factor of 6 to 100

I started using Costco and Sam's club for my gas fuel purchases because its is almost always cheaper then i got a planet fitness black card and didn't look back.

The overpriced truckstop.

Snow storm has finally hit Toledo, OH please slow down and make it to a place to park for the night.

Those newbes are going to :censoredsign: themselves when they get that first ticket.

I would think the paperwork for dot stuff because you are becoming the carrier.

I don't miss the bad weather but i do miss the people i would meet out there on the road.

Just remember with your own mc# comes all the insurance to haul that freight and extra paperwork to stay compliant with the feds.

There is a really good sprinter mechanic in toledo,ohio name is wayne rodd I don't have his number but i am sure its been posted here somewhere.

Ok just so you know that sprinter is costly to Repair even if you buy parts online your still going to pay alot. Carry a serpentine belt, belt tensioner, starter and alternator on the van at all times. Euro-parts.com??? sprinterfourm.com europarts has tools for your van like the oil cap...

And what is the pay split? 60/40. 50/50?

Does the truck have a sleeper? Is it in eld compliance? What about break downs out on the road? Does it have a aux power source? Does it have a espar heater? Does it have a ac unit?

If you had caused a crash you and only you would be liable... why because you chose to drive unsafe like that....in my 11 years of driving a cargo van i never ever drove stupid after my first load back in 2007.....why because there is no load worth my life or the life of those i am driving around.

When you can get paid more to flip a burger than a forklift driver or welder then why would you want to drive a semi.....

Van over a straight truck or semi is based a bit on the hours of service...and my old van had a nice custom 10 inch memory foam bed in it along with a espar heater.....but i have seen much more put in a van..it comes down to a balance of comfort over freight volume.

6800 miles in a week i could see a team might do that amount but never a solo driver unless you had back to back runs across the usa.....and you didn't sleep much doing it.

There is a reason there are so many of those promasters sitting......i would go with a ford transit because you can get a long wheelbase which if you set up right you can fit a bunk and 3 skids/pallets in. Plus the transit is a lot cheaper to do maintenance on than a sprinter or promaster.

Good luck with that.

Us 24 is now open to west bound fort Wayne, ind with out the fun detour.
