    When my horse buddies don't say good morning. I know it's cold. We have had a mild winter, but I'm over it.

    What are you seeing for mileage?

    This paccar at 80k is averaging low 5s. 455/1650 with lp22.5s and 3.25s in the hills kills it. The KW pulls low 6 with 500/1850 on tall 24.5s and 3.55s in the same runs at around the same gross.

    I'm all over the place switching trailers. But my yearly stays around 6-6.5

    Cold weather and hopper, I've see 5. Warm weather with covered wagon, 6.5-7. Light ltl loads, I've had 8.75.

    That's next to zero interstate.

    They were well built light trucks. You would have made money.

    Old Burlington Motor Express. There was a first class operation. :D
