Probably the GVWR plays in here. I've hit my gross with an engine taking up 3 feet of the 13 available in my Sprinter. Maybe a 24' box on a single axle is overkill?

You know...as a pure gov hater and skeptic...the CDL would get rid of a LOT of chaff...maybe van drivers would have a chance again Combine that with proper proof of commercial insurance and we'd all be rich :D

You'll get some answers, here's mine Sprinters are great until they break down. They have a nasty habit of confusing themselves and needing very expensive parts, that few mechanics know how to fix properly. Try $3-6000 for 2 def sensors. Most went to Fords which seem ok so far...less went to...

My hearsay from the truck stop: less problems than the V6 meaning those crappy def sensors didn't screw up until about 300,000 miles. Its an easy fix, just ridiculously overpriced

Ok...totally useless to you as it was in a $1600 natural gas van at $1.00 a gallon...81 cents on the dollar to me. After fuel, insurance, and repairs The sprinter I've had since last April...worse than 55c but it was a project van, put more than the $2900 cost into repairs and safety and diesel...

Just ignore us. With the exception of OVM anything US we do has to involve crossing the border, so it's not really the same

Yes. That happens to be the rate. Home cleaning unless something juicy pops, bills be damned (Went OoS at 7am but he can't resist calling me on a good rate)

Here's a question. How will EOBR'S be handled by independents? FMCSA says they're not aware of any available outside of a carrier network...

Happy belated!!! (Major belated lol)

Happy birthday, mod!!!

Before or after tax? Never mind, I'm in a Sprinter that would not compare

So a state (or province) designated plate determines whether the exact same van has to enter the scales or not. Nice

So..as an independent what do I do? A quick search states the fmcsa is aware of no standalone units that are not part of a freight system...buy a qualcomm just for me and pay 40 a month?

Well Ontario plates don't say commercial...they have different coloured lettering...but you can't escape that plate type registering over 6000...i doubt the handy "used primarily for personal transportation" sticker would be believable Nice how informative the signs are..."ALL TRUCKS MUST...

While I'm bored...came across this while learning my big truck rules...I've never stopped but VIRGINIA Weight Inspection Requirement – Permanent Weigh Stations 24VAC20-81-250 Operators of trucks having a registered gross weight in excess of 7,500 pounds are required by law to drive their...

Forgot to post my location...HOME...since Feb 16...the 1 local doesnt count

Oh and newbies, what I'm talking about you need contacts, you'll be on the phone all day every day...just lease to start out, it's a different world when you rely on YOU to get anywhere...and YOU are responsible for any problems...calling dispatch isn't an option when YOU are Dispatch :D Enough...

For a 100 mile radius? Other bonuses are 7-5, 5 days a week and home every night...sounds kinda good from the couch (And put this in the perspective of a 10,000 dollar truck not 100k)

Its in USA now lol. Get used to the "please play again"

Remember I've never been in a straight...but even local reefer work in the GTA pays $2-3000 a week...with the bonus of a physically fit physique from all the driver deliveries
