Trucking in North America vs around the world

Yes, they do, i dont see math behind that. Doing such things kills truck in very short time. There i a certain limit when extra weight dont bring extra profit.

They use MB licenced axles, mb sold licence in 1988. Now it is 50years since they are introduced. Gearboxes are fastgear eaton copy. Engines wechai, that is based on austria styer.

I have some speed related questions

Lets say that 55mph is standard cruising speed. Since you guys have free hands for more, can you please tell me what happens at higher cruising speeds, lets say 60, 65, 70mph

Except higher fuel economy. Do anyone have some data related to engine lifetime, oil change intervals, how it reflect to tire lifetime?

Wheelbearings? U joins? Differential? Gearbox?

Would you say that shorter lifetime is linear with speed increase or it goes exponentional?
