    Ford Full Size Transit

    I think there are close to 100 Mercedes dealers authorized to work on $printer but you can't afford their inflated repair costs. The Ford V6 is easily match for the Dodge V6. I prefer Fords but the Ram has better cargo length (143.7" versus 146" ) and overall height (110" versus 101" ). The...

    Sprinter 2500 vs 3500

    Hmmmm.... I had that exact van configuration and it weighed 6,000 lbs. without me in it! Your reported weight makes no sense.

    Yellow penske trucks

    No, he is not. Penske did not place illegal completed up fitter labels on their trucks. Go check them out at a Penske store. These trucks weigh 7,800 or more EMPTY!!!!!!!!! Add the equipment listed and the driver - those trucks weigh 8,500 lbs.!!!!

    Yellow penske trucks

    I have to call B_LLSH_T on you on several counts! First of all, there is NO WAY your trucks weigh less than 6,500 lbs. outfitted as you state, with a driver in it. IMPOSSIBLE!!! I build trucks and THE ONLY WAY your trucks have a tag that would SUGGEST that you might be allowed to carry 3,500...

    Yellow penske trucks

    NOW I've heard it all!!!! Profiling would require that US Courts have granted old Penske trucks Human Rights! Profiling is about people NOT TRUCKS!!! I laughed so hard I hurt myself!! Next, old Penske TRUCKS will be marching on Washington!!!

    Sprinter Salesmen Worried

    All the Ford heads I know don't state what they either think or know about the biggest Transit. I don't think anyone has a knowledgeable guess there. On the mid-height cargo van with the "long" floor (143.7" )I've heard pretty consistently 21 MPH gas or 26 MPG diesel. That's with about 4,500...

    Yellow penske trucks

    Obviously, these old Penske trucks are very negative to our industry, driving rates down for legal professional carriers and owners. It wouldn't take much money to mount a very serious effort to rid our industry of these bottom feeders. A small web site with a catchy focused name, containing a...

    Sprinter Salesmen Worried

    MB will certainly sell more $printers than that, simply because of brand loyalty from previous owners. MB salesmen may want to look at moving though... :D

    Sprinter Salesmen Worried

    I have heard the power deck does not handle some containers and cargo well. That's why I deleted the power deck from my project.

    Sprinter Salesmen Worried

    I think $0.30, within a penny, will catch it all for an owner who keeps his Transit until its completely used up. $printers are very economical to own/operate as well, until there is trouble anyway.

    Sprinter Salesmen Worried

    Compared to what current domestic work vans sell for, which the Transit replaces, I would suspect the smallest/cheapest version would run just under $30, while the big boy probably will run $38. The Transit will be priced pointed less than the $printer, which will cause significant downward...

    Need help getting a top driver!

    I had more than three years at E-1 as well although I never would have made the connection without help. Danny & Sandra have been awarded top driver status many times at E-1. I agree. I couldn't ask for better drivers. They are happy to drive the XLT10, and will be treated very well by this...

    Need help getting a top driver!

    Great news! With Brian's help (and John's help too), I have contracted with a husband & wife team that seems like an excellent match! Danny & Sandra Giles are running the XLT10 all across America. Their first week is in and they are settling in the truck well. Although I loved driving, this...

    Interesting article on XPO

    I was in Buchanan 3 month ago and it was a ghost town compared to two years ago. All the proof I need!!!

    Number of miles it takes to pay for a Sprinter.

    What do you want to be paid personally during this time? How many months do you want these payments to run?

    Need help getting a top driver!

    Yeah, virtually new and so nice. It's a huge disappointment to realize I cannot drive her! And I went from regular guy to disabled in hours. Life can be so unfair! But I still have a great truck for a great driver. Please help. Thanks!

    Garmin getting retarded

    After stopping for any reason (fuel, food, bathroom,etc) the first instruction my Garmin gives is ALWAYS wrong! It seems to delight in sending me the wrong way out of any parking lot. I must remember where I was going and follow my own reasoning to get back on track. After that, my Garmin is...
