I know the numbers would be all over the map but I'd love to see cost of operating for a new Sprinter, Cargo Max & Extended Express (which I would add a tall turtle top to). I sooooo want to take that next step but need to pay off some other stuff first. Per mile all-in cost (no ins) on a...

That extra 8.57% gets me LOTS of hugs, kisses and play time with my family. Well worth it TO ME. We are all VERY different in our personal, financial and family needs. Out 3-5 days at a clip works for "The Freeman Clan".

WAIT!!! I told you I wasn't a math major!! Pulled "new tires" mileage and not odometer miles. Loaded per mile ave $1.282. Total DH 28.57%. I knew 17% couldn't be right. Net revenue per mile $.916. Sorry, I tried to pull the numbers too quickly.

Nice!!! My van wouldn't do 27 MPG even if I were hauling helium balloons downhill!!! LOL!!

Yeah, my total deadhead average % is ridiculous. I dont have my early numbers but since 8/6/12 its 17%. I assume thats really high. But with kids @ 5 & 7 years old and wife that wants me there more, it works. The GREAT weeks offset the crappy weeks. But the "shorty loads" really boost my per...

You have me there. But my wife and kids will NOT allow me to be out over the weekend. Regardless if where. I live in Dayton, OH and deadhead home every Friday. Sometimes I have a "drop Monday" on board and go home, but usually just deadhead. I guess my longest deadhead home was once from...

Ok, leave it. Fine. LOL!!

Moderator, please delete #40. I apparently don't know how. And I'm not interested in getting deeper in this subject. I apologize for taking it that far.

On second thought, OVM, you're right. I'll delete my last post. I have not consistently generated that revenue and miles. And I should get my odometer checked. Somehow since buying it on 8/6/12 it has racked up 113,500 more miles. Although, I do deadhead home more than anyone on here. My bad, dude.

Waiting for my load to be pulled. Vandalia, OH to Jackson, MI. Trying to get up there in a "freight stream". Well rested (home all weekend) and don't want to waste it!!!

Wow, ntime is feelin' scrappy this morning!! LOL!!

Stop pointing fingers, Xiggi!! LOL!!

I figured about $125-$140 or so.

Ok, cool. With about .33 mpg saved that would add up. This week I only did about 2500 miles. Last week was about 4000 and the week before was closer to 4500 miles. I've had some big weeks lately. So at 3500 miles, $3.50 per gallon, 17.0 to 17.33 mpg move, I'd save $14 per week. I like that...

1 mile per gallon savings. MPG move from 17 to 18 MPG. 2500 miles per week. $3.50 per gallon. What, did I move a decimal point too far over?!?! LOL!!! I'm NO math major.

I'd do any $10 solution if it would feed active locations direct to Sylectus. We're Manual Virtual Fleet and I haven't checked what all is accepted.

There are small "black box" solutions. One that comes to mind is http://www.xora.com/ They have (or had) various inexpensive solutions, back when I used them.

Great!! Congrats!

At home doze the weekend. But booked on a Dayton, OH (area) to Jackson, MI for Monday morning.

Good to know. I'll bid it but ill add DH money to get back out.
