I have talked to and and have seen several C/Vans based in Michigan leased on with Fed Ex. I guess they are putting them on.

Good job Rocketman with the numbers. It's always a good practice to use the kiss method. Keep it simple stupid.:rolleyes:

It's to easy to change a fuel pump in a GM, your friend just liked going to Chevy to have it changed. I have been shopping for new C/Vans for the past 6 months. There are no new $38k Sprinter vans available at least with any options. A cargo Max or Ultra Maxx has the same 14' loading space...

Good numbers and I think you can lower the maintenance a bit to less than a nickel a mile for a Chevy. Mine has never been over that. Depending on how you do your tax's you can get around 52c mile deduction from the IRS. I'll have to look at mine something like that. I like a Diesel but...

Freight must be slow!!:D:D

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh my That is funny!:D:D

The only one I know that runs CA and WA is Fed Ex. That's straights and tractors don't know about C/Vans.

That's a good thing starting spot. I was a CDL instructor for our company way back when they first came out. Myself and 5 other drivers were designated trainers. One thing we taught on the pre-trip was touch everything you can when inspecting. Put on a pair of gloves at your starting point...

Please wake up little C/Van, just one more load and you can rest.:rolleyes:

You know when those Sprinters come off the boat in S.C they are in a box on top of the frame. They then run down the assembly line where they used to build fire trucks. I would check to make sure they connected the ground wire cables to the frame. That one cable can reek havoc on an...

Oh yeh those were the days. I'll bet that old GMC has a screeming 8V-71 with back port manifolds and N-70 injectors and the timing been advanced a point. I'm getting carried away. Old Kysor A/C on the top was an ad on they weren't out when that truck was built.

Sometimes it's the ease of loading at a tight place and same unloading. But that would be somewhat rare. The only thing different from the straight truck is the 10mpg average compared to the 6-7 in a rig and the price of a license plate. Maybe insurance as well. But then again if your...

Some of the reply's on here are border line funny, but this one is hilarious. :D

Hey Bob and Linda. Still enjoying your new rig?? Something you said about taking more time to get your truck producing income. I know what you mean. It's a tough decision to make one type from another, usage vs. options of comfort and all. Then when you make up your mind you still have to...

Oh I want that truck.:D

Thanks. Just exploring my options. I'm looking forward to the Expo and getting a lot of info that normally is a task to find.

Maybe one of you Sprinter owners can tell me if Sprinter has an Extended Warranty program like other trucks?? If so I haven't heard of anyone on here ever having one.

I have not been to Laredo lately but my driver has. Something I did see and has been on my mind, when I was last there I saw 3 C/Vans parked in the back with no lettering. Pretty beat up rigs also. Anyway the 3 drivers were inside all speaking Spanish. I thought it was a little wild the way...

I can see it now. 70c a mile and hurry back I have another for you.:rolleyes:

I thought so, I run a 10 model with a 3.73 gear, get close to the same thing. My driver loves it.
