Experience with new volvo first 12k miles

Hello everyone i just wanted to write up a quick post about my experience on a new 2016 volvo just in case someone is wondering. Only put 12k miles on it so far, its a 2016 volvo 780 with isx15 525 and a 13 eaton 3.42 rears.
No problems at all so far everything is running smooth, fuel averaging 7.0 for the first 12k miles, running a reefer so mostly averaging 80 gross. At first when it had no miles it felt very weak after a little of break-in it turned in to something else quickly, The cummins really does pull compared to a d13. The empty weight of the truck and trailer, 300 gallons of fuel and a great dane reefer is 36200 lbs. the cummins is a little heavy on the front, if you want to be below 12k lbs on the steers cannot fuel more than 3/4. Fully fueled and loaded steers are around 12300. I know most states allow 13200 but some dont like MO and ARK only allow up to 12k even if your tires and axle allows more.

 

No, set all the way to the back.

 

I see, in my case all i have to do is make sure to have 3/4 of fuel or less before entering states with 12k limits for steers. Considering it has dual 150s , 3/4 is not that bad to live with.

 

I hear from many drivers that it doesnt really catch their attention as long as you dont exceed 12300. At first when i still wasnt familiar with this truck and my steers were around 12600, a dot officer ran out to look at my tire ratings and front axle rating to make sure i wasnt exceeding any limits.
