    Back in 2000, when I bought my first Classic, I called highway sales. Werners used Truck Lot. I’ve mentioned this many times. At risk of being an aggravation. They told Me based on their fleet, of 3500 Trucks, the difference between the Century and Classic was a real .5 mpg. All things being equal, with12.7 Detroit’s. 6.5 vs. 7 mpg. He would have rather sold a Century, as they had more of them, and were a tougher sell. But suggested a Classic for better resale. I never did buy a Werner Truck. The choice was clear to Me though. I like the W9s, but they’ a lot more expensive. Resale value isn’t a real concern of mine. If it were, I wouldn’t buy a new Freightliner. Have to be a KW.

    Height is condo, depth is coffin. I'll post a picture in a few, and it's with my 5th wheel up over my front drive.

    Drop chains? Does that refer to putting them on or taking them off? Asking for a friend.

    Turbo wing on a mid roof usually gets you .5 mpg better economy. Looks cool too. Got to get the hood and fender ones too. Really looks good. I can’t imagine what they cost now. Upwards of $2k I’d guess. Easily Justifiable though.
