Hi Guys
Interesting reading here.
Irish guy here. I drive a 2013 Scania R620 Topline. I was just looking at the Mack website and they all seem to have smallish engines/power. What is the max weight which you haul over there?
Here in Ireland we can carry gross weights up to 46,000kgs(101.413LBS) . Roughly a payload of 30,000kgs. This is using a 3 axle twin steer truck + 3 axle trailer with super single tyres.
You see, european trucks are small in every way compared to the US trucks, this is mainly because the country roads and towns are very small.
Another question: Fuel economy of the average Highway semi in USA? Roughly 8.6 - 8.9mpg here, this would be a combination of 30% hills and 6% flat road + 5% down .
