I keep track of my rate with the deadhead included. In recent days this means I've been getting in the range of .70-.90 per mile. If you plan to run home after every run, your numbers would look entirely different, because I'm out here following the freight. The next thing you need to do is...

I know some people who couldn't afford the cremation, so the body was donated to a medical school. After the school did what they do to cadavers, the cremated remains were returned to the family free of charge. eb

330,000 miles. 2007 the sprinter became a different animal, so there are apples and oranges in this bucket. I had $12,000 in repairs last year. eb

My slow down seemed to coincide with the rollout of the nagbar, but it's not a scientific observation, more an association I made. eb

You ought to charge extra for helping someone cut in line. eb

The one that I had experience with for a Sprinter purchase that I would have gone back to was one of the Dodge dealerships that was run out of business. eb

Is this a warning to those with solar panels on their sprinter vans? Check your rearend Dan. eb

I had the same thing happen to my right rear 15 months ago. I caught it before it ripped loose. I had slack in my drive train. On acceleration and deceleration there was a clunk as the drive train caught up. There was also a occassional ratcheting noise when trying to go on slippery surfaces...

I thought I read somewhere that the NCV3 sprinter wheel wells can't be modified as easily as the older models. A four wheel 3500 gas sprinter is the one I'm waiting for. eb

And my little Bolt sprinter. eb

What was it that I saw in Laredo a couple weeks ago? There were two 53 foot trailers full of baled animal pelts at a warehouse. They looked and smelled like they could have been road kills. I don't know which way they were crossing the border, but someone is apparently invested in smelly...

What are you driving now? Can you sell it and buy a van with the proceeds? You will have little use for your personal vehicle once you hit the road. Just an idea. eb

To answer the original question--I don't know. I've only driven a sprinter with bolt, so I have nothing to compare. I do know that there is another sprinter driver at bolt who I correspond with, and twice in the last year when I arrived in Laredo after him, I departed before him. I have the...

Added to the cargo van setup guide thread. Looks like a fun project. eb

AMonger, Why didn't I get this email if it originates from eo? I think it is being sent to a more targeted audience than would qualify for spam. And just because something is unwanted doesn't make it criminal. Are you airing your grievances here because you couldn't get the issue resolved...

There is a difference between junk mail and spam. eb

Solid January and February. March is off to a shaky start, because I took a load into Florida. eb

I finally encountered Angry Birds. eb

I put it here because other than newbies also ask for the info. It gets less buried, since few others use the bolt forum. And from time to time I refer to it in the other forums. I figure if someone is thinking about bolt they'll come down to the carriers forum to see what kind of things are...

Sounds about right, geo. I had $12,000 in repairs on my 07 last year. eb
