    Future Sprinters

    Mine's a 4.6. If yours is a 5.4, you might lose one mpg. Also, drive defensively (especially looking far ahead) so that you're not always on the brakes; also, it might help to shift gears a little bit so that you can stay off your brakes. Lastly, cruise control. Great when it's flat, but in...

    Insurance?

    IIRC, KickStarter is young, so that would make a difference.

    Where to go?

    The 50¢ run? Noob mistake, born of desperation. Nogales? There was a FedEx van there already (talked to her), and my dispatch told me Nogales was pretty dead for them. In all seriousness, isn't the border better for Sprinters than flattops anyway?

    Future Sprinters

    This ain't Nascar. Drive like there's a stinkbomb under the pedals. In other words, be gentle with your van, just like with your girl. They'll both reward you ;)

    Insurance?

    You too, huh? I had a kick butt week with Express Logistics back in January; On Dekk got peeoh'd and let me go. By text message! Unfortunately for me, I can't get a med card because of my right eye, so I'm not good enough for the big name carriers. I like Express a lot, but it is hard toting...

    Sometimes comedy is all we have; the girls got wise to us, so we had to close the Kit Kat Klub :p Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    The Pilot to sleep; spending most of my time at the Starbucks across the highway, because fast internet :cool: Where's the trees? Walmart? Never have made a habit of staying overnight at Walmart, or Lowes, etc. Concerned about getting run off by the po-po at 0300, I guess. To a local Barney, a...

    We tend to get our share of railroad work; that's what brought me out here from Memphis. Union Pacific has a big yard here. Other than that, yup, board work like everyone else... Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    Also how many physical vehicles are here? Joe Blow, who runs with On Dekk, Jung and Prestige all at the same time, counts as three vehicles on the boards. I run with only Express Logistics (aka Express Family), so I am but one lowly van... Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    All, presumably, at the Petro in North Little Rock? I stay in Benton because it's quiet; the Petro and the Pilot across the street in NLR always seem to attract the kind of people who end up dealing with the boys in blue. Out here, when you hear a siren it's usually an ambulance. Sent from my...

    Same here; Benton, Ark since Thursday. Before that, 3 days at the J near Memphis. Benton is 20 miles from Little Rock, and my company says I'm the only van or sprinter in Arkansas. What gives? Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

    They get used to us, and we to them. My wife and I just talked this morning about sharing a shower, when I get home ;) ; can't do it at the house because the floor is weak under the tub. Maybe a trip to the nearest J is in order :cool: Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app
