    Cost Of Equipment Funding

    I've done this once, so I'll go easy...things to think about: -MUST be unlimited miles -you have to do repairs and maintenance payments while you keep up with the truck payments -a "write-off" is not a tax credit...example an individual paying 1000 a month would get a real life tax savings of...

    Tires

    Thanks for the warning, my first set got 200,000 miles (when they had just come out) but they usually "cheapen" a design when it's been out for a while, in my experience

    Cargo Van 1 pa-pallet, 2 pa-pallet 3pa-pallet four...?

    Yes, over thinking a bit. But you will have the bumper damaged fairly often, unless you are standing by the back ready to scream at the forklift driver (you should, every time). Options here are limited to something like a trailer hitch with a step bar or steel bump plate if you don't want that...

    Forgot to mention, in Canada it reversed again, I last filled up with diesel at 0.849 a litre and gas was around .95 Thanks for the banter everyone, for now the best van for me seems to be sitting in my driveway...maybe I'll get some time to hassle a dealer or two today...

    So no point for high roof. I'm 5'11 and so far I haven't figured out how to get an 84" load thru a 74" opening

    Portable Generator deals/for sale? Best a/c unit?

    80% of Kickstarter projects never ship (ok I made that up but it's kinda true)

    There any point to the super high roof? The door height doesn't look any different

    Time will tell on the gas sixes, can't get it thru my head that one would last 500,000 miles... I heard they were good, but my low roof work dried up, trying to stay out of regulated (straight truck) at all costs

    Never that low, so far...my big issue is I like to be one move ahead as far as vans go...i've already turned down a "sprinter" load that would have paid more than I did for the van, but it was 74" high...but what is there to choose from? Everything is dpf/def and worse on mpg

    When is there not a headwind? In Toronto they're still plentiful, as far as the drop in mpg give me yours for a hot run and it'll drop too ;) I doubt I would have seen 15 mpg with a gas transit

    Pretty sad, they haven't improved on the T1N in my opinion, I've got 26 mpg recently on the highway and 20.5 at 70 mph with 2000 lbs...

    Bored, and woke up early...playing with the Sprinter configurator I see the ext is available in a 9990 GVW, exempting me nicely from USDoT..however in Canada 4500 kg is actually 9920 lb seeming to require me to both log and get an annual inspection...the MTO office treats 4500 kg as 10000 lb...

    Ok. I was called from home for a local 20 min run, she seemed annoyed that I got her to repeat it twice. Then I explained it's an hour and a half one way for me to get there...the light bulb went on...

    A LOT of Truckers may fall in these early recommendations for a Sleep Apnea Test

    Ok besides the fact that I meet most of the criteria does anybody know what #4 treatment option is? Who's ok with a hole in the throat, anyone?
