Great, drivers screwing othe drivers at the fuel island taking their 30 min break, what a bunch of A-holes. If they are tryin to prove a point, then it's lost on me, since the only people their ****ing off are their fellow drivers.

They can have one at this years show, but what good will that do since Ford doesn't expect them to hit the market till sometime next summer. Then again, there could be another delay just like 2013, now the 2014 all because of supply issues. That will leave anyone wanting to purchase in the...

I'm at 300K on my 05 sprinter and it's time to start looking and saving for something new for the next 4 years or so. Sprinters are high dollar to keep up and I'm hope the new vans that both Ford and Dodge put out are not as expensive to upkeep. Heck, the ProMaster has a 18500 mile oil change...

Right now in McKinney, Tx but leaving again tomorrow for Fl same load I did last week. Same money as last week.

Yep, but you cannot go past the 14 hour clock. http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/truck/driver/hos/fmcsa-guide-to-hos.PDF If unexpected adverse driving conditions slow you down, you may drive up to 2 extra hours to complete what could have been driven in normal conditions. This means...

I hate to say this but you gave the scenario that could be torn apart and some of us did just that. It wasn't anything personal. Now, the only major changes to the rules comes down to this 30 minute break and only one 34 per week. If those are real hard to figure out then this industry is in...

Are you going to get the new Dodge for the show or just the Ford and a Sprinter

Was just looking at the MB website for sprinters and it seems that in 2014 the 4cyl will be standard and the V6 will be an option. But will the price be lower for the 4cyl or will the base price before adding options be 43K. Now the big difference between the two vehicles comes down to length...

This was as of May.2013, just find the part where they post the weights. Ram ProMaster - the big van based on the Fiat Ducato

Now this is the gas model I'll look up the diesel one next pecifications Body Style: Cargo Van Vehicle Size: Large Drive Type: FWD Doors: 3 Seating Capacity: 2/2 passengers Engine Block: V Engline Type: Gas Cylinders: 6 Displacement: 3.6 L. Valves: 24 Compression Ratio: 10.2:1 Torque...

What good would that do since the vehicle won't be available till sometime late next year.

4K for the diesel option on top of 37K and other options will bring the van to about 42 to 43K, MB would be at 45 to 47K for an 2014. Dodge max length is like my 2005 sprinter 169 to 160 inches for the ProMaster. Width of the promaster is larger at 73 inches height is better in the ProMaster...

I read between the lines. Now if the day driver took over to go to a truck stop or the pickup area then I blame them for not just stopping where they were till Sunday AM.

At LS as long as it can pass inspection they'll allow the vehicle to lease on with the company. Mine is an 2005 sprinter. Now they want sprinters because they can haul larger freight.

remember, hi partner was on a 10 hour break and would have reset by Sunday morning and he was also the day driver. which would mean the night driver would be reset by Monday morning At 5 AM.

+2, even like the other van driver said, if your tired then stop, I do that in my van because my life is more important then the freight, period

Most here missed this fact, was not out of hours, but willpower and energy very much so, and my team driver was working on completeing a 10 hour break. Since the other driver was on a ten hour break already, then by Sunday morning they could have had one driver with a 34 reset and he could...

To stop the drivers from an 82 hour week, when the rules say 70 hours in week for companies that are open 7 days a week.

Gas 3500 37K sticker price, wonder how much more for the diesel version. Gas or diesel that is the question for me at this time.

Simple, its called a lunch break.
