Yup, another angry little fella that knows it all. Apparently he also lacks reading comprehension skills since I stated I never did any runs in that area and was unfamiliar with it.

Thanks xiggi, I think that seals it, I'm going to head to either McAllen or Brownsville. Didn't realize Pharr was also close and my dispatch told me that is also a good spot.

Thanks paullud, I know McAllen is also close and if I'm not mistaken there are a ton of oil and gas companies there.

What's the mileage supposed to be for the Ford Transit high top that holds 3 full skids? Either the gas or the diesel one. I talked to a sales rep at the Expo and they still didn't know.

It's getting to the point that I just can't get loads out of Laredo at all anymore without sitting at least a week. I was talking to another driver in Laredo today and he told me when he used to run Sprinters he always deadheaded out of Laredo over to Brownsville and got loaded a lot quicker...

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. Just out of curiosity, who are considered the budget carriers?

I can definitely understand that, but right now it's pretty unlikely that any of the larger carriers will take on a 2003 vehicle. The company I am running for would be considered a smaller carrier, but in the 3 years I have been there they have always paid me on time. Now paying less is...

What that means is smaller carriers that tend to treat you more like a person than a number, thus having a good "rapport" with them.

I have no problem piling the miles onto my vehicle, and i don't have issues also running for a budget carrier. I prefer to keep running and when the time comes I'll buy a new Sprinter.

Hello, I have been expediting a little over 3 years for the same company, and up until a few months ago it was in one of their leased vehicles. I now own my own Sprinter, a 2003 2500 that has 112,000 miles and holds 3 full skids plus (160" length in the cargo area because my cargo cage takes...

Is Load1 taking on Sprinter drivers? I did a brokered load for them last week and a girl there told me they were only taking on staright trucks.

I'd just be happy to get a fuel surcharge. For whatever reason my company pays it for local runs but not for OTR.

Thanks for the link, took a look at it but the information was a little dated. I have been averaging over $1200 a week after expenses driving a company Sprinter so I expect I could be doing a LOT better if I owned my own.

It's pretty damaged but I have been cleaning it up as best I can. I would say my score is in the 600 range but I haven't checked it recently (I am planning on checking it again this week).

When I say lease I don't mean like a traditional lease, I'm talking about leasing through Penske or Ryder, like a long term rental with unlimited miles.

First of all I apologize if this has been discussed repeatedly before but I couldn't find the answer using the search feature. Where is a reputable place to finance a Sprinter van, especially if you have damaged credit? I have been told that most traditional places won't finance a Sprinter...
