O/O running a day cab.

I will tell you that I have a 2005 freightliner columbia with 1 100 gallon tank, I scale full of fuel at 15760.He has an International 9500 I believe with 2 150's and he scales out at 19500. I have a Detroit 12.7 he has a cat C-15 if it matters.

 

Apples to oranges then. If your buddy pulled off his bunk he still wouldn't be the empty weight you are.

 

In Baltimore is there really a lot of freight to be had where it would benefit you? I know Cowan runs vans and that is their big claim is to have the lightest trucks around, I live around the corner from them. The only freight that I would think would show much additional profit would be dump trailer or tanker hauling. Just another thought, if you like a lot of time off and don't mind expensive repair bills there are a ton of prostar flat top sleepers for sale real cheap, 2011-13's going from anywhere from 40k to 50k. ( that last part was just sarcasm ) I know they are pretty light weight.

Tankers in Baltimore pays the most money and I'm not talking about gasoline but rather chemical tanker.
