Sprinter or van fixed & variable costs

[Tuckster]

I know there is a nice spreadsheet available for TT but when considering getting into expediting at the van level, where can I find info on fixed and variable costs. The info I have received so far indicates approx. $450/month for ins/QC/workmans comp etc. and I know maintainence on a sprinter is more than a van as well as initial investment. Also, I realize a sprinter will be available for more loads and will pay more per mile. How about fuel mileage and other pros/cons.
