Less hassle with a Sprinter than running a tractor/trailer for several reasons:

1. Cost to operate is much lower (Fuel/tires/tolls/new truck payment, etc)
2. Can park just about anywhere(not regulated to truck stops)
3. Not regulated in run/drive time hours
4. Easier to handle/negotiate roads and such

These are the reasons my drivers up there in age switch to a smaller vehicle. They have semi-retirement on the brain.
