<p>[QUOTE="Big Duker, post: 1125774, member: 10588"]Know your pain. I have been hauling 12' x20' or 25' tanks. Two tanks extendable step . 2 tanks per load. Only weigh from 22k to 28k. But into a wind kills mileage. Tailwind can help though. just not enough tailwinds. I was working on some type of fairing or tarp but they often put the steps and other hardware on upper deck. Was going to put on the back but then length would go over 90' and take escorts in many states. Been driving mainly a 470 Det. Can get 6.5 with wind. About 5 -5.5 into good headwind. Normally just slow down a little and it seems to help when fighting it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
