they want you to have new trucks because they want you to be up to your eyeballs in debt so you will have to work your tail off

Probably, I got 12.2mpg bobtailing the company volvo # 60mph for 180 miles round trip for a family emergency.
'07 670, 450HP ISX, eaton 10 direct w/ 2.6 rears.

Stay away from the volvo engine.
My company pays drivers a fuel mileage bonus and the VED target MPG is much less than the Cummins.
