Eagle Logistics Services. Indianapolis, IN

Thanks BigSarge, for passing on that good info. The new peters, lonestars, and w9s come with 13speed eaton trans right?

 

Well ok that's good to know. Thanks for ur info and can I ask how do you know about all the trucks available.also do you know what transmission they have in them

 

I'm sitting next to a Eagle driver currently. Out here in Indiana somewhere. He says that he likes them so far. He has dispatch get his loads for him,and he normally has a choice of 3 different loads. He's in a brand new Lone star. Says that they are running him hard. He's been there 3 weeks.
I've had my eye on this company for a short time now, thank you for the info so far. Please keep it up.

 

Well that's good to hear. I'm looking hard at this company also

 

Stormy, hows the mpg on the Lonestars?

 

I've been talking to the guy who started this thread, truckerpete24, and he just switched out of a cascadia and into a lone star. He is getting 6.5-8mpg. imo not bad for a heavy truck that's not even broken in yet.

 

That's correct, they are 13 speed eaton's

 

I know because I completed orientation this week, and I was at the terminal, and both quality locations today. the kw's and lonestars have the eaton 13 speed. the Cascadia regular 10 speed, the Columbia's 10spd, the used Cascadia's I saw a red auto a blue super 10 and a few regular 10. the prostars regular 10. the pete's have both 13spd and some used 10spd

 

Hey bill3
if I remember right he said he was around 6.5 mpg. But truth be told I'm not sure he was playing with a full deck if ya know what i mean.
I've been using the "let's truck" app that helps keep track of your fuel mileage. With my 2015 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution I'm averaging 7.09 over the past 5 weeks. I'm governed at 62 on the floor and 65mph on cruise. Just incase someone else is thinking about getting a Cascadia Evolution. I'd still take a 389 or a 379 any day of the week.
Does anyone know at what speed they govern their trucks at??? Thanks

 

Thanks stormy.. done some searches, looks like kw680 7.7 or so.. lonestar in mid 7's... the Evo should be doing better I would have thought. I wil probably go with lonestar. Just wish they had mid roof single bunk.. was by recruiting all celadon lease trucks hi rise double.
