I have posted an add in the classified section under " cargo vans " with photos. Thanks -Brandon

After a very short stay in the expedite business I am forced to leave. I had other business ventures with my brother but after his very unexpected death, I have to stay home to take care of what we started. Thank you everyone for all the information I gained from this forum. I enjoyed being on...

My 2007 Sprinter has just a little over 50,000 Miles and the original Continental Tires are almost gone. My Dealer is actually replacing them for me at no charge because of the terrible wear. JUNK !!! Love the new sprinter still , Its been performing perfectly. :)

There was once a web site that sold a larger custom made fuel tank for the sprinter. Cant find it anymore. did I dream it or can I just not find it ? Anyone know of this are maybe have one installed ?

I have a 2007 Sprinter. I have a really nice 60" custom sleeper in it. That leaves me with 8'6" of cargo space. I'm happy with it, I like it alot actually, and I stay busy and I like the company I work for. With that being said, this is my question. Everytime I'm sitting at a truck stop...

Another thing... why do people sit at truck stops all day anyway. Last week I pulled into the Flying J just south of Knoxville for the night after unloading to get some sleep. The next morning, I got up and went inside to use the restroom then came back out and started up my Sprinter and...

Why I purchased a sprinter. I like the way it looks !!! Its different, kinda stands out in a crowd. Its the trendy thing to drive and it matches my personality. I was one of the first to run out and get the new VW Beetle when it came out and 1998 !!! I like the driving position, the...

I have one of those little square dorm room type refrigerators in my Sprinter van. Its not very useful and I would like to know what you guys are using ? I'm sure this one is fine for a room that doesn't move down the highway at 70 MPH but on the road its useless. Everything shifts around...

Whats the best way to purchase fuel driving a sprinter ? I'm thinking CASH ? Unless someone has some trick or reward card to offset the the extra charge for using a credit / debit card ?

Don't let them install a new oil pan, unless its very inexpensive which I doubt it is. Any good mechanic will have a Heli-coil set and will be able to make it better than new using that. Or, any good welder will be able to use low-melt aluminum rods and fill / tap a new hole. -Brandon

What types / lenghts / etc of straps does everyone suggest for a sprinter ? Also, should I get some of those 2x4 sockets and if so what types? Pallet pullers.... clamp type or hook type. Thanks

Thanks for the information. Thats what I was looking for.

Anyone know of a QUALITY made sunshade set for the sprinter van ? I'm talking about the reflective panels that go inside up against the windshield and side windows. I have the cheap cardboard " universal " type but would rather have something more custom . Thanks -Brandon

Something to also take note of. When I first looked at the 07 spritner, the 3.5L engine required 91 octane fuel. Well, of course, you cant get 91 octane fuel so you will have to use 93 premium. I have around 10,000 on my 07 so far ( 3.0 CRD ). Was getting around 20 MPG at first, now...

RE: State Police Warning To ALL!! Please Read.... A few weeks ago, a friend awoke after a wild party in the bathtub full of ice water. His kidney's had been stolen...... I quickly got in my flat black Lamborghini , with ice cooled engine exhaust and my night vision goggles and drove him to...

Another newbie question here. As an O/O in a cargo van, what daily / weekly / monthy items do I need to keep track of for tax purposes ? 1) Mileage ? Do I need to just keep the odometer reading at the beginning of the year and end of year and take the mileage allowance ? Or do I need to...

>Wiz, welcome to the world of expediting! One question I >must ask. How did you pass a D.O.T. physical being deaf, >dumb and blind? Moot, "Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes and bells," "don't see no lights a-flashin', plays by sense of smell." :D I restore / rebuild...

So, " Bobtail " and " Occupational insurance " are separate things ? I'm sorry if I seem so ignorant of this but I cant seem to understand why anyone needs so many different kinds of insurance on one vehicle.

Can someone explain to me what insurance is needed to operate a cargo Van ( Sprinter ) as an O/O leased to a major expedite carrier ? Ive done lots of searching but not seeing alot of good answers. I see people talking about bobtail / unladen / etc... They way I understand so far is this. I...

Well, I have a Class B CDL with HAZMAT already ( See Above ), so I'm good to go with that. When you say " bobtail Insurance " , are you talking about just a regular full coverage policy that you would have on any personal vehicle or is there more to it ? Thanks again for all the responses...
