ya, what he said. I'm sleepy also. I think I'll re-read that one in the morning.

Don't know the rate for trucks. I own and drive a van. Last january I got a pay increase from $1.02 per mile to .80 per mile. This year per mile is still .80. I hope it stays there because I can't afford another pay increase. :( This fuel surcharge will probably result in us parting ways...

Con-Way Now's new method of calculating F.S.C. for 'B' units is as follows- National diesel fuel average ( U.S. Departmen of Engery) minus $1.25 (base price) divided by 13 (Average m.p.g) equals fuel surcharge per mile. Moot:-( :-( :(

The dodge Sprinter website list many specs including cubic feet. I would like the inside dimensions of the cargo area. Also I was curious as to what a decked out Phoenix conversion weighed.

What are the inside demensions for a 158'' wheelbase Sprinter? - Total length (seat base to rear door). Total width. Width between wheel wells. What is the total inside cargo length for a Sprinter/Phoenix conversion? What does the Phoenix weigh with all of the goodies and a driver...
