The 98 9400 i was driving there for a while on the over sized stuff with the 3406 E turned up somewhere around 740 so they say with 3.90 gears on tall 24.5's in the summer months would do .6.5 to 6.7 everyday running hard , when winter came and the truck running 24-7 i was still getting decent mileage between 5.9 and 6.2 . running heavy most of the time . Only light loads if you want to call them light were the New Gradalls at around 48-49 grand but still was and over load due to light weight. The OLD Cummins stayed around 5.5 to 5.8 and that was a bunch better then the days with the 318 and a avg of 3.7- 4.2 and a gallon a day on oil . Back in the early coal hauling and only running about a max of a 100 miles one way We would normally burn around a 120-150 gallon of fuel a day and a gallon of Delo 100 30 weight , Come in at night and stuf the two hoses in the tanks and go fetch a gallon of oil then thump tires and check the coolant . Then ya may need to adjust brakes . Back in the fun/ outlaw days we had a blast and it was a competition on who had the running trucks , who hauled the big Jag's , that title went to Big D Martin when he bought the 34 foot City Welding trailer with three on the ground and a forth on air and twin 12 inch HyCo scopes in the nose . And a new 359 Pete up ft with a 1693 Cat cranked up from day one . He loaded a load of Manginess ore out of the Revenna arsenal that was a foot over top the boards on a 6 foot deep trailer and had to be split weighed at S H BELL on scales that went to 160000 lbs and pegged the scales then found out even with the twin scopes he could not lift the load and they had to clam off half before he could lift it and dump. I worked for Big Dee and he told you when you started he did not want to see any bills come in the office with less then 35 ton Tat day he put the super charge on i was pulling out as he was coming in to load and asked me if i had enough on because he could not see it i had the 32 foot City with and air axle lead on the tri . I was about half full up the 6 foot sides and had 65 and a half ton on. I was glad it was going DOWN to the river and not try bring that up off the river since them hill coming UP off the river were Steep .
