    POLL Carrier Loads question

    You need to separate large companies that pay drivers a flat fee per mile regardless of what they earn, from large companies that do a proper split. This is accomplished by chatting with a LOT of drivers I haven't seen small companies in the van world that have proper access to good freight...

    Black Smoke Matters...

    Suits may freak over bonuses, but that's far from changing their business model. (Edit: my current carrier evolved out of a lawsuit. They simply closed the office down, opened under another name, and paid nothing. Dragged on 10+ years...)

    Black Smoke Matters...

    They need to go home or stop running. Not for a day, for a month. Bring the country to its knees, and do enough damage to make a memorable impression. Being paid by the mile is ridiculous. Of course the only way to make money is to drive unsafely and speed in horrible conditions. Truckers...

    I keep stopping on the srw cubes and eyeing that width. At least once a month I get a call to rescue a light straight sized load...paid accordingly... Adjusted my attitude rereading the stephensservice.com and "the fatal flaw of Mercedes-Benz sprinters" interweb sites. Then I came upon...

    Answer: gas if it comes with highest GVWR Oil change cost: free + oil and filter (not seeing a dealership again) (Edit: anyone that knows me will understand I go thru this everytime something frustrating happens with my Sprinter, I'll start vomiting when I think of the payments) Have to get...

    Situation: our emissions testing gets scrapped in April, mine's expired now. Problem: when connected to the machine, my Sprinter is not allowed to complete the test. In fact, the second location I tried, the machine called "home" for a video conference. I've heard some sprinters have been...

    OK, I'm not sissy yet. No problems working outside in 17 F weather. Snow stopped, sprinter started :D Don't put off those transmission fluid changes. Yes mine was synthetic, but it was a dark thick sludgy mess. New control board and fluid/filter. Maybe, I'll work next...

    Rear service done, had a sticky caliper. Remembered a Sprinter source thread about loose u bolts; indeed mine were torqued but loose. Sledgehammer, torch, penetrating oil and a few hours later, the rattle is gone! Which wasted my time on the real problem; getting stuck in gear. Now racing the...
