    Staying warm this winter?

    That would be a miracle if I could win one! I'm planning on having a big west coast load pay for mine that is when I get one. :) For now its me and a good 30 min idle and transfer right over to that sleeping bag and by the time the truck gets cold again which will be about 10 min I should be...

    New Dodge Promaster VAn

    I see that 4 motion sprinters have not hit the market yet... to solve some of these problems. Course that would raise the price another 10K. Sprinter is a 500k+ rig. Transit and Fiat have yet to prove.

    How common is overloading vans and Sprinters?

    The most I generally like hauling in my 06 sprinter is about 2-2500 lbs. I one time did haul a 3300 lb load across Tennessee but most of my loads have been in the 1k range give or take. A buddy of mine said he took over 4k once in his 05 sprinter. If you go much heavier the mudflaps start...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Would it be possible to take sleeper from a wrecked volvo 780 and weld it to a VNL 300 or a VN 430 straight frame truck? I imagine a used sleeper would be a pretty decent deal, I really like the factory sleepers from the 780, seems like plenty of room and really tall. Anyone with a straight...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Seems to be what they did to this 780 here. https://www.expeditersonline.com/expeditetrucks/show.php?id=2318&category=&make=VOLVO&model=&srt=added%20DESC&p=25&location=&submit=Search&page=1 That truck seems to be about 10k overpriced. I think it has been for sale forever. I wonder how much it...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    A VN 670 with sleeper already in place with a d11 powerplant would be awesome but I hear they make a d13 in a 375 hp engine. Only 50 hp more then the d11.. mpg seems it wouldn't be that far off. I doubt you an order a vn 630 or 670 in a straight truck version.

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    That is a lot of miles you put on your truck already, must have had it out to the west coast a few times. I think for expediting all you would need is the d11, they make different horsepower versions of each engine according to the website the lowest is 325hp. What would the average load weight...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Nice those rigs are pricey but that seems to be just how much they cost.. without a sleeper. Do you have any pics of your rig? I take it you have a volvo straight truck...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Anyone looked into these? I think it would be nice is someone was running a newer t270 px6 or hybrid or a volvo VNM64T200. In the end it should be about fuel economy. If anyone is I would like to know more about your MPG and also what is required to convert the volvo over to a expeditor with...

    Just drove through Chatanooga... got a 8am drop in Gainesville GA then over to Atlanta for a load either to Tx Kansas or anything that direction, trying to get home. I can sleep in anything 40 degrees or warmer.. no heat or insulation yet in the sprinter :/

    Had a straight truck been the 4th truck in the line, this thread would be resolved :rolleyes:

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Sounds like you're staying busy... who are you running for on the front range? (sounds like quicksilver possibly?) I might be able to send a few contacts your way if you're looking to stay regional and instate for the time being until you get your sprinter. :)

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Guess if you're a small fleet owner you can position trucks around the country and fly into the cities with the best freight. Cheaper then deadheading with diesel at 4.25 a gal and easy couple hours and you're there!
