    Can they manufacture a Sleeper for a Sprinter Box truck that is ultra light weight to comply with DOT regulations that won't exceed the GVW ratings?! :)

    Fatigued Driving

    That 4 to 6am is a tough one for me, other two no problem. 2-4am can be tough but not as bad as that 4-6! Gotta watch what I say here but dispatch can be real pushy sometimes when they don't know what the driver is going through mentally, physically, yes it is important to get the load on time...

    Welcome to June, 2014

    I don't do 5am drops unless I can get there right at 5am and then drop and crash. It screws with my sleep. I do up to 3am or 8am+. :)

    Welcome to June, 2014

    How is business back in Chicago and Detroit, is freight moving there? I may be headed that direction from a painfully long distance :) Might be able to get a snow mobile on board to cover fuel :)

    Canada canada freight?

    Yep and no record. I have crossed in Montreal Toronto and MI last spring, summer over 7-10 times with no hassle. Got search once or twice but never denied entry.

    Too bad we don't have these in USA

    I was wondering if it would be possible to take a Sprinter box truck, and push the wheels back a couple feet then add a sleeper extend frame and push the box back so the wheels are in middle of box. I think you would have to modify the drive shaft which I don't even think is possible on Sprinter...

    Sprinter year

    04-06 more reliable better mpg, 07 and newer are more comfortable I've been told. I think the redesign will hopefully be in 2016

    Canada canada freight?

    You will need shipping papers aka BOL etc to get into Canada I tried to go to BC this weekend on a pleasure trip and it wasn't happening. They discriminate against Sprinters with beds in the back. Searched the truck for a hour, tossed my bed upside down, stuff that was in the front was tossed to...

    Cargo van age

    8 Years is correct (called today). You can get a 2005 on if your recruiter approves. Most likely if it is a clean low mileage Sprinter they will allow it (if you send pictures and get it pre-approved) since they allow weight up to 3000lb on their Sprinters and the extended ceiling is always a...

    Re: Are Any Expedited Carriers Concerned with keeping on Own/Op with current low rate Last I heard when I looked into a straight the fed was paying 2.15 a mile with FSC. and 1.05 a mile for cargo vans. That was a couple years back.

    My monthly operating cost is very cheap... I'm about to sell my Sprinter and get a bigger one. Problem is I have a 140 Sprinter and on with a smaller carrier. In order to be successful I need new carrier and larger truck. I have one other driver right now so the focus is on that truck. We can...

    Should've gotten a Sprinter with Suspension Seats. It's only a $700 upgrade at dealer. Not sure why no one thinks of this when buying one, most don't consider the added comfort on a long haul. To get your hands on a set of these at a junkyard is next to a needle in a haystack.

    OVM we go round and round with this, the only reason I'm running cheap is because I'm on with the wrong carrier. Just wanted to clear that up. Things will return to my .97 rate that I was running in the past. :)
