    Jim Robinson Declares War on Washington

    The reply above shows such a degree of political naivete that one wonders how we could have ever possibly won the Cold War, considering that the statement comes from a (supposed) former member of the (so-called) "intelligence" community .... Ya wonder, do ya ? .... Really ? No idea, eh ...

    cargo van pay?

    I'm not sure that I see it exactly the same way .... service is certainly important - no doubt about it - without good service you are dead ...... but price is important as well - particularly in these times, in this economic climate. I think it's always a question of value .... which is the...

    cargo van pay?

    BWAHAHA !!! You're kidding right OVM ? ..... ya jus' gotta be .... :rolleyes: There is absolutely a good reason for it - well actually, two: 1. First and foremost: Competition 2. Secondly: Owners/Drivers that are stupid enough to run for that amount. Bzzzzt - wrong target - and here's...

    cargo van pay?

    Correct ..... You can ask a dozen different drivers at a dozen different companies and get a dozen different answers ... but by and large, what determines ones success or failure in any endeavor in Life is what one does (or fails to do) ..... not what someone else does. That's not to say that...

    cargo van pay?

    I would agree - the most relevant part part of the question you ask Guido, might be the "who" rather than the "what company" - all companies are somewhat different, as well as somewhat the same .... usually the largest factor one has under their control and can actually do something about is...

    cargo van pay?

    That's true ..... the part about the kitty drivers I mean :rolleyes: .... I personally have three friends that are leased on with 'em (Sprinters) .... we share info about our respective loads on an informal basis .... all three of them are doing decent (at times pretty well actually) from what I...

    Who do you believe??

    Not that I necessarily believe or agree one or the other, but you really might want might to dig a little deeper into who Mort Zuckerman is .... Although I'm sure that he is well respected by those he rubs elbows with (a good first place to start looking to understand who he is) ..... and...

    Any thoughts on this?

    Ok, I'll bite an give ya an answer: Those who would be willing, or even eager, to enter into such an arrangement are basically criminal As DannyD so rightly points out, all you have to do is think about it a little bit: Those who it would appeal to are looking to get "something" (from...

    Clean, economical and powerful: Sprinters

    Yes - but I'm not so sure that is the case with the '07's and later. With the '06's and earlier - based on what I saw on my UOA's even before I put the bypass filter on - I wouldn't have any problem with going with 20K OCI's (using M1 0w40) - the oil still had lots of life left in it, at 15K...

    Clean, economical and powerful: Sprinters

    Yeah .... don't have to replace them too often ..... :rolleyes: Based on the UOA's I've seen on '07's and later, 15K - without a bypass filter - would probably be about the limit, anything over 10K and you are pushing it .... the recommended interval is 10K.

    Clean, economical and powerful: Sprinters

    Remove the contaminates with bypass filtration and you should be able to extend the drain interval :D Nah, ya don't ..... but there could be an upside if ya are .... :D

    Clean, economical and powerful: Sprinters

    AFAIK, Mobil 1 0w40 European Car Formula is not approved for the '07 and later V-6 Sprinters. Given the higher cost of the Mobil ESP oil (although cheaper at a Benz dealer I believe), this is a truly a case where bypass oil filtration would make sense. Just doubling the drain interval...
