I drive am automatic Freightliner class 8 tractor. I have slowed my speed to 62 and get 7.5 MPG carrying 76-78,000 gross weights. I stay away from NE and Western states due to mountains, tolls, cost of diesel fuel - all the things in this greatly affect performance of tractors.... Put a Tesla in the mountains with 78,000 lbs gross as my load of Pepsi is right now and watch if it can pull for 200 miles - I assure you it cannot due to battery drain... New business idea is put a gas fueled charger on a truck to he recharge these tractors and haha electric cars and trucks to make a financial killing.
