    Title of link says it all

    Very possible. Crapping pants, no. If there's no driver's seat, what's my excuse to get away from the wife?

    FRESH START FEBRUARY

    Be interested to see the price vs a normal car and driver salary. Is it useful beyond the "wow" factor? I dunno. But staying home while I send my van out alone to work for me sounds awesome Assuming the public would be given the opportunity to buy one. If it kills somebody will it's insurance...

    So I posted this in a few places. But I didn't get it - DOT approved a vehicle with NO WAY FOR A HUMAN TO DRIVE No Steering Wheel, No Driver, No Problem: Feds Approve First Ever Truly Driverless Vehicle - TruckersReport.com Think of that while you're getting a ticket for a freaking wet engine...

    Are we out of a job?

    It's getting more interesting. Grizzly and WOM brought up good points, but read this No Steering Wheel, No Driver, No Problem: Feds Approve First Ever Truly Driverless Vehicle - TruckersReport.com There is NO spot for a DRIVER. That's what is new

    Not as stupid as a Canadian that volunteers to help out when the forecast is 1 foot of snow plus. (And he leaves his drivers door window down as he grabs 6 hours sleep) Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    Are we out of a job?

    Yet... Remember I'm a part time local driver. I like my $1000 150 mile days, and a little sweat is probably good for me. A blind lobotomized chimp could drive better than Massachusetts commuters tho. Pretty low bar

    Mercedes Weekender

    I've wanted to do that since 2006, but I was too chicken to cut my roof It was going to be a 4 season sleeper. But homemade, I heard the van flops around from loss of structure I'm sure that one is fine. And, takes a 96" high skid :tearsofjoy:

    It IS a valid repair method - albeit expensive. And you get the bonus of all those new parts (whether needed or not) I'm just a cheap ass that bullies mechanics :p

    FRESH START FEBRUARY

    That's lazy mechanic work. You mean they were trained to start replacing parts from the bottom up until it's fixed. Testing those items would cost a few minutes, replacing everything is easier (and lucrative at their markup) I made myself stop guessing and started buying better tools, like an...

    Model years of promasters/transits to avoid?

    That's an intelligent analysis. This job is a waste of time unless A- you love it or B- you have an "in" to something most people don't. I have both, so it's worth it. But I can count on one hand how many deliveries were worth taking into the USA last year - the rates are simply too low Sent...

    Model years of promasters/transits to avoid?

    If you were me, you'd buy a 2004-2006 sprinter and carry tools. And enjoy years of not breaking down under load. Or being towed. Of course, you aren't me. Buy something and drive. If you buy brand new it could still explode from a defect. IMO just get going and try to steer the ship. I...

    FRESH START FEBRUARY

    Well I set a goal of $6000 this week. So far $5300 so it looks good. Camped out where my company was short drivers in an effort to escape my financial death spiral. Haven't been on in awhile, family issues. Always family issues. Maybe after really working for a week, they'll appreciate me...

    Mapping program

    Just in case you're actually being serious... Google map timing should never be used. It's simply a best guess, and doesn't include all the factors - traffic and weather change in real time, and if you have good internet, so does Google's estimates There's a free app on the play store called...
