4600 lb direct drive to Vegas from Toronto.?
Is there any van that could even take over 4000? That's insane
No way a straight truck will make it in 40 hrs with hoS
I set my absolute max at 3300 with the Sprinter and not for a drive like that either !

Not with my weight /fuel etc. That's more like 3000. 4000..4600 wonder what kind of sucker will do that
Empty sprinter with driver weighs what? 6600?
Add your 3000lbs load and you are 715 over legal limit set on the sticker for your van.
If you actually load 3300, you might get away with it. But if not, you are looking at $200 of fines and court fees. If 1001 pounds over, even more fines and fees kick in.
But, to everyone their own risks.

thats not a legal limit sticker...manufacturers recommended weight....so it says on mine....and I think you are wrong on the fines....unless they get you on a safety issue and they could pull your plates on the spot Officers discretion....
