Hello there, I am looking for a new insurance company for my Sprinter. It has been difficult to find a deal in Ontario. Please help if you have recommendations. Thanks!!

Im hitting the road next week, expediting regionally (if you consider regional as expediting) in the northeast in a 2014 Sprinter 2500. Are there any things (tools, accessories etc.) that I need to always have in the van. I welcome any advice that others wish they knew before they started. Thank...

Hi I am curious what to expect as a owner operator of a sprinter / small box truck(16-20ft) . I have been doing deliveries with amazon in a sprinter for almost a year now making about 40k a year. I am considering buying a sprinter or small box truck in hopes of earning more. Its so hard to find...

Hello Everyone, I have been reading and have applied to a few spots on here for a sprinter/cargo van driver. I am interested in OTR or local. I am trying to get my feet wet here and go from there. Bit of a background: I have drove straight trucks and box trucks cross country OTR for a few...

Hello, There is tons of information here but some of it can be overwhelming and we need some personalized information. I already see loads I can haul on DAT etc but I'm unsure of the legal requirements. (MC# DOT# etc) I'd like to get to work as quickly and with as little headache as possible...

Hi all, I heard this forum might be a good place to ask for some advice. I have a Transit 350 XL Cargo, and I installed a Tommy Gate lift gate on the back. However unfortunately the extended overhang on the back plus the added gate structure underneath means less clearance, so whenever I hit...

I have been involved in passenger transportation for 19 yrs. I am looking to change to sprinter/cargo van service. What companies do not require a DOT physical for Sprinter/Cargo van work? DOT regs do not require physicals for GVW >10,000 but it appears many companies do. Thanks in advance.

I’m posting this in the noob section because it’s such a noob question. I had 6 months experience in a Dodge/Mercedes 2500 diesel Sprinter Van. I loved the taller ceiling. I hated every time there was an issue it was a problem finding a diesel mechanic to even work on it, and no matter what, it...

Hello everyone!! I have been researching on sprinter van driving for a couple months and keep reading contradicting information. The owner operator guys that I know that do it say that they make about $1/mile, have plenty of work, pretty easy flow, etc.. I keep reading that it has gotten worse...

Hi, just picked up new extended Sprinter. Dealer is offering extended bumbper to bumper warranty until 175K miles, zero duductable. The cost is approx $3,700 Does it worth the cost? We will be putting about 150K per year.

With Ryder System, Inc. announcing it has begun taking delivery of its first 125 Chanje V8070 all-electric commercial panel vans, what's different about this Class 5 vehicle aimed squarely at last-mile, urban and metro-area delivery? Does it and other electric trucks have any real chance to...

TBT: Here's what life and revenue looked (moi) like in a Expediter Cargo Van in 1995. Not too often you get see to the whole picture. :smilie:

So I was just offered a job driving a Sprinter Van by a friend of mine who owns a fleet. The pay is okay, so I decided to take it. I have prior experience driving a tractor trailer, though I haven't driven one in over 7 or 8 years. So I kind of know how being on the road works. I was wanting to...
