    Afaik up to $1.40, which doesn't entice me unless all miles. I did see 1.50 all miles from a Canadian company today which may entice me...

    No I'm Greg not Victor. In order to know you, I'd have to take the time to stop and chat ;) rush all the time....

    I had not considered the all miles aspect. The only experience I have had with straight truck was co driver team operation . Boss was receiving $1.50 per mile several years ago. I thought that was cheap then, if it was all miles ? He was also running a paid for truck

    Well I think so, but some is lost in translation between us$$/canadian$$ and the higher costs north of US

    I certainly wouldn't have a clue about the difference in operating cost between the U.S and Canada. The all miles paid full rate and not dead head rate would make big difference.

    That's part of my problem. Unless someone tells me, the only way I'm going to find out is to buy a straight and run it for a year (losing my sprinter load contacts in the meantime)

    Sorry , like the others - don't know the rates anymore. Got out of expediting 7 years ago. Did both , the Sprinter and straight truck route. Both have benefits and drawbacks . If I would do it again (which I won't) , raised roof and raised doors extended cargo van . I would never ever ever did I say ever buy another Sprinter.

    I am getting hints. I won't put them here, until I get some sort of "corroborating evidence" like, 1 other person ever making that much lol
