I've read a few times about 40 cpm being the cost for a sprinter to move. Can someone breakdown what's included in that cost? I'm guessing that's fuel and money set aside for maintenance and repairs? That seems high but maybe I'm not setting aside enough.

That's a link to OOIDA where you can download a spreadsheet to figure your Cost Per Mile. Truck washes, insurance, meals, bank fees, lots of stuff.

Knowing your approximate CPM is important, but the variables of this business diminish its value. If the business can allow 1/3 of your gross to be used as the operations fund, not counting fuel. Then you’re in the ballpark for most problems and annual expenses.

A lot of it is where you are sitting and which carrier you are with. If you are sitting on an area where they're isn't a lot of freight and there are lots of other vans near you, you can sit for a long time. Even in good areas, you can still sit for a day or three between loads. No, expediting isn't like regular trucking at all.I’m new to this site my name is Christina my husband and I just bought a sprinter van it’s been slow slow slow nothing like trucking may I ask what are we doing wrong?

It's a thing, but it's not one that has that much of a dramatic effect on freight. It might, though, depending on where your carrier obtains most of their freight. If it's from an inductry where things slow down towards the end of a quarter, then it might be a big deal.
Depends on where in NY it went.

I believe it was a load of crying towels delivering to the Bronx. But late last night their load got re-routed to Minneapolis.

get to know dispatcher's. every time you pick up a load or deliver it keep track of it . when I drove for fedexcc had a mapping program I could see where in each express center.. I had been and then after a few times . I had ideal where to sit, and wait for next load. that was reason I made a truck stop guide that told you where all the truck stop were in express center. now with all the mapping program's out now lot easier to find truck stop to get ready for next day
