Another nice drive, to Quebec...just like a foreign country without the border. Funny road signs, speed sign was my favorite....minumum 60 maximum 100...didn't say mph or kmh;) Beautiful drive with all the lakes ( sprinter owners might find this funny, key got stuck in ignition during coffee...

Used to work. They want actual receipts now unless you incorporate and work as employee

Anybody willing to sponsor my US citizenship? No per mile deduction, no per diem unless you're incorporated, then it's 15% tax PLUS your tax rate when you actually bring it home...also deadheading home is not a deduction... To keep it on topic, I'm using GasBuddy at every fill up and check all...

Just wondering...if insurance doesn't cover punitive damages, what's my 2 million for? Freight?

My linehaul rate went down and surcharge is almost non existent. I'd ask why but our 15th driver services person suddenly left after less than a year. The only turnover higher than drivers is office staff in trucking

Had appt so couldn't go in service until evening...driving couch to bed again...spent my time reading Sprinter breakdown stories on the Internet (better than a horror novel!) Here's one of my favorite posts... ********************************************** "my sprinter transmission stuck in...

THATS NOT OKAY! I'm fine on rates right now but anything the US does, Canada usually copies it

Beat you. You must have broke 50 mph ;) MI always gives me great mileage (offset by broken suspension parts)

Revived thread. I'm getting arm pump from driving my sprinter...can take the hands off the wheel and it drives by itself for about 15 min on the straights...is my rack gone, or could LHM reduce power enough to affect steering?

Confirmed. 21 MPG at 75 mph loaded, last trip 24.5...difference between US and Canada only 40 cents a gallon right now...back burner project, last 4 years been getting 15 mpg at best, so I had no idea of the sprinter, spare gas cans seem better like others said... Also scaled at 5500 on MTO...

My carrier explained that the FSC went to other methods of transit in the chain eg. Rail and air...good excuse but why on my portion not 100 percent...anyway I don't see what I get paid for a month, saves me from pulling my hair out like the rest of you...im good with their minimum per mile so I...

Did the math with exchange, price NY vs ontario only 40 cents a gallon (usually over 1 cheaper) they're definitely raising it fast over there

Kind of a recap...lots to do on former plumbers van...been doing Canada shorties (they pay better, what happened to US rates :D) lost whole last week over the botched rear seals, but seems fixed...nice drive from Toronto to Kanata yesterday, went back roads after the 8 am pickup turned into...

Our next family car will be a Benz. If I'm impressed with a cargo van I'll be blown away by an S-class, even 15 years old....3 grand or less here...

Swapping in a post 2007 at 350000 thanks guys :D

Thanks. I'll start working on my reserve fund o_O

Did it give any warning? I don't want to be stuck far from home, my former dodge announced its failures, I just ignored it

No comment on weight. This one I won't have to fill up the passenger seat middle and dashboard with freight. On that subject, I scaled at an actual weigh station, and rounded up to 5500 so I can take 3050 in a long and tall... They fixed it (again) couldn't tell me why it happened, they used a...

Great tip on parts!...hoping to not need gears, took only a squirt out of the bottle to top up, I noticed it quickly...they either forgot the seals or didn't torque the bearing nuts to 369 they told me it took a whole day (no special tools on hand?)

Terse reply. :D thanks for the vote on rearends being good, no experience with these yet . . . I'll continue to slow down just enough for comfort lest I get rear-ended by T.O. drivers. . . rearend was fine before they touched it I just want people to do what they say they are going to been...
