I would say they'd be good for a Sprinter because of the low idle....city driving the operating temp takes a dive, highway is ok. But you stop at a ship/rec the temp drops like a rock.

Thats wasn't nice... No we are going to TRY and have a Hall of Fame. Someone who has been instrumental and outstanding in the promotion of this profession. Oh wait a minute...lets do like real truckers do and have a pissing contest in the back lot and make him trucker of the year....Doh

I've logged before and logging doesn't bother me. BUT my personal preference is to stay in a Sprinter. Unbelievably we do well in our van. You might question, define "doing well"? Well to us bills are paid, money in the bank, able to take time off whenever we want and go where we want. Show me...

Geo...You have a good list now...you should go ahead and start the voting...and when people see this is a serious subject, there might be more participation. :)

My 99 Dodge van (pre-Sprinter) came with LTX's as well....2 inches of snow on a slight upgrade it just pushed the snow ahead of them...garbage BUT good summer tire. For those of you Sprinter drivers that go into Canada..thinking of Turtle You may not have this link...

We are a team in a Sprinter with Express 1 and still doing ok during this period....I said ok not great, terrific nor busy...just ok.

I figure from I 80 up 294 to 290 to 90 thru to S. Beloit..the transponder saves about a half hour of time...to those solo straights this is a good savings of time on the old log book.

As much as my wife and I team in a Sprinter..I'd have to agree about staying away from them (Sprinters)and a van....it's a struggle these days at best.

Ad plug here...Belle Tire in Michigan free valves stems, free balance, free nitrogen. with purchase of course.

Being the first 5 years with a Canadian carrier we did a lot of drop and run back to the border...when we came to the U.S. side and a new carrier I was amazed at the difference. Had to learn all over again. My phrase is "drop and stop" It was a hard concept at first...from "drop and run" Now we...

As Turtle said they are interchangeable...you get the discounts with both passes and you can get online statements. A lot easier then counting up 762 toll receipts! :)

Bob...Sorry to hear about your job loss...Its good to see you joined here and are reading about what we really do and how. Theres alot more to this then just driving from point to point. I lost my very good paying job back in 83 when Firestone closed most of the plants in N/A.. all we got was...

Yes, there is some p/t's and semi/ret. that do need the money and take our business seriously and thats fine BUT the ones that are just putzing around that have no clue as to the concerns of our profession. I would think if one wanted to see the country and have no investment they would...

I don't know how unemployment works down here but across the border if you receive a cash settlement of any kind the UIC figures that into weekly pays and you don't get a payment till your moneys gone.

I stand by my statement.... P/T and the semi retired only suit the carriers to flood the market with too many trucks because they have a second source of income and 1 trip a week they can live on. Yes theres some posters on here that have a military pension and thats not alot from what I...

Buckeye...I can live with that! :) Greg..The direction the country is going now...Whats the future at this rate? Casting your vote seems not to get attention, protests, call-ins seem to have no ears. Whats it going to take to change or put the "We The People" back into this country. Are we...

fastrod ya might be right....the p/t's and s/retired usually have some sort of pension or other income....as opposed to those who rely solely on expedite income. I thinks the ones that are staying out and living load to load will be done in.

We need a serious shakeout...rid the biz of the part-timers and semi-retired.
