    LOL I put that picture up for whomever asked what a sprinter was.
    How ever, The first time you run up against the log you will wish you had an unregulated truck.
    Imo the only way to make money in a straight truck is in specialized freight. So that would mean an International presence.
    I did the sprinter thing for a couple years, after years in a TT, and the freedom from regs was wonderful but living out of the back was ok but not ideal Maybe if you could get multiple shipments and make a route out of it.
    Maybe look at courier work but that is becoming saturated with fly by nights now.
    Just rambling

    Good point. I guess "expedite" for a solo would be short runs. Running out of hours doesn't work

    Try don't badge sprinters as a dodge either since 2010 I believe.
    Daimler Benz and Dodge/Freightliner split then I think.

    Right now in the USA that is true but I have heard rumblings that Canada is thinking 1995 as the benchmark.
    I have also heard of the US imposing some kind of penalty for not using electronic log or pollution controlled engines,
    JUst rumours at this point but still.
