    Idling keeps engine warm so no issues starting if the temp drops too low that's why the idle allowance is there below 28. The trucks have separate bunk heaters also if you want to roll the dice with your truck starting if the temp really drops while you are sleeping.

    Some of our trucks do 90 but unless you live in Minneapolis and want to do fuel and drive 20 year old trucks you’re probably not gonna work for us. Lol

    I think Kennesaw Transportation trucks run 70-72, and has teams as well as solos

    If that’s a 20 year old 379 that’s in nice shape then I’d be all fornit

    Nope, 20 year old #### spreaders with series 60 in them with cranked up boost.

    Leaking windshields and mis matched mirrors and all.
     
    Rugerfan Thanks this.

    I don't think they can do that.... I am able to run 70 And they seem to not just by estimation not running more then 65 US78/I22 I dang near run them over. And I usually don't run more then 65-67 through there.
