I like my M2. Got it cheap to test the waters with it and I am at almost 700k miles now. It won't win any races but it gets the freight where it needs to be on time. I've got the Eaton 6 speed manual so don't know anything about the Allison. Gets 12+ mpg. I don't like that it revs up a little...

Wow, look at that smile! It brightens your whole day, Jim, doesn't it?

That is why the Sprinter market it saturated and the others are not. Everybody thinks exactly like you. If I were you I would definitely get the CDL and go from there. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

What do you guys think of running steer tires all around? I heard it improves the fuel mileage, but how about traction? Also, since the thread depth is less than on drive tires they probably don't last as long. Just curious. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Do we still get points for 'Accurate and timely logs?' Last I got it was for May.

Good. I mentioned it because you would be surprised to know how many people get blinded by $$$ and don't read the contract carefully. Some don't even sign a contract at all. Then after working for a while they get all out of shape. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Jerry, This is one of the things you need to talk with your fleet owner about. It should be clearly written in the contract. You read the contract, didn't you? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Wow, 37 years. Congratulations to all of you. Wish you many more. We just celebrated our 8th anniversary last month. It would be interesting to me to hear how you husbands managed to hold your marriages together for all those years. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I tried to drive my old Sprinter the other day to take some trash to the dump. Started up just as good as always, but when I left, the brake pedal didn't feel right, so I turned around to investigate. By the time I got back home the Brake light came on the dash. Parked it, looked under the hood...

Way to go Griz.

Doofoses recommended and installed passenger tires and you need light truck tires. Light truck tires (same as 10 ply, or range E) are easy to spot. They will have the maximum cold pressure printed on the side as 80 psi. Passenger tires are only 44, or 35, some 50. CHANGE THEM ASAP. Sent from...

For me in a basic two axle 33k truck this year has been better both as the number of loads and the base rate. The last few months I have had more pre-planed loads, and also we got quite a few loads that we changed the pick up or delivery terms and the customer accepted. Some customers wanted...

My guess is that the 3-4 weeks out is a requirement of the fleet owner, not the company. It makes sense to me since the fleet owner wants to make money off of their trucks, not have them sit a lot. But I didn't take the time to look it up. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Wonderful. All are out, including the 3 SEALs and the Australian doctor that were still in the cave after the boys were rescued. Amazing what humanity can accomplish if we work together. Sad that one of the SEALs lost his life though running out of oxygen. Also I am sad to read hate posts...

Or maybe join a gym, work out and take all the showers you want and fuel up wherever you want. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Maybe they didn't intend to go that far. Maybe that was the only way to go after the water started filling the cave to avoid drowning. Don't know though. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

A bit off topic, but do you buy your fuel at Pilot with your Fleet One card? I can do much much better on price fueling at other places than pilot. I haven't used my Fleet One card yet. I know it is not as convenient, but I save some money that way. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

That is not too bad. My 2004 Sprinter cost me a bit less than that in maintenance over the 779k miles I expedited in it. I did almost all the maintenance myself though. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday Dave. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
