Thanks guys. I should have singled out my highway tractor and kept it. But too late now.
I know a class 8 would be more reliable, but I'm trying to get an idea on the difference in fuel mileage, if the medium would be any better? I know I could have gotten 7 to 8 mpg with my 525 h.p. tractor pulling travel trailers.
Fuel is the big killer in this industry. There's not a lot of profit margin. Only reason I did it, is it is a lot less stress and bull than trucking.
A used toter like you showed me would be even more cost effective even.
I realize the fuel mileage is less than my F-350 but like I said, you have to factor in the cost per mile when repairs come into account.
Nice trucks there by the way.
