Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Wondering if you have ever tried putting the Airdog on your D13's? I think it may help out a little bit in 12th on cruise control on the smaller hills or even maybe with some wind. your thoughts?

 

Had a couple of O/O's that installed them (cummins), swore it helped but i couldn't ever see any difference in their settlements.

 

I see it helping out more on the downspeed setups but not a lot of information on our set up. I doubt I will set up on it unless I would to change RAR.

 

Is the margin so thin that 4 mpg is the difference between making it or not……?

I’m hearing 200K is the new base price for trucks…… that would buy a lot of fuel for a old truck…..

 

Still talking $800

Still it’s $800- $1000 per week difference. That’ll make quite a payment

 

what about the old guy who only does 70K miles a year with every load grossing 107,000 lbs……?

I don’t care what they say you ain’t getting 8-9 mpg hauling 100K lbs on six axles

 

How about what a potential railroad strike is gonna do to those build dates?

 

Wait and see is all we can do. If it happens, I’m sure it’ll adversely affect truck manufacturers and, ergo, us.
