    Mine was 61.

    I drove a Cascadia. Detroit engine.

    do they still run APU's?
    can i have an inverter?

    Yes, Most do. Big inverter already under bunk.

    is it forced dispatch to NYC, DC?

    I believe so.

    what can i honestly expect mileage wise?

    Depends on your DA, I mean MF, I mean dispatcher.
