    Downhill, a tailwind, loaded heavy... Probably about the same rate of fuel consumption as idling.... Lol

    I wonder if he’ll loose the ability to have a CDL?

    Not in New York State. I mean the guy was noticeably mad about it cause he asked 3 times what I had on to which the answer was cows…I mean they was looking at him. He let me deliver them too. Which contrary to popular belief he did not have to do. Bout got it worked out to a substantial donation to Allegany county, and a parking ticket. Wasn’t cheap, wasn’t easy, and I’ll probably never go back there on the off chance….

    Yeah but look at it like this, he only burned that fuel in 1/2 the time, so it was actually 7 mpg. :D:p

    Every time I ran 85 mph PLUS, I started thinking about "what would happen if a Steer explodes", or "What might go sideways if 2 left Drives exploded" or "What if the red trailer air line severed (from the outside sleeper creep fiddling with swinging things)?
    Usually at NIGHT but sometimes in Daylight and like on I-80 in WY., or dropping outta Flagstaff westbound and dropping a c.d. but NOT attempting to access it.
    How about if the front driveshaft u-joint separates?
    Would that cause a soiled pants problem?

    Things that kept me from rolling 100 mph in 70' combo units.
    CHEERS!!
