No one has posted on the topic in a while. Heard some local news here in Tampa the other day saying that only 5,000 people were without health insurance in the "entire bay area." Where are they pulling these numbers? I know for a fact that there are well over 5k 100% homeless in my county alone...

LDB, I agree with you on all points, and bringing an issue to the attention of the owner/GM does carry some weight. Short of turning this into any lengthy story, I will just say that I have traversed these routes and exhausted all options in my case. The law is very grey and sometimes even blind...

ChefD, awesome info thanks. Yeah I happened to notice someone's post of the QC equipped ontop of their ride, which is the reason I asked. Thanks for sharing your position as a cv driver. What you are doing sounds like the sort of position I'd like to be in. Also, probably a good way to start...

Gregg, ChefD, again thanks for your insight. I'm starting to get the picture. Chef, what you are saying is that your leased on but you are not a sub-contractor? Meaning you could hire a driver yourself to run your truck? Also, does Bolt, Panther etc, require CDL for Sprinter? I would have...

Thanks OVM and ChefD, I guess what I am trying to understand is the basic definition of an O/O, and the advantage vs disadvantage being a solo act. I thought an O/O was someone operating under their own authority. But what advantage is there to having your own MC compared to operating...

Its funny that the flat price of gas has had more people considering Prius lately. Used models coming off previous leases were fetching 26-28k when gas was at 3.80. When the gas prices fell so did Prius sales, I remeber everyone was buying up the Trailblazer SS for less than a Prius. Whats...

Thanks for the heads-up. I have no plans for a dually, just saying I didn't think the extra drag and fuel was worth the extra strength. I will be looking at 2500's.

Thanks for the important tips. I wouldn't upgrade springs unless the dealer had the option, and I doubt a dually is worth the extra fuel costs. Completely agree on Continentals, they are high-rated tires with laughable tread wear. We went through 6 tires in 38k on our SUV. Now running...

I don't know what Ohio territory is like, but I know here in FL there are very few if any Prius on dealer lots. The touring models are usually all that is available and it is not uncommon to see 2-4k over MSRP! I know, we have looked a few times. Prius has been here for a decade now, and the...

Thank you OVM, I agree with both statements. Thanks guido, I will be comfortable. I am really a cybornetic organism here to steal your loads! lol

Thanks OVM, I would do well with 26" or even a hammock lol! My guess was also better mpg in crosswinds with 144." But three pallets like you said sound like $-$, a better deal. Looks like the dealers are asking 2k more for the extra 30" wheel base too.

Thanks very much for that input xiggi, but could you elaborate on why the 144" would be as you said, "bad business?"

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, and looking for advice in my quest for obtaining a Sprinter! So far my searching has been limited to the web. I have exhausted nearly all internet resources for a M.B. I have come to the conclusion that the "real" prices are never listed online. I...
