...with a 1995 Peterbilt 379 with 600hp 3406e, 10 speed 3.73 gear ratio...

I run with a guy with a very similar set up. We typically fill up very close to each other when running hard. The difference...I usually put $325-340 while he puts $550-$575.

- I run 62-63mph vs. him running 70-75mph
- Aero Cascadia w/Cummins vs long nosed Pete w/Cat

Load pays the same regardless of time. Usually have 12-15hrs notice of delivery for a 150mi load, so why rush, burn fuel, and beat on the truck... to each there own I guess.


I agree VOLVO, that truck @ 70+mph is NOT getting 7+mpg. Maayyybbeee 6 flat depending on load and conditions, but it's not defying physics just cause someone claims it does lol
