RE: Ford Ford owns Jaguar which is British,i think that's were the powertrain comes from,unless it's part Volvo is involved or there's a International plant over there.

RE: Ford If it has the ford [International] drivetrain it will be worth the extra money,i am a bit concerned about the frame,if it's unibody like the sprinter the 5.4 or 6.0 diesel my twist it like a pretzel.I hope there not using a Jaguar engine in it over there,cause you'll have the same...

RE: Ford Thanks for the post Lawrence,6.0 diesel or 5.4 gas i think ford might get my money.

I agree,a little luck never hurt either.I sometimes think you can sum up expediting as being in the right place at the right time;)

RE: Ford Right on davekc,the parts are still outta sight and that's if you can find them,[sprinter] service is another issue.I think if Ford or Gm has a van you can stand up in along with the diesel,it will help bring down the price of the Sprinter or at least get some after market companys...

Hi,there are many theards on this topic so i will try to cover the basics 60-40 split driver get's 60 he or she pays fuel and tolls.You can write up a contract with a driver any way you two want that's just one example.The driver you get will have the biggest impact on your profit,so choose well...

I don't mean to be crude,it's a joke and my way of saying they should put there talk into action.Lead,Follow,Or Get The Heck Outta The Way.Tom needs a driver,Ateam is a driver,they seem to share the same business mantra or model,or what ever the word is nowadays.Maybe they can form a marketing...

I think ATEAM and Tom need to get a room.:* :)

In chicagoland the heights are always off cause when they repave the roads they don't change the signs,also the snow can pile up and change the height.

The only zero percent down your gonna find will be on a cargo van,ford has zero down with no interest for 36 months and 1.9 for the last two years of the loan,with good credit of course.

I would think you could get a load to that ford plant in st paul,i have a van and get up there about every 3 months.The c or d unit should get you more freight so your have a better chance of a load.

The carriers will tell you no,and from there end of it that's true cause they only go back 7 or 10 years.If the carrier requires you to apply for your cdrp or fast card it might be,at the expo i talked to Deborah Dent [customs help] she said there's a program in the works to address this issue i...

I think DaveKC is right on,my knowledge is limited but ya my want to ask if there is forced dispatch,how long can you go out of service or take 3-4 days off [at home] what do you pay? qc,insurance,escrow.

I think that's one of the presidents company's,i am you will get a real good deal from him.

I thought i didn't send the last two threads,sorry about the overkill.I have my CDRP card,enjoy Canada ya can't beat the Swiss Chalet,and Tim Hortons.The driver i had who quit,happend a little over a year ago so the carriers my have made some changes.

The issue is not with Canada it's with the carrier.

I do you know who carries those brands? i found a dealer that has them for 28 dollars,i have calles napa,carqest,walmart,pepboys,and jc whitney they have part numbers but no way to order the filters.I don't like to buy first year engines,and the dealers even told me they have had some sensor...

I am considering one,however called around and the only way to get a oil filer or air is at a ford dealer.The oil is 32 dollars and they can't find the air,i didn't even ask about the fuel.I was wondering if ford is the only place to get these items,i know if i wait a year everybody should stock...

I agree with you RobA,my issue is not with Canada it's with the carriers saying seven years is acceptable,then after your CDRP card is rejected cause of that incident in 1976 they say you can't work for them.

I agree with you rob,what's unfair is the carrier saying if your background is clear for 7 years there shouldn't be a problem,so you sign on apply for your CDRP card and your rejected because of an incident that happend in 1976 which Canada has every right to do.The carrier terminates the driver...
