    If 6 MPG is the new normal for these new KW's, how on Earth is JCT getting anyone to drive them? I mean I know they're pretty to look at, but so is cash. 6 MPG's makes the 6.7ish the 13 KW's they've had look like Prius MPG's. With the FSC being so low, 6 MPG is going to starve drivers right out the truck ,and down the road from JCT.

    Everyone i talked to does well in the kws. I think its just the driver behind the wheel. But yet again that truck could have some type of glich messing with the mpg. But that's the first i heard of the new kw to get low mpg

    Yeah my dm is saying his driver's are getting 8s in the new kws on pump to pump at 70mph.

    Anyone have any luck in using outside fuel cards to get better discounts? Would we just need to send in fuel reciepts to make sure ifta gets paid? There is a couple I've looked at that is a fuel network where you pay no more than 5 cents over cost for fuel, mostly at ta/petro and other indi locations. Sometimes it gets you 5 cents off cash price, sometimes it gets you 30.
