Just buy a new van, heater and controller are 1500 CDN option...

Ford transit came in a couple thousand less...dual sliding doors, diesel, lots of power upfitter goodies lane departure heated mirrors tow pkg etc. But sprinter was loaded too...on to Promaster Oh and claimed payload of 3640 (9500 GVW 350), MB didn't even mention it Forgot to mention sprinter...

Just completed a sprinter build, $57,890 as I'd like it...8550 GVW blah :p but it had the all important headlamp washing system $43,702 USD Oh ya im busy :D lol

Trying to get TX bound after Tuesday, good to know. At the time I switched, diesel was 4.30 US in Ohio, figure I saved $20,000 a year after my bill went from near 3000 a month to less than 800. Not counting the 3 straight months the pump was on free :cool:

MANY thanks, ntimevan After a quick internet search, the 4000 lb seems to come from the quoted base curb weight of a short low roof 118" WB and some vague language (quote the lightest one's weight and talk up the biggest one's size)

Well 880 litres total should make one hell of a bonfire

So now I know what those "monster size funny looking deer" were that I've seen on my travels

Same difference? :) Mighty hunter I'm not

Looks like RT5 in WNY lol Whole lotta deer burgers...

Dived into an oil prices stock website and the prevailing opinion is - low prices here to stay Doesn't explain why I've seen 4.50 a gallon here (1.19 a litre, CAD$) our silly liberals might have something to do with it

Anybody travelling thru Buffalo / Ft Erie last I checked it was just over 1.00 a gallon at the public station near West Seneca...

Or at least some insider info on the trend of gas prices against natgas... My natgas van with 36 gallons capacity is taking up space. I have two italian Faber 9.1 GGE tanks expiring 2024, replacement cost $4000 ea, used who knows. Everybodys pushing ahead with the natural gas, even here in...

Sure glad I went back in service to help handle this rush of January business, we've gotta beat customers off with a stick. Not

And I went to college for programming. Duh.

Nothing prepares you for what its like when you actually hit the road, I guess...seems like some stress floating around lately...before I hijack this thread any more may I humbly suggest paid access to a collection of all the ban worthy rants as extra site revenue :D

Once I paid off my first and only financed van they lost their leverage...when they complained too much I'd just turn off the phone and do my job

Simple phone call solves all. Apparently the load board needs a reason when you're off more than 7 days and he thinks it looks bad. Back in service (thought I was already???)

Yep further angry texts clarified his position. Although he laid out his expenses; with me paying fuel, insurance, license, tolls, and maintenance I'd swap with him in a heartbeat...i have a feeling he's a frustrated new business owner that forgets the costs of having an independent on the lease...

Pm me details if you like. I just sent a several page long text about what was on my mind to the company owner. Will see what he thought soon enough :D

Always thinking. Just can't seem to justify the extra hassle until HOS is forced on vans or I get a co driver
