    that depends, weight is issue for some an it maybe with this one Im looking at but, 475 hp is a min. most of these guys run 70 or more to get somewhere been driving a long time so weight wise most is 100,000 permited on all axles here in Ga, I always got good mileage heavy or not, but the International truck is a truck thats not used that much to me but there are some getting them now but most are Frieghtliners, 3.55 rear will be fine, my last truck had 411 rears with 7mph loaded or unloaded at 62 thats just how i drive. IF you run NC up in the mountians I put in 350$, to Atlanta 250-300$ , valdosta, ga 200$ orlando 300$ wkly 1000-1350$ gross after all $1700.
