I was going to say something. But like usual I think I just better keep my mouth shut.
Besides after 2 years of doing this, most people still think I don't know what I'm talking about , so I will not interject my opinion into the conversation.
That and I'm out here making at least a 1. 45 a mile and staying loaded daily
(Ps- and that is with a sprinter mind you)

Straight trucks are great if you are a team. Singles should stay with sprinters or cvs. Do to regulations. You are limited on the loads you can haul. Because you won't be able to get there without a break. And the customer wants it run direct.

Some bigger carriers also limit solo vans.

I wouldn't think so.. They are real into independent o/o thing. I don't think they would just make up their own regs. But I don't know.

They must have changed it. I have friend that works there and he is not regulated.

I didn't think this conversation was this big when I initially posted. Thanks everyone!
I thought over the weekend about everything. I can always change if what I go with isn't working out. Right now, a Sprinter is looking better than a straight. Straights are "always in demand", so if the Sprinter just doesn't cut it, a for sale sign fixes it and I don't lose a lot in plates, ifta, dot stuff, etc. Since I've already got a class a, moving up wouldn't be hard.
This may be stretching this thread topic, but without going back and adding all the location posts, what would you say is a good (or bad) yearly average on paying miles for a Sprinter vs straight?
