    Ford Transit adds 1100 jobs

    The Transit body probably won't be wide enough to accommodate dual rear wheels so that will mean wider wheel boxes and less than 48" clearance. With a 9950 GVWR and factoring in almost 200 pounds for two extra tires and the larger rims, the Transit DRW will only gain the driver about 250...

    The few BR units I have seen have been Sprinters. I talked with a woman a few years ago with one. The freight was high paying with lots of deadhead and the loads were few and far between.
