Other than being asked for gas money by guys driving Cadillacs, I've never been bothered, and I sleep with the windows down. Now the police in Willoughby Ohio "the courtesy city" thats another story... I say buy. And buy a gun too. Then you're covered

Don't know why you guys have to plug in. My last few vans started fine down to -40's and ive never plugged in. 2000 cold cranking amps...i can leave this sprinter for a couple weeks and it fires right up... Turned down a Laredo, Christmas and medical appts...Laredo's not going anywhere

Been home. I have an excuse after falling off the roof putting up lights :D

You have to post a link. So far this is what my research has come up with

Hey I like it. Of course I like a 1982 Ford Fairmont too. And Dodge Omnis

New design, dpf is on engine not pipe :eek:

One day there will be an Uber style revolution in trucking, and the practice of flipping a shipment through multiple brokers / carriers will disappear. When I'm updating 3 companies PLUS my own carrier on my location, I have a pretty good idea where the money went with each taking 20% (Edit...

So...the "old" 4 cyl is being discontinued for a new 4 cyl design and I see the dpf and such is directly part of the engine, not the exhaust pipe...dare I hope they fixed it? Anybody with some inside info, give it up! Link to some tehnical motor introduction info, haven't absorbed it yet myself...

If you're ready start calling. Don't put the phone down till you've got a load confirmation from someone. Rinse and repeat Make sure you've got a good bluetooth and unlimited phone plan...good luck, you're doing ALL the work, but keeping 100% for the extra trouble

Interesting discussion...wonder what it will take to get the rates up again if the economy does well in the near future...will there be enough to bring on a shortage of cargo vans? The only way I see the shippers coughing up extra is when the freight starts sitting on the dock...

Sign me up! I'll just take cargo van loads, no worries about dock high... (Edit: sprinter towed on flatbed, for pickup and delivery lol)

Without at least being on Sylectus this might be a difficult go of it...i'd start with a local internet search of brokers and freight companies...start calling...and be prepared to start with the loads they don't want first (meaning cheap) have your paperwork and proof of cargo insurance ready

We quote all in, as it rises above the 2.50 range for diesel (haven't paid that but its everywhere) I think we have to adjust the business model here I'm definitely making better money but per miles basis, no...just more miles and very little deadhead What time period are we talking? If I go...

4 inches here in Ontario, probably the biggest this winter on my side of the lake Foot swollen. Just doing some locals/10 hour max runs till after Christmas BTW no issues with SNOW tires on the sprinter so far...

That was my last run. Won at 2400 showed up was 3200...but net weight 1600? 4 metal bins I shifted by hand, not even sure was 1600

The two stooges strike again. 10 am pickup yes...on the 16th. I probably should read past the first line sometimes Nope

While you guys were sleeping...shorty to get me home. Went to work Tues night and done Thurs afternoon :D

HOTELS!?! You must be getting decent loads already. I'm under 2 sleeping bags and a blanket and it's - 14, just like the last 10 winters You're not from the snowy regions are you? ;)

Tried that too. Ended up bringing down rates because if you did it once they'd expect it from now on Tknight...don't know what to say...i do know anything that pays gets done by their trucks, anything that doesn't gets offered to you and me, and the only things that pay well for you and me are...

Happy birthday!
