Best Choice For New O/O, Questions

Thanks for the feedback, I had not thought about 46k rears to reduce the stress on the axle.

In regards to wheelbase and the gap between truck and trailer, I 'm wondering what might be considered ideal as far as mpg. Because I use hoses, I do need access to the rack, but I'm a bit unsure of how wide I can go before compromising overall maneuverability. There are a few customers with tight spaces.

Before I started driving, I thought I'd achieve some good numbers because the whole truck+trailer was shaped like a missile. But after driving for a while, I felt like there was some serious drag from the gap between truck and trailer and that was a major contributor to lower mpg. In the I-shift I averaged about 7.2mpg. In the AMT 660, I think my average was 6.8mpg.

Thanks again.
