The truck also idles when waiting to be loaded and unloaded. On top of that, truck idles for my 8 hr resets. The trailer I pull is just a chassis, but the box that goes on it is like a wind sail. It sits about 15-20’ behind the cab. I still manage to get an average of 4.5 mpg.

if your a lot of stop and go... city and local .. then a set of 4.36's do wonders for that.
