    Well considering that both were brand new and I was the only driver of both trucks then that would be a pretty good comparison don't you think?

    You have obviously never owned your own equipment. They come from the factory with their nuts cut off, parameters set stupidly, and so on.

    can you repeat this for all the guys who weren't paying close attention?



    i have never seen a big fleet spec a truck beancounter free. If you're pulling big or heavy, you can't be allowing beancounters to set up your trucks.
