What is a sprinter van?

‘Sprinter van’ originally referred to commercial vans produced by Mercedes-Benz. However, the term has evolved and become a synonym for commercial cargo and crew vans. Unlike other popular trucking industry options like semi-trailers, drop-deck trailers, and flatbed trailers, sprinter vans are relatively small, meaning they consume less fuel and are easier to navigate through tight spaces.

The cheapest sprinter vans typically cost around $29,000, making them a budget-friendly option for those starting off in the trucking industry. Plus, there is considerable variation in carrying capacity, dimensions, and towing capacity between van models, so you can easily find a vehicle that suits your needs.
