    And that's all that matters is that you're happy. Some jobs work great for one guy but not another.....that's the way it goes.

    I usually drive between 64-67. Depending on how tight the load is, or what i have after, i still get good fuel mileage.

    I've always felt like that, there is no such thing as the perfect job, in any industry. OTR jobs are alot alike in so many ways, but whatever works for any particular driver is all that matters!

    2013 T660 . Over the " long haul " it averages 7.1 . I know a guy who never resets his trip , at 200 k miles he's at 7.1 ha ha . So all terrain , weather , weight considered that's where its at but I always pull 8 to over 9 in Nebraska in good weather and Cali on stretches of the 5 and 99

    Cummins 450 @ 1800 ft lbs torque
    And 13 speed
