    Just some sprinter observations

    The MBII code reader was a great purchase...has a feature where the malfunctioning part that sets limp mode is saved for later review, I verified the EGR setting LHM...I can pull over and clear LHM and continue driving normally until conditions set LHM again, saved me in the hilly parts of my...

    Mother's Day gas spike?

No per mile deduction, no per diem unless you're incorporated, then it's 15% tax PLUS your tax rate when you actually bring it home...also deadheading home is not a deduction...

    Mother's Day gas spike?

    My linehaul rate went down and surcharge is almost non existent. I'd ask why but our 15th driver services person suddenly left after less than a year. The only turnover higher than drivers is office staff in trucking

    Sprinter power steering

    Revived thread. I'm getting arm pump from driving my sprinter...can take the hands off the wheel and it drives by itself for about 15 min on the straights...is my rack gone, or could LHM reduce power enough to affect steering?

    Sprinter aux tank

    Confirmed. 21 MPG at 75 mph loaded, last trip 24.5...difference between US and Canada only 40 cents a gallon right now...back burner project, last 4 years been getting 15 mpg at best, so I had no idea of the sprinter, spare gas cans seem better like others said... Also scaled at 5500 on MTO...

Rail and air...good excuse but why on my portion not 100 percent...anyway I don't see what I get paid for a month, saves me from pulling my hair out like the rest of you...im good with their minimum per mile so I...
