Ok folks, lets don't get wrapped around the axle here. When the company bids on a run, a shorter mile rate may play a part in obtaining the run. Example: I bid 1200 miles on a run that is actual @ 1300. Rate @ 1200 miles may be 77 to 80 cents. Another company bids 1300 miles @ .70 per mile. The...

Greg My last oil change (and I mean my Last Oil change), was 147.00. Fuel filter change was 198.00. Dodge charged 98 labor and 85.00 for the filter. The rest was taxes. I purchased a case of oil filters for around 5.75 each. I have ordered fuel filters for 27.00. Steady

Sprinter owners! I was in Ohio during some down time and needed an Oil change. I always carry a extra oil filter for my sprinter, for the "just in case things that happen" Well, looked around for a Dodge dealership....found one and ask if they could change the oil in a Sprinter if I had the...

I use to sell Sprinters. Number 1 problem was the EGR Value. Chrysler had a re-call on 2003 and 2004 Sprinters to replace the EGR Value with a new type. The newer EGR is on the 2005 and newer units. Idle is the main problem that causes the EGR to soot up. I have a high idle fuction on mine and...

As far as employees with trucks, that’s fine. My point was, employees in authority positions. Ones that could be the companies lower management, dispatchers, and fleet coordinators. This is where I believe the conflict of interest is. I have been talking with drivers from different companies and...

Yes I use that type of suction cup. But I put a small hole in the reflectix material, remove the hook and work the suction cup through the hole and reinstall the clip, (helps hold it in place). One on each conner. Same for the windsheild. I taped two strips of the reflectix material with...

Conflict of Interest? What are your thoughts with company employee(s) who are working in the home office of a company having trucks signed on. This may be a common practice but to me it could be a conflict of interest not to say it could show favoritism on who gets loaded. I saw one employee...

I put this inside my Sprinter and works great. I also did the windows and windsheild, using small suction cups to hold them in place when stopped. Steady You're not dead, you're electroencephalographically challenged.

I have found some web sites that have hard to find items for Sprinters. In an earlier post I said I could get oil filters for around $7.00. Sorry they must have raised the price or I goofed. Still cheaper than Freight Liner or Dodge. http://eurocampers.com/ Oil/Fuel Filters, much more...

I have a Dell Lat. that sits on pass. seat in a docking station. DVD, GPS works great. The docking station gives it more of a stable situation than just letting it bounce on a stand. I have a small pillow under the docking station and straped in. I had this laptop for about 3 years now. I...

I have a 2005 Sprinter and have had no problems. The EGR Value had a recall and in 2005 the problem is fixed. Throwaway motor??? Not sure about that. I sold Sprinters before coming into this biz. I spoke with Drivers and owners of Sprinters and everyone I spoke with at the dealership loved them...

As I see it, this site is run by those that wanted a site for us to go to and voice our thoughts, ideas, sharing information, being a family of sorts. With every family there are spats. That’s where the parents (Moderators), come in and deal out “tough love”. Then some say you love so in so more...

Thanks for all the positive thoughts! Just what I wanted to hear “been there done that….” Long way from being a Regional Financial Analyst, hated the job more times than liked it. It took 25 years to make my move into a new career. Oh, raceman- More to it than just clip clip pull pull on the...

Some short insights from a newbe. Sprinter came in. Last minute e-track installation. Thought I had it ready to go, after 12 stitches, (another story)…Made 620 mile trip to new company, Cleaned Sprinter at 2200 hrs in 14-degree temp, so new company decals can be installed. Froze early that...

I am about to get into the expediting field. Although I have been in transportation all my life, this will be a new adventure for my family and me. I am ready to sign on with a company. I have been reading both good and bad things about them, but I take it with a grain of salt. I make my own...
