Starting new business

Hi guys,

I am starting a new business. I will be running reefer out of seattle and do mainly the 11 Western grossed out at 80k. I've got it narrowed down to either a cascadia or pete 387. I will go either 2009 or 2010; f cali...

My question is what would be the best rear end setup for my case. I will be focusing on improving fuel mileage.

I don't race up hills and have never gone past 65mph. I usually am in the 57-60 mph unless I am stuck and got to pass a guy on a bicycle...

anyways,

since i will be in the west and have to deal with the mountains regularly passing through to tx, az....what would be the best rear end ratio with a 13spd?

3.36 seems a bit low; maybe 3.55? not really sure, I haven't driven them...

if i were to go 10spd what would be the ideal rear end for that setup?

 

Gentlemen.....thanks for the info...

I should clear things up...I will be running California...that's why I have.to get the newer motors....that's why I said.f Cali....
Yeah it's a matter.of time before Oregon and Washington follow...

I really don't want to get a dpf system but like you good freight in and out of Cali...and even if I don't pick or drop in Cali I.still gotta drive thru sometimes...that's why I need to get dpf...


I figure that all the i5 runners will end up trying to stay out of Cali thus leaving freight behind for the.dpf truck
