    Seems to good to be true ...

    Both OVM .. no difference. I computed I would save roughly $150.00 a month in fuel costs ... And who takes showers anyway! :D (Maybe some other expediter would take mercy and swipe their card!)

    Advice?

    Well, (and I know this controversial), I never paid any cash, (down payment), toward the purchase of a vehicle. I prefered to work on THEIR money, (financing agency), not mine. But I may be an exception because of my very high credit score. Interest was usually in the 10% range, and I used...

    Seems to good to be true ...

    ... Anyone tried this? Marathon Visa card offers .25 a gallon rebate, (they already beat the truckstop prices by a wide margin.) Rules are: Spend $1,000 on your card in a month, get .25 a gallon rebate. The purchases can be made anywhere, the rebate only applies to the gallons...

    Advice?

    First .... why not discuss this with your owner? He/she certainly knows all that it takes. As for costs associated with ownership, YOU want your own plates, ins, etc. If you are using "company" plates, or insurance, what happens if you choose to switch carriers? FSC depends on the lease...

    starting to drive for fleet owner with cargo vans!

    It might actually be a good ad, but it sure is poorly worded .... I kinda took away, "We can push our drivers in the vans harder than regular drivers" .... or something to that affect.

    SMS Safety Measurement System

    I was refering to the fleet size, with "Fedex re-branding" ( a humor line form an old thread) .... I seriously doubt the numbers change much anyway .... folks drop off all the time and are replaced. (Though not at a rate like other carriers) Trust me, I know about the one year rule .. it...

    SMS Safety Measurement System

    I noticed that LEAM is well below requirements also, and we have about 250 units listed. (Will be interesting to see if the "re-branding of Fedex" will affect those numbers) :D Indiana and Michigan seemed to be the hotspots for our activity also. Most seemed to be minor speed violations...

    Who has the best rates for insurance on a sprinter?

    Rates may not be the determing factor ... the weight might be though. I have heard folks mention CIS, (who advertises here). You may wish to call them.

    Stay away from Nations Express !!!

    So... you think the CEO of Nations has absoluetly nothing to do but call you? Patience is something you learn in this business. And, it appears your complaint is with the OWNER, not Nation's. How many times have we seen this play out, where the carrier is somehow respinsible for the...
