    Sprinter aux tank

    Crap I don't want to start all this again about weight but 5526 is given as the curb most often, with me and nothing else 5800 so 8550-5800=2750 no wonder nobody's interested. Told the carrier I think it can take 3200! What states scale sprinters again? :D

    Sprinter aux tank

    Digging around methinks my estimate of 5300 empty is a tad optimistic. Especially since I'm 262. Might be useful to carry fuel home tho, when empty, I turn and burn if there's no backhaul...even that I might have to rethink, diesels not 90 cents per gallon I've been isolated with the natural...

    Sprinter aux tank

    I'm out $200 or so if it doesn't work. I don't see a difference weight wise, I've been offered a 3200 lb load once this year...I usually go out from home, so it wouldn't be full and I could siphon out the diesel if I had too I guess...i've carried 7 gas cans, saying it's for the generator when I...

    Reefer Trailers buying frenzy

    Thanks for posting numbers on refer freight. I've been curious for a long time. Had to stop listening to Ramsey I don't like the stocks game but the way you did it I agree 100%. Now in Canada bankruptcy erases tax debt . . . if you prove you don't owe but they take it anyway, it's an easy...

    Mercedes sued over emissions (vw over again)

    For the courts I guess. Makes for interesting reading on my weekend off I'm waiting for the transits to drop in price. My Ram Van cng has been certified as an ultra low emissions vehicle in each year it was produced. I like diesel, but propane in Canada and cng in US have usually been half the...

    Mercedes sued over emissions (vw over again)

    I never followed past the headlines, do the owners of the vw's fail emissions and have to park them? Agreed on emissions. One of the first things I'll do is tune out the egr on my 05

    Cargo Van Buying New Van

    If you're good with the flywheel defects, it's a good van. Mind explaining the 20-50 cents off the pump price? Is that a carrier perk?

    So you want to become an Expediter here's some info for you

    If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, go thru the forums with a fine tooth comb. This is unlike anything you've ever done, and if you had all the information you need, you would know why asking about income is a pointless question. G license up to 26000 IIRC, with hydraulic brakes . . . yes...
