So my boss, with whom I love dearly. Is a techy gadget guy. He bought 6 2018 VNL 630's, 5 2019 VNL 740's. And 15 2020 Volvo VNL 740's in the 6X2 lift axle configuration. To pull food grade. He loves the tech. However after pouring over the data...We as a company are going back to a 6x4 and Duals.
So in three years our entire fleet will be switched over trucks and trailers. I'm either way on it. Really. I like to think I can drive anything safely. But seeing the data from our reefer trucks, (6x4 and duals) and food grade trucks, (6x2 and lift axle) I see why.
Numbers dont lie.

I'm shocked and appalled.
Socal Xpress and Coffey Thank this. -
Interesting, I was considering going to singles for the summer, mostly for fuel savings.
Did you talk to a tire tech to see the cause of wear? Possibly inflation or alignment? -
The truth about super singles, tire manufacturers figured one man can make a $800 tire in the same amount of time it takes to make a $400 tire.
They then came up with the hype about how much they can save trucking company’s ,the bean counters bought it and the rest is history.stillwurkin, roshea, Orange713 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I've always wondered why if super singles are so good how come the distributors who make them Bridgestone/Firestone etc etc dont run them on their own trucks? Atleast not that I've seen...
TexasKGB, wndrwtr, roshea and 1 other person Thank this. -
I rarely see supersingles nowadays, the same as trailer tails. I wonder if skirts really do help with mpg
