Every operator in this country must be abusing their engines . Try pulling 250,000 lbs and keep those temps . Not everyone is pulling pillows around with an isx

Just stating this here for reference:

I don't back out of mine until I see the manifold get to about 950-F.

I also don't drive my truck hard, so it is not very often it gets that high.

As far as engine abuse in your country ... As long as you get paid more for hauling more, and it covers any expected shortened engine life for doing so, that is how some people have to manage things. - Not sure about Aussie land, but over here, even the heavy haul guys do not get paid squat nothing any more these days. All the heavy haul markets are just about washed out. It really is not worth sacrificing lifespan of the equipment for those few extra $$$, the numbers do not add up.
