    Sprinter/CV

    Most of the time there are about 75 sprinters/cv in service and only about 10 of them loaded. You be the judge.

    Red, you are partially correct about diesel engines, but in an espar heater the fuel doesnt ignite because of compression.

    Made it to St. Paul safe and sound, with 6 hours to spare. Now it is time to hit the hey until they open. Laredo is soooo appealing right now.

    5 Owner Operator Mistakes to Avoid

    Have at least 6 months of expenses, meaning that if you dont generate a penny in 6 months, you still have money to buy food, keep your lights on, pay the mortgage, pay the car payment, pay the payment on the 3 credit cards that you maxed out, etc. As you see, this number varies greatly between...

    2015 ford transit

    Turtle is correct. .45 a gallon discount is the highest I have seen, and it varies by state, season, and fuel prices. When the pump price is higher, the discounts are higher also.

    2015 ford transit

    Who mentioned markup is the closest to the truth. Why do you think that the big companies like Landstar and Mercer and others get 45cents or more discount on every gallon of diesel they buy? I am pretty sure that those truckstops don't loose money selling it at that discounted price. But the...

    Next Gen Mercedes Sprinter to Be Built in North America

    Gotta find a way to make them cheaper. I would like to believe that it will be built in the US, but more than likely it will be Mexico.

    Bill, back in my beginning days of expediting I tried to layover there, but left shortly after. I wouldn't sleep there if I got paid to do it. If you insist to stay at a truck stop, then go to the TA in Antioch, I24 exit 62 I believe. But I usually stay at Walmart, last week I was at one about 8...

    it's october where are you at!

    I wish that was the case. Every time I stay home more than a couple of days I end up doing some projects that cost me lots of money. Last week I was oos and ended up spending a bit shy of $3000 fixing my roof. [emoji37]

    Servicing vans from a truck dock

    I delivered once to a place that didnt have a ramp, but they had a pair of z shaped forks that they just hooked to the regular fork lift. These forks came down about 2 feet lower than the regular forks if I remember correctly. So, they picked up the pallet from my Sprinter from a regular dock...

    Sprinter glow plugs........Gotta share this.

    Re: Sprinter glow plugs........Removal Solution! I replaced 3 glow plugs so far. I also modified the module and installed outside fuses, so I only have to replace a fuse when a glow plug shorts. Plus I know which glow plug went just by looking at the fuses. I did this a long time ago, before...
