Running 5w30 229.5 approved synthetic for the winter in 2006 Sprinter.

Not a expedite van but this guy did a nice job with some premium materials. I've also heard that battery depot uses coroplast. Check page 6 for the photos of the materials used. Blue Adventure Van - Sprinter-Forum

Re: Affordable knowledgeable Sprinter Repair Service Mechanic in Nashville or Atlanta Has anyone tried this place? They say they work on sprinters. Got a can't drive over 40 MPH problem. Probably linked to LHM or rear abs issue on a 2006. Ray's Import Specialists | Ray's Import Specialists...

Diesel 2.30 at TA w/ COMDATA Denver CO

Pay CASH like 95% of the fleet owners on here ;)

Yeah hard to beat them $2.43 a gal for diesel with comdata discount at TA. Saw 2.99 at a shell today.

Depends on the carrier and what your expectations are as to how much money you need to make. If you're ok with 400-600 a week after fuel then it would work. If you need more then it would be best to get your own truck. If you don't have the funds then working for someone is the way to go until...

Not really a fleet owner but I own two sprinters. I pay the driver 60 percent after expenses. So therefore I eat/cover 40%. We are working for .89 a mile... anyone know what happened to the surcharge over at panther premium?

Forgot to mention the reason why: MENOPAUSE

Don't hire a female they b itch and complain and whine and show zero respect. They try to take charge.

I suppose that is why some opt for volume... to cover those large cost.

Cause they knew a bunch of transit/prostar owners would come through after saving 5k off the price of a sprinter that they'd have some extra cash in their pockets to blow on the gas espars. Diesel never let me down. :D

That is somewhat of a problem but the issue is freight is down. Chicago was going strong at 18 loads a day a month ago and now it is half that. Dallas was doing 5, now its 2. Atlanta the biggest disappointment was at 12 now its 2.

2012 - 2015 is a big difference. I think 100k cash is more realistic. Used is used. I'd much rather pay the 30k more and have a new one if I had that kinda money. I don't do financing currently. Paying USD for my Sprinters since 2010 ;) It appears that someone bought it, I wonder what they...

Rome wasn't built in one day, start small and build. Ease your way in and learn technique. It's all fun and games out here, you gotta pay to play. In order to pay you gotta earn your way up slowly. Sometimes its slower then we would like but that is life. There are a lot of successful people to...

Great to hear what is going on out there from other CV drivers, stay positive!

I met some nice ones as well. So are they really running for .50 a mile in a sprinter? ;)

Put a 53 footer on the Eisenhower interstate highway system and you should be ok with coast to coast coverage. Everybody wants a 53, its like the automatic word in this industry. Back hauls you name it.

Half a million in this game could mean 3 brand new Freightliner cascadia's or 50 2006 Sprinter vans with over 200,000 miles. ;)

Any other carriers experiencing the same? Is cargo van/sprinter freight just down at a very low point. I'd imagine mid march it will pick up but I've never seen it this bad. 2 loads a day in Atlanta, we are having to limit the amount of miles that we can travel outside of these cities...
