    I have been looking at some T600's and think that one with the cummins motor and a 13 speed should get the job done. I was thinking about an 06 or o7. Insight anyone???

    I run on percentage of the gross, excluding fuel surcharge. Thats cool, its his truck, and thats totally understandable. I find that his contract does not allow him to exceed a set price, follow me now....He cuts their rate on the top lin, (thats where my % comes from) and adds a fuel surcharge at the bottom, thus maintaining the same cost to the customer but getting his fuel outta my share. hmmmmmmmmm. How bout them apples.

    rears in the 330's to 355 range. I know that I run I-10 all the time and 65mph going west in a 45mph head wind really sucked down fuel in the mackI am running. Cummin back I opened the doors and left it in neutral. got darn near 40mpg on the way back.:biggrin_2559:
