what mpg do you get on the lightweight

There are so many variablesto MPG, it's almost pointless to compare. You run west (hills/mountains), I run midwest (flat). You're reefer (I assume), I run tanker (so have to high idle while pumping). I deal with surge, but probably deadhead more than you. All that said, I usually average between 7.7 and 8 mpg in my 2016 International (do you have a Freightliner or International?).

 

Hills will do you in. I know when I was in a light wt and would run northern CA, WA, ID, NV and west to NE, my milage would tank. Hated it, but that LW is underpowered so not much I could do. I probably averaged about the same as you.

 

They do training in the light weights?

 

Nope, full size only

 

Then what's the issue. Everyone makes more money when you do training

 

As everyone has said, there are so many variables in mpg. I just ran straight into 50+ winds and it shot my tanks to fumes. Had to pay cash to get to next best fuel stop. If you have been driving for three months you are good to go for tnt

 

Or you could go lease.
