His followers are easy to spot though normally....
Look for the fleet spec Crapcadia's, Prostar's, etc.

I find it hard to laugh at the mentally incapacitated~ at least in person I can lmao and walk away; as I dont have to watch others begin to believe in the things that are regurgitated (often slightly incorrectly) and assigned not as opinions but as fact. Similar to watching a conversion to a religion: that is based on someone's opinion of what color socks to wear on tuesdays.
lol guess I've dealt with enough know-it-alls for a lifetime hahahaha -
well, at the risk of getting put on several people's ignore list, I shelled out $200 for the KR scanguage about a month ago. lol, I really like it ! my truck didn't have full gauges though, for instance did not have boost or exhaust temp. now I can get that through the scanguage and it's kind of fun just to have another toy to tinker with while driving. I dunno, maybe microblue bearings next ?

Nothing wrong with those trucks. But pulling an open deck it doesn't matter what kind of truck or how aerodynamic it is. Your furl economy is going to hover around 5-6 (no need for a debate) but to say that cutting overhead and raise fuel economy vs. High rates. Is asinine.

There's other kinds of scangauges out there
Soon as you start trying to say how running 3,000 miles a week for $0.91 is more profitable tho....lolpassingthru69, milskired, Cluck Cluck and 3 others Thank this. -
For CR, Swift, etc, I agree.....
Martin -
If a guy has a big fancy w900 leased to swift and another guy has a Columbia what's really the difference? Nothing
-
Never mentioned Columbia's I dont think. Crapcadia and Prostar are the new fleet junk trucks though, no denying it. Unless of course you want to deny it, seems this may be a touchy subject for you? Never mentioned Vulva's after all......

I gotta disagree with you Cluck, mileage varies a whole bunch with open deck depending on aerodynamics, wind conditions, speed, and weight. the load of plastic pipe I pulled out to Omaha with no wind I was getting 7.6 mpg, those utility trailers out of Missouri Valley I hit a bunch of wind and even though a light load mpg all the way down to 5.2 mpg. Most of the steel loads I haul even though heavy I'm gonna be in the 6.5 range.
I'm not gonna engage in a long fuel mileage discussion on this thread, we can do it in a seperate one if you want but the quick math is 7.6 mpg on $3.90 fuel is 0.51/mile, 5.2 mpg on $3.90 fuel is 0.75/mile. Do you want to make 0.24/mile extra ? I do.
