    ??FedEx/Panther PAY??

    This is a touchy subject on here, discussing rates is like top secret government information on here. Everyone is scared to say actual numbers because they think everyone will jump ship to their carrier. :) For a Sprinter/Cargo van on Panther last I checked was .80 cents a mile, Fed Ex I heard...

    Cargo Van When to replace your van

    Replace it immediately if you want to make American wages. Last I checked carriers are now requesting 2015 and newer. Haven't found any carriers that will allow a 06 Sprinter that pay .90-$1.05 a mile. So if your van is not grand fathered in and already on a fleet you're pretty much screwed and...

    Need some thoughts please.

    15 sprinters and you shave ten years off your life with the head ache of no freight or .75 per mile freight, 15 semi's and you'll go broke at about 150k each. Keep in mind most companies that pay American wages and supply the bottom feeders with scrap freight want newer trucks on the road which...

    Opinions on 2006 Sprinter 2500

    The 2015's will drop in value when the 2018 comes out next year and everyone starts trading in. I'll be waiting. :) I gotta get out of this 06. I'm toast after 500-650 miles a day. I wanna be able to do 700-900 mile days with out feeling it as much! I'll need the 15 model to utilize the cross...

    Buying a sprinter van, 2500 vs 3500?

    So you were one of the fortunate ones that didn't have to pay 6000 to the dealer!? What does a independent charge to the do the same fix? Gas option would ruin the sprinter. Mercedes Diesel is hard to beat. Diesel is the kinda fuel you want if the country goes down hill or gets in a crisis...

    Buying a sprinter van, 2500 vs 3500?

    If you don't have the factory offered 700 suspensions seats upgrade I'd say its a waist. The comfort is horrible on my 06. I'm really hoping they can step up in 2018. I want to be able to go 75 mph and get 30 mpg. I want to fatigue less. 650 miles in a day just about kills me and I'm in my 30's...

    How bout new improved fuel economy or rear air ride suspension, they are going to have to step up their game if they want to compete.

    Opinions on 2006 Sprinter 2500

    I'd say its worth about 12,000-13,500. Wouldn't pay much more. Is that the one in Tampa that a dealer is selling?

    This is why you shouldn’t drive slow in the left lane

    Go rally start a no left lane driving slow movement in the state of Virginia. They don't realize that it is actually a passing lane. The police have these people scard with the radar detectors are illegal and everything else they do to create fear amongst the citizens here. Virginia is for the...

    Anybody watch the debate?

    Clinton = old news, old politics, more deceit, more greed, more of the past, a repeat of obama, a repeat of clinton, nothing new nothing fresh country stays the exact same. The corporations will decide this one.

    Buying sprinter vs 10-14k GVWR box truck?

    Wait for 2018 Sprinter to arrive summer of 2017 and order it with suspension seats and air ride. Just heard from the fedx local guys the transits and promasters are having issues. A 04-06 Sprinter is also a good year. I just put 12k on mine in the the last two months.

    Easier to just let them quit right out of orientation rather then having to deal with the headache. Been there done that more then once!

    Drivers Destroy New Truck!!!

    $1000 dollar Escrow from fleet owner to driver? I like the idea... However I've never met a driver who actually had $200-300 start up money in their pockets, so taking $1000 from them would be incomprehensible!
