    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    Yea but why work twice as hard to accomplish the same goals by making more money for less miles. Just look at your sig line. Sounds hypocritical to me.

    Wasn't planning on going that long before I changed it out. It just happened that way. Next one will be way sooner than 280k.

    I did my first change at 280k miles on my 2012 Sprinter. When Wayne changed it out he said it was still good for a spare.

    EOBR into an older truck?

    Why don't you give Qualcomm a call and find out? I'm pretty sure they would have your answer if not could maybe point you in the right direction.

    Sounds like an expensive repair if they can locate it and hopefully they can reset the countdown. Had a buddy of mine had that problem and the dealership couldn't reset it. Here's hoping yours does a reset.

    Just calculated my numbers for last year and was very surprised at the outcome. They are as follows: 10,000 less miles driven than last year and over $12k+ gross more than previous year with being in service 62.7% of the time. All miles driven (including dh and all miles when not in service)...

    Yea but they will expect you to do it over and over again without much sleep. Not very safety minded.

    Not very safety minded. They will run you into the ground and expect you to do another load with little as sleep as possible and I'm not talking short runs either. Usually Mi to Laredo or Canada to Laredo and then a return trip back to north. Not good my book.

    Usually for straights and tractors. There is freight for cargo vans but it's almost non-existent.
