    Correct.
    Instead off that MX 13 you should have bought a MX11.

    Do your drivers idle a lot?

    yes - Idle time 1.5 - 2 hours actually the MX13 is a tanker that carries approx 4,000 gal of oil and is pumped into customer tanks.
    The truck weighs just under 20,000 empty weighs another 30,000 when full. Total approx 50,000
    MX 11 would have done the job
