Is it realistic to get 3 cpm with a lightweight? If so, would make it 50 cpm. 47 to begin with. Interesting???

I'm in the flatbed division though and don't meet many drivers in the reefer division or with LW. -
I find the fuel mileage worse in a lightweight. It wasn't hard to get 10mpg in a condo but the stars have to align to sniff that in my lw.

Assuming you don't mind answering. -
Although, I think you'd make more money in a lw pulling reefer.crocky Thanks this. -
If you’re in refer division, can you choose a condo or is LW a requirement?

Considering my entire time as company 90% of my loads were over 42k lbs, I stopped worrying about fuel mpg and just got to the reciever as fast as possible. Better chance of making more by getting a exta load in a week vs going slow to make a few extra pennies but Id still usally end up with a small fuel bonus.
If you get lighter loads the fuel bonus might work out or maybe if you are on a dedicated route, but being max weight most of the time, throw in some hills and you arent getting good mpg no matter how slow you go.Last edited: Dec 9, 2017
