Thank you Tenn. I am afraid of the repair costs of a class 8 compared to the Durastar/M2. Also, purchase price is much cheaper to get into the smaller trucks. Thanks again. Robert

Thank you Dakota for taking the time to respond. I hope you had a great weekend. Robert

Thank you Greg. Anyone else have any opinions on this? Robert

I am not looking for the "I like Ford over Chevy" type answers, I am asking if you have valid reasons for liking one over the other. All of the trucks I have driven are M2's and Durastar (4000 series) trucks. The M2's were mostly low milage and rattled like crazy and always had something going...

If companies had nothing to hide they would not care. Obviously they know what they did was wrong and now everyone else knows it also. Thats what happens when a company has little to no ethics. Glad to see you got a new job and glad your new company is ok with what you did. Sounds like...

Maybe it is just a misunderstanding and he is just an independent o/o and he has agreements to haul overflow for the 2 carriers. Making the carriers brokers in this case. Robert

I was told by a local dealer that the gasser was a Chrysler engine. Anybody want to chime in on the origin of the motor? Robert

Would it be possible to have a Uhaul type box van with the cabover stoarage and use that top space for the bunk? That would keep your floor open for freight. I am sure it would need to be custom to create a area to walk and crawl up from the cab to the bunk. If Aerocell made something like...

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Fr8 Shaker--I could not agree with you more. I am on the fence on the government part though. Although restaurants have non smoking sections, they many times put them in the back and you have to walk through the smoking section to get there. They also don't keep the maintenance up on the air...

Dabluzman--It worked, you are now free. lol...

I am honest with myself and I don't have to be big enough to take care of myself. If someone attacks me, I will defend myself and he will go to jail where he should be. If you attack anyone other than self defense you should be punished. We are supposed to be civil society and if someone cant...

Its smoother than my fist balled up holding the pack of cigarettes and the lit one they were smoking. lol... The would be a more painful insertion lol...

Freight Chaser, glad you are out and feeling better. I don't like smoke, I wont be around smoke and try to avoid doing business with anyone that smells like smoke. If my waitress, message therapist, nurse or anyone smells like smoke, I ask for the boss and have them replaced with someone that...

Jeff--Thanks for your reply. The truck will be almost empty most of the time. It will mostly be used for advertising and driving about 80 miles a day. It will carry at the most a: Display tent and some boxes of brochures and shirts etc... I will from time to time carry a few flat screens...

Ah, dodge engine, never mind lol... Robert

Thanks guys. I just cant see spending the 5-7k extra for the diesel and its 1.00 more for diesel over regular. Image is very important so I wont keep the truck longer than 100k prob anyway. Thanks. Robert

I just found out that the Sprinter is available with a gas engine. I don't want to go diesel and I will be doing local runs. What kind of mpg is the gas sprinter getting, anyone run one? Thanks. Robert

I am looking at the small N series Isuzu cabovers with a box for local deliveries. Do any of you have any experience with these in the last couple of years? I am most interested in the fuel mileage of the diesel and the gas version. Thank you for your help. Robert

Thank you everyone. That makes sense. It was a nice truck, Panther truck 5000 was the number running team with a very attractive lady at the wheel. They also had lettering on both sides of the truck that said it was a team truck and to look in sleeper for co-driver. I guess thats in case...
