No I like it! (But I'm easily amused)

Snowflakes and candy canes! (At least on the browser)

I don't know whether to run the Espar power source to my deep cycles or just leave them all connected...it risks running the starter battery down but it's zero effort because they're already wired to charge from the starter battery...anybody know the draw on the espar / coolant fan/ coolant...

Maybe time to rethink that? :D I use a 12v Dometic. overnight wouldn't kill a battery...been there done that with thermoelectric...costly tho

You don't plug in to the deep cycles?

I'm all over the Promaster 3500 diesels, it's a 2003-2006 sprinter with cheaper parts. When to replace? My system is when a whole new van is cheaper than fixing like a blown motor for example I've got a 2005 and I'm running as much as I want, until that changes, banking a down...

I've heard 200,000 miles is a pretty accurate figure

I'm looking right now for the website that lists the average per mile paid by the customer...last time I looked it was 4.30... all I can find is what we're running for so far...

Gee I don't know who would break down in west tx...

Sure...but should they make a dollar a mile while I make 70 cents and pay fuel maintenance insurance tolls vehicle cost plates etc? After seeing the inside rates, it's pretty disgusting IMO I'm good with giving away 30% for them to handle all the paperwork and phone calls but take any more...

Base rate...too complicated...we get whatever we can out of every load and I get proof of what was charged Had enough of a carrier collecting more than I make off a run

My last company was 50% unpaid deadhead. They had their own customers which paid well, but no paid deadhead and they didn't do back hauls very often. I lasted 4 months there after switching to a diesel sprinter, and that's staying too long!

You guys have me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. No payments, 2005 van, all the miles I want at rates you're discussing and above...and no he stopped hiring for now :p Now to convince the wife to let me work more than 3 days a week....

Exactly plenty if you're either in LA or Toledo ;)

Happy birthday!!!

I know someone directly with a 2015 sprinter that's spent 30,000 over 2 years in repairs and maintenance. Pick your poison

Just saw this thread. Lost power steering in my E350 at about 500,000 miles, replaced with Lucas and no more problems until I scrapped the van at 1,000,000 plus (not for steering). Useful to limp home with a blown differential as well

Free WiFi won't work, except maybe McDonalds. It's too slow I'm afraid...

Need a combination like and bummer smiley for xmudman

Unloaded and home. 4024 loaded miles (with 57 and 14 miles deadhead) a little better than my average week :p Shower and bed, I'm out
