Ever since May 26, 2010 when the other Sprinter I was driving broke down
and my company informed me that they are selling it and that we are not
buying any more Sprinters, I was of course sad and had to deal with the
idea in my life that this era was over. I had seriously considered
quitting if it would ever come to this but when the time came it didn't
seem like the right thing to do. I dealt with this whole business and
decided that I would drive whatever they wanted to put on the road.
Since I have been driving a GMC Savannah 10 foot cube (think Uhaul).
Even though it was a nice little truck and did drive rather nice, it did
not carry the cargo I needed to carry and was really inconvenient to
work out of as compared to my Sprinter. Later I heard rumors that they may buy another Sprinter but every time
they found one, it was sold before they could come back and get it. I
don't know the story about this one but my manager called me about 2
weeks ago and said he was in North Carolina driving a Sprinter back home
and that it was a really, really nice one. Friday I was able to pick it up and load it with our product ready to
get on the road and start using it tomorrow (Monday). My manager spent
over a week getting it ready to go on the road. He put in wall to
wall-front-to-back carpeting, a nice white insulated ceiling, lights,
wired in an inverter and printer and all the shelves I need to carry our
product. When I took it out on the road Friday night, I was impressed by the way
it drove. I had forgotten how nice these vehicles are! It beats the
little GMC all to shreds. It will make working our stores so much more
pleasant and efficient. This one comes from a distributing company in North Carolina and looks
well taken care of. We are going to get the windows tinted with the
darkest tint we can legally have in Texas. And I really can't say how thankful I am in my heart for this vehicle.
It is making the difference between coming to the place where you really
don't care so much about your job anymore and now being pumped up and
ready to go again. It is the same thing that happened when my previous
boss bought a real nice Peterbilt after having driven an older KW that
was the nicest truck I had driven up to that point. (I still want to
take a Pete, customize the sleeper, and use it on this job!) And to whoever is in charge of vehicles at Choice Books of Northern
Virginia, thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me! And to
my manager, Joe Wagler, Thank You! You have done a great job
customizing it!
