Considering Prime, Sell me

im jealous...haha....nah good job mont i run basically the same mostly west...per my fm....i guess it makes a diff w/the truck ive been running heavy for a few months and can barely scratch 7 but my truck is older than yours

 

My truck wont go out of the 6s this trip.

 

aww sad welcome to my world here lately i do remember what fuel bonuses look like though

 

I do too. Ive seen 1-2. Got one last week.

 

Do the flatbeds get better fuel mileage than the reefers?

 

Mine doesnt. Loads are too unaerodynamic for me to get good mileage.

 

You have the Detroits DD13 in your trk?

 

The fullsize trucks have the DD15. (ORD has a fullsize)

 

My trk has the DD13 in it and it gets 5.5mpg grossed out at 83,500 and we deadhead half the miles we drive. Best fuel mileage truck I drove was a 2009 Peterbilt 386 with a Cummings ISX in it. I would drive right at 3300 miles a week in it and she averaged right at 7 pulling a reefer. She was a beast pulling the hills in Missouri.

 

How was the Jake brake or "c" brake on that isx? Does it hold back a grossed truck going through hills and mountains?
