I don’t haul things for hire. I’m hauling our own equipment to job sites. It is all an expense but yeah spending about 65 cents per mile on fuel.
That isn’t really an option. I travel everywhere in a convoy of pickups hauling our own equipment to our job sites. Everyone wants to travel the...
I would be happy with high fives low sixes. Just completed a 2,000 mile trip, 65k gross, less than 30 minutes idling, averaged 4.4.
This is going on a Mack. There isn’t a place there for a tank. I have plenty of room on frame rails on top.

Potentially both.
I think the limit on transporting diesel before you need hazmat is 119 gallons. Would it be legal to permanently mount something like this 110...

I don't think it will come apart. I have piece of heavy equipment with a CAT engine that runs at 2200 RPM all day. I just know the engines in our...
Do the make tires taller than what I have now? I don’t know. That would effectively change the ratio. The low hole gear I have honestly never...
Right now my MPGs average low 4s. If I regeared and got it down to say 1300 at highway speed would it make a significant difference?
I’m no expert I’m really asking here but my observation is I have 18 gears and use half of them by the time I am going 15 mph and am turning too...
Slowing down isn’t really an option. I travel in a convoy with a bunch of pickups to job sites and they want to go the speed limit.
You may have a valid point. Another issue is i can’t drive a full ten hours without needing fuel. It would be really nice if I could extend my...
I have a particular load that I haul on a tandem flatbed 90% of the time that grosses 65k. I scaled it and rounding to the nearest thousand I am...
I have a Mack day cab with the MP8 505HP / 1860 TQ and an 18 speed with 11R24.5 rubber. Gears are 3.79. I am in Texas and most roads I drive on...
