    ....and depending if you can run a pre-emission rig or not.....

    My 386 with the DPF tares in at 23K.......
    A 2010 or later will be about 24K because they not only have the DPF...but a an SCR as well.....Adding another 1000 pounds to the rig.....


    By the time we get done with all this emissions crap and anti-idling equipment....APU's and the like....the tractors will be around 25K.......:biggrin_2556:

    IDK about anyone else....Especially the 'Boarders here....but shippers are demanding to put 50K on the wagons more and more.....

    That isn't possible with a Studio sleeper or even a Pete with a 70" sleeper....Well...Not legally anyway....:biggrin_25524:

    How big of fuel tanks and sleeper do you have?

    I'm 17,500lbs Bobtail with my Century with Super singles, full 120gal tanks, and a 70" standup sleeper.

    And 32,000 1/2 full on fuel, with a MT Dry Van with Duals

    70" double bunks. 120 gallons. it's probably close to 17.5, it's been two years since I weighed it bobtail.

    I do have the current cat scale ticket they made me get with an empty trl. 31900. that's pretty low on fuel though. under 1/4 tanks, mabey 1/8
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.
