    Sorry my phone is glitching lol. .98cpm loaded plus fuel surcharge. Unless it went up. Like I said on way to yard to sign new contract and see the new details.what did quality tell you for a freightliner? Also keep in mind you pay what USA pays for fuel. Example I paid 1.51 the other day when fuel was 2.20 something I don't pay attention to pump price, they have an app tied to your fuel card that tells you what your paying

    Nice. They didn't tell me about the fuel deal. But the cpm was correct with a .13cpm FSC. I'm looking at the kenworth w900, that's what id prefer. Supposedly about the same price per week according to quality

    They are nice trucks but you won't get the fuel milage. Maybe 6-6.5 with a w900. I get 7.5 fully loaded with my freightliner light loads have seen 8.8 mpg that's running 65. I talked to a driver doing close to 10 mpg with a Cascadia but he only drove 55 and wouldn't hall more than 35,000 pounds I just can't drive that slow lol

    Better look at your mpg on that W9. They are also heavy so you will have to watch how much weight you can pull
     
    Shawn benton Thanks this.

    I'm used to prying decent fuel mileage out of a truck lol. Driving a 01 Pete 379 with 1002879 on the odometer pulling lowboy. I manage to squeeze a decent amount out of it but definitely going to keep that in mind.

    I talk to guys with the t680 here, they look nice inside. After you fix the recall for the leaking clearance lights that leak water into cab, they are nice trucks. Most are pretty close to my fuel milage. I can out pull them on hills every time though. My truck has the parksmart (battery powered apu) kw t680 has similar system but the a/c don't work as well. Laredo 110 degrees I can keep sleeper comfortable with out truck running the kenworths all have to idle. You will see Laredo a lot in summer that's where the best loads are.

    Works good for me considering I live in south Louisiana. Definitely no stranger to Laredo lol. I may have to check into the other trucks. How was your experience at quality? Everyone friendly and helpful? Hear alot of horror stories about them as well
