    Well Brick ended up the trailer is leased/rented to the company so have to pay the $400 monthly, but, do not have to pay mileage still great deal.

    This shows how different the little carriers get charged 3-4 times a larger carrier.

    from what i've managed to gather on the forum it's illegal if it's electric over air controlled, but legal if it's air over air controlled. or vice versa, i'm still tryin to get to the bottom of it..

    What kind of fuel mileage are you getting pawnd? I've got an '03 t600 with the same MBN motor pulling 53' dry van. Only difference between my truck and yours is I don't have any kind of fairing on top of the sleeper to push air over the trailer and my rears are lower 3:70's. If I kept the cruise on 67mph 1500rpms when it was turned up to 525hp it would get 5.7 or so. I cut it back to 475hp after replacing a cracked head and now I'm lucky to get 5.2 just curious how yours does. It'll do 5.9 if I run 65mph but it's a pain running that slow. I'll never own another Cat I can see that already. Ten years of running ISX's in company trucks and I never had to baby them to easily get over 6mpg sometimes even 7mpg. They pull hills better too.
