Jayden71 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 So, I have been with my current employer for a little over a year and half now and been in the same truck for that time. 2 weeks ago on the way up from Salt Lake I gotta message that I was to move my crap from current truck #74 to brand new truck #114. Yeah I was pretty happy. Its a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia that had 24 miles on it when I "moved" into it. 2 weeks later, now, it has 4500 miles on it :) . Here some oics a few interior shots. This truck is pretty sweet! Very quiet and quite smooth ride. Engine oics....Detroit Diesel 15L 500HP 1850FT Lbs of torque!! Coupled to a Eaton Fuller 13 speed double over transmisson for some serious hill climbing power!! :D I am generally haulin some pretty serious loads, usually 95,000 to 106,000LBS! On relatively flat freeway I get 5.7 to 6.5 mpg. In the hills it will drop to 4.9 to 5.5. How bout some tires...445/50/R22.5s!! HELL YEAH!!!! $1300 a piece!! Machine polished Durabright coated alumminum rims...before wash after some soap and water :D Disk brakes?? Nah I got 8 wheel drums on the truck and 8 more on the trailer with ABS and traction control. Well there she is. I am in this thing from Sunday afternoon till Friday afternoon. I do get home sometimes during the week for a night or two. I usually knock out anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 miles in that time up here in the great northwest. 2 Quote
KC Phirus Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 OLLZ it gets better fuel mileage with a one hundred thousand pound load than my Jeep does empty! What's your yearly income drivin rigs? If you don't mind me asking. Quote

What's your yearly income drivin rigs? If you don't mind me asking. Well, my wife does not work, we are a 1 income family. It supports us pretty well. Not gonna get rich by any means. You can make 35-50k a year depending on what type truck you drive, reefer, flatbed, tanker etc. I did 48 state for a while and for a married guy with kids it sucks. They give you 1 day off for every 7 worked, that blows. Quote

albyneau Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 :lol:4500 miles in two weeks? What's the holdup...? :lol: Sorry~ no insult intended. Kaye typed this in quoting my sarcastic quip passing by. Grew up in a family trucking business doing short-haul, doing 600 miles/day at times. Quit driving in 86~ yet still have just shy of 2,000,000 miles under my belt. I'm guessing with such a cushy ride you're gonna WANT to rack up some miles with this rig~! Peace~ Scott Quote

Jayden71 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 very nice i love it, do those single tires actually help with fuel mileage? clean truck too looks comfortable The "super singles" do help with fuel mileage. Something like 5-7%. When you multiply that by 50 trucks or so, it does make a difference. They also save weight over a set of duals. Those 4 single rims weigh about 500 pounds less than 8 regular rims. Quote
