    Just something to keep in mind, while I'm reading all the previous posts ... When we talk about "Sprinters" we're talking about different series vans. Different engines & systems ... This guy has a 2016 ... Apologies if I pointed out the obvious ..

    Conceived notions about EPA enforcement in CO & CA are way overstated.

    Cargo Van G3 Transfer Corp. New Driver

    I understand your position and where you're coming from. Here's a few thoughts ... Just because you're offering a service, which you wish to faithfully provide, doesn't necessarily mean there's a market for it. As mentioned the opportunities for expedited freight on the west coast are...

    The guy is currently working for a fleet owner. Being an owner/op is a step in the right direction and can increase his income. Teams and single owner/ops are apples and oranges. The freight opportunities are not equal. Sendit, there will always be naysayers. Do your research, you could be a...

    Great message! This is a bit beyond me ... I had the same thought right after I posted the reply. Not sure why I didn't think of it before. Are there any other engine components that would require the ESP formula? I need to do some more research myself ...

    Understood .... If that's how they operate, they are stooges of the highest degree. Also, I don't believe that's how most handle their business. I could be wrong ..

    Has this guy even stated what he's driving? Sendit safely, are you driving a van, straight ... what exactly? Guido, you accurately describe how non-exclusive companies operate in the marketplace but your assumptions on bidding are incorrect. If I work for 4 companies, they all get the same...

    Cargo Van G3 Transfer Corp. New Driver

    Question: before purchasing the van, setting up the s corp & setting up the website did these thoughts ever come to mind: How will I acquire business? Where will the freight come from? Insurance needs/cost? Van landscape? What are the current market conditions? What advice did you get from...

    This sounds like a very positive turn of events! If I may ask, which shop is doing the install? Is it a shop that works on Sprinters? Like a German Auto kinda place, Mercedes dealer, Dodge dealer ... ? Have you made them aware of the tune to your vehicle? Again keep in mind, I believe the tune...

    I actually like a Patriots from afar & admire their greatness. So many teams have cheated over the years, the Patriots just got caught. This is funny ... https://nypost.com/2019/01/24/10-year-old-proves-tom-brady-is-a-cheater-wins-science-fair/

    Also, I can say with a high degree of certainty they didn't use the correct oil.

    There are steps that perhaps you're not aware of. On my van, the oil & fuel filter need to be changed every 10K. The oil filter housing has 2 rubber washers that must be replaced each time. The fuel filter sensor also has 2 rubber washers .. changed each time. Taking it to dealerships or...

    It's a different series van. Mine is a 2008 NCV3. Sprinter-Source ... lots of reading for ya .. Das Sprinter is not an ordinary diesel. It's very particular. Taking one to jiffy lube is akin to heresy ;)

    Not sure what you mean about dealers "reporting"...? Reporting what to who? I mentioned the insurance company regarding the tow. They might have mileage restrictions as to where you can tow it. Check with them. How much oil is in the van now? My van will tell me exactly how much oil is short...

    You need to find out what the issue is. Mercedes, Freightliner, whoever should be able to run diagnostics on it to figure that out. An hour of diagnostic time should be around $125 or so. You may be at the mercy of your insurance company here; depending on where you can have it towed. If it...
