    Leaving the truck for a van.

    You guys are arguing over two vehicles that both suck! :) If the sprinter never came out they wouldn't even exist.

    Leaving the truck for a van.

    What part of it depresses you?? I always wanted to go from a Sprinter to a straight but can't afford to buy one cash and payments aren't for me. Are you driving for a fleet owner or do you own the truck? If I don't own it I won't drive it, that is my general rule of thumb.

    Cargo Van

    Sprinters will come and go, general rule of thumb is to stay i35 and over. We used to run nationwide but now we stay i25 and over to the east. The determined and those willing to keep themselves in good freight area will do ok. I have two sprinters. I know I'm not going to get rich but at the...
