With my empty flatbed i can push 8 -9 mpg.. With a empty dry van or reefer i can push 10 mpg.. 10 pushing 11 bobtail.. DD 15 dt 12 automatic 16 cascadia... Im usually never empty tho maybe for a deadhead a 100 miles or less... Maybe if u run tanker or do a run where u go out loaded and come back empty it would be good info to know but its kind of pointless if ur never empty anymore then just a average deadhead
Captain Mudsocks Thanks this. -
