    Hard to tell to be honest mate.
    On this trip alone, it went from high 5's to mid 6's. RGN grossing @70k lbs IIRC.
    My overall average this year is 6.34, which is pretty darn good considering what I haul! That is on actual hub miles, not paid etc.
    The blades stopped a while back, now back to my RGN, which is a releif to be honest. After putting up with all the BS for most of the year, it is nice to not have to worry about anyone else for a while!

    Yep, US Express truck. Pulling power is fine as long as the EGR's are both working correctly. I have had to replace my drive shaft bearings, a brake cam shaft, two steer axle airbags, and two drive axle brake chambers, plus three EGR's. But overall, not a bad firsts truck.
     
    The Challenger Thanks this.

    7.5 average for the year. 2011 Freightliner Cascadia DD 15 Detroit. 48 foot flatbed spread axle all kinds of freight. Basically I drive at the 58 to 59 all the time loaded or MT. Have a EPU on the truck so basically no idling.
