You're getting a good deal on that trailer rent if maintenance is included in that price.

 

did you get any push back from brokers about not having enough experience.

Was it difficult to get insurance? There have been few posts about getting crazy quotes because of no experience.

 

No credit check, no mileage limit, communal purchase then lease to member. Maintenance not included.

Once I'm done with it (or by my own), I pass it on to another member.

No pushback, no experience asked.

 

I would say most of the mileage penalty is the W9 as opposed to the CAT and possibly geared to short for a CAT. In my experience the W9 with side mounted stacks and air cleaners is the worst of the trucks aerodynamically.

In our pre-EGR/ Pre-ACERT engines our Aero Trucks had the 12.7 S60 S13 & 3.55 and 3406E/C15 S13 & 3.36 and fuel mileage was almost identical.

We even got upper 6's at 65 mph out of Mechanical CAT's in Aero Trucks.

 

Running what type of terrain and at what gross weights?

 

You ever run a w9 with the old style sleeper and try for mileage? I can get 6 with it but it involves speeding in most states.

 

What truck did you end up with and why?
