There should be some owners in the Indy area. You might consider posting an ad in the classifieds. You are in a prime area for the expediting market. Once you place your ad you will probably get more calls than what you would have expected. Keep reading the posts on here so when you do decide...

First I would look for a company that pays more than $1.15 per loaded mile. You should look as well to expect 100% of the fuel surcharge from the owner if you are paying for the fuel. Keeping that in mind, it should put you closer to .80 per mile with .30 per mile going for fuel, tolls, food...

I agree with Glen. It is the revenue you have to watch, not the miles. We average pretty much the same miles as a team. Too many trips out west do effect that figure with a straight truck or van. Singles generally do about half. Maybe even less with the new HOS. That is probably going to change...

RE: Ford I think you are right. License plates through me. Davekc

RE: Ford anyone doing the sprinter conversions should be able to do these.

If the driver is paying for the maintenance, he is not your driver. You are leasing him the truck. You at that point can't make any other demands. If for example the driver decides not to drive for a month, you would have no say. Secondly, if the driver is maintaining your truck, you would not...

RE: Ford one of those deciding factors might be the maintenance history on it. Since it is from Europe, I will have to do some checking to see how that info can be obtained. Is there a consumer reports in German? I was thinking maybe cheaper, but with limited options on Sprinter I think Terry...

We live in Flagler Beach and according to my parents there were some windows blown out and a few missing shigles ect. Most of the mess was blown sand. A few inches in the pool. What a mess, but more fortunate than the folks on the southwest side of the state. Davekc

"ight place at the right time".......no doubt about it! Davekc

RE: Ford Based on appearance, I think it will give the Sprinter a run for the money. I am sure it will be simular in price, and maybe cheaper. Thanks for the picture! Davekc

All of the above just goes to show that there are many paths to success. The wife and I have been very fortunate before expediting. Even now, the majority of our luck has not come from expediting, but from other business adventures. We do however have a passion for this industry and have been...

RE: Ford That might be interesting if there is any information available. Do you know how long it has been in production in Europe. Sprinter will tighten up their act once some competition is on the corner. It will be interesting to see what happens. This should be of interest to alot of folks...

We run for Panther and they have loads both ways. We live in Flagler Beach FL.

I do not drive for FedEx but the typical o/o arrangement is a 60/40 split. Davekc

I can't remember his name but his truck is on with Panther. I seen it two months ago in Franklin Ky. Davekc

We of course will look forward to it as well. I am going to come hopefully with a clean truck next year. Have to get on the detrioter to fix the truck wash. Davekc
