    Mostly loaded going down, only 42k northbound, then old trailer empty back to PA, couple hours idling, should of fueled up yesterday to check my numbers against the two trailers, I was in the pedal a bit on the way back yesterday too loaded 70-73.

    was usually 5.4ish for the quarter on ifta with the kw without idling at all, closer to 5 the last year or so when I had to idle. I’ll have to get another tank of def through her to try and figure numbers out a little closer for that, once she’s broken in and I fine tune my driving to this truck I’m hoping she might be able to pop 6 running up here, I’m sure once I get out where it’s flat she will do even better than that

    Oh and I have a microwave/air fryer combo that will run off the factory inverter so I can start bringing more stuff with me

    Eye-opening. I'd love to own a W900... in some sort of low speed or local application. Haulin dirt. I don't know.

    I'd really want to be doing 6.5 or better all in average.

    "Get an aero W9, the T660!"

    Doesn't do it for me. What use case is a W900 most economically competitive?

    my loads are usually… well, let’s just call them chunky, and I live in MA and do a lot of VT, hills and weight start eating fuel pretty quick, I could click out 6 in the w9 with perfect condition out in the flat lands but I don’t get to do those as much as I like to

    Haven’t had a chance to read the finished article yet,

    Either I’m learning this x15 a bit or it’s breaking in more (or both, but milage keeps climbing, 6.2 on the last one and that included a north bound with 51k in the wagon, we just got a decent size amount of work so I’m using both trailer and back In last years issue of running out of #### to weld to on my old trailer, don’t really want to have a payment on another new one but not sure I want to buy another 8-10 year old trailer. Figure I’ll have a little bit of time before I fall through the floor

    been kind of a rough week since we lost our office manager to cancer at 19

    Clicked off 10k, what are guys running for oil in the x15 15-40 or 10-30? Synthetic blend? Probably dump the first one early and go 20k from here out?

    I changed mine at 6000 for the first time. But I'm just running my fleet oil at 15–40 that I run in everything.

    Also found a green APU dealer down near the dock, think I’m going to go ahead and order one, I don’t want to get in the habit of idling this thing but I can’t deal with the heat
