Ouch....The difference a state makes...My plate is commercial @10,000lbs for $72.00

In SD they register at 2,000 increments Mine is 10,000lbs instead of 8,000 lbs. If I hadda went for the 8,000 and weighed out at my legal GVW of 8550 I'd still be overweight and subject to fine. Its a weird world out there.

I like my sprinter just like the guy likes his big class 8 KW or Pete as a straight truck. Doesn't get him more pay than the FL70 guy, but its what he / she is proud of. Yeah I like that comparison!!

I guess my point was IF I owned 5 vans and I paid the fuel and gave them a Frequent fueling card the accumalated credots I'd use to offset the oil changes.

Tallcal.....ok roasted owl crack was in bad taste...I apologize. BTW...I've never been to California. Hope to get out there some day and see for myslf what all goes on out there! And as a Canuck I ve never been to Slave Lake either!

Ok.I just got my Frequent fueler statement and I made a whole $8.00 in a month. Now I heard theres owners that fuel only at the J and have the card for thier drivers to earn showers. BUT IF a C or D used only 3,000 gallons a month he'd get $30.00 credit / month and IF that owner had 10 trucks...

Gentlemen please!!!! Boy all you can see is the business and more business!!! Your so vehimently rejectimg the Sprinters worth so strongly!! And just what value number do we put on the comfort portion of this debate? After almost 4 years in a tuna can and working sooo hard to be successful...

Ok Talcal which statement were you referring to? The charred owl....or why don't they have some kind of system to deal with the brush and dead lumber?....I am quite sure they pay alot of taxes. And I DID say..i feel badly for the people that live there.... I don't see your objections I...

Does anyone know what, if any is the legal luminums for a headlight? They sure are getting real bright in oncoming traffic.

FACT: I'll gladly show you the BOL's that plainly indicate the shipment was originally going to a substandard carrier, but due to difficulties with that carrier, a critical shipment was placed into my van. I always ask the shipping clerk why the BOL has another carriers name listed. More often...

>The Cavaliers overachieved this year...they didn't belong in >the finals, it's just that nobody told them . A few more >pieces to the puzzle and they'll go all the way. Remember the Pistons a few years back...all kids, no playoff experience shouldn't have been in the big game and they took...

You'll notice it's the owners not taking the overweights more then drivers..what do they care?...a loads a load? right? They don't have to fix that slipping tranny or replace that blown engine or replace them springs and shocks and on and on....an extra .05 cents a mile is not going to reverse...

Rock...thats metric ya know...eh???;)

Fastrod..thank for those numbers..even though they are completely useless as most carriers only use numbers as a guidline not reality. I can only hual 2300 roughly and E-1 has me registered at that... Bolts I find outrageously high 3500 lbs???? That would make the empty ticket at 5050...

Well David....I don't know who your reference is for load totals but since your using the .70 It's got to be an E-1 as thats there NLM rate for cargo vans. And yes I've taken them. I am at a loss to WHY your comparing anyhow? The Sprinter is just a cargo van that happens to be able to take on...

One thing I've learned from living in South Dakota....Its the deer you DON'T see that gets ya!! Instead of watching the one crossing look to the side and see the others!!!

In this day and age of sue this and sue that. I assuming we'd be liable somewhere along the line. Overweight is just that overweight!!! If one takes a load of greater capacity then it's rated for, the flood gates would be opened.

Recent adventure: Was supposed to pick up 4 bins for about 2200 lbs when got there they had 5 ready for 2900 lbs. I said do not put on the 5th one I'll take the 4 that I was dispatched on. Shipper said he paid for the whole van. E-1 asked why I wouldn't take it when I had room and said alot of...

I get 22-24 mpgs you do the math....the moves worth it. But I don't think Bucyrus would be necesary...Beaverdams would do fine as a jumping point.

I think the C units have taken the biggest hit with the Sprinter then CV's. NLM loads us up 6 of that double stacked, 8 of those. I don't care for that much.
