    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Seems to be what they did to this 780 here. https://www.expeditersonline.com/expeditetrucks/show.php?id=2318&category=&make=VOLVO&model=&srt=added%20DESC&p=25&location=&submit=Search&page=1 That truck seems to be about 10k overpriced. I think it has been for sale forever. I wonder how much it...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    A VN 670 with sleeper already in place with a d11 powerplant would be awesome but I hear they make a d13 in a 375 hp engine. Only 50 hp more then the d11.. mpg seems it wouldn't be that far off. I doubt you an order a vn 630 or 670 in a straight truck version.

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    That is a lot of miles you put on your truck already, must have had it out to the west coast a few times. I think for expediting all you would need is the d11, they make different horsepower versions of each engine according to the website the lowest is 325hp. What would the average load weight...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Nice those rigs are pricey but that seems to be just how much they cost.. without a sleeper. Do you have any pics of your rig? I take it you have a volvo straight truck...

    Volvo D11 Eco-Torque or Paccar PX-6, which has best economy?

    Anyone looked into these? I think it would be nice is someone was running a newer t270 px6 or hybrid or a volvo VNM64T200. In the end it should be about fuel economy. If anyone is I would like to know more about your MPG and also what is required to convert the volvo over to a expeditor with...

    November Locations

    Just drove through Chatanooga... got a 8am drop in Gainesville GA then over to Atlanta for a load either to Tx Kansas or anything that direction, trying to get home. I can sleep in anything 40 degrees or warmer.. no heat or insulation yet in the sprinter :/

    Straight Truck "cross wind" question

    Had a straight truck been the 4th truck in the line, this thread would be resolved :rolleyes:

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Sounds like you're staying busy... who are you running for on the front range? (sounds like quicksilver possibly?) I might be able to send a few contacts your way if you're looking to stay regional and instate for the time being until you get your sprinter. :)

    Davek I noticed you mention plan b in one of your other post here can you brief on that a little? All advice appreciated http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/panther-expedited/53713-panther-deceit-2.html

    Guess if you're a small fleet owner you can position trucks around the country and fly into the cities with the best freight. Cheaper then deadheading with diesel at 4.25 a gal and easy couple hours and you're there!

    I take it you drive a straight or tt... good to hear from local drivers on this matter :) What carrier are you with?

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Dispatchers are telling me that the El Paso area is pretty dead for CV's. Any other border city besides Laredo that is relatively busy?

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Purgoose.. I hear El Paso is hit or miss aka pretty dead... OKC and Dallas would be nice but a good long ways of deadhead compared to Topeka KS. I'm a t1n sprinter owner operator (If I don't own it I won't drive it) based out of Denver working for PantherExpedite. The worst part about it is I...

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Thanks everyone for the advice... KC is pulling one plus cargo van load a day. Denver is averaging 1 per week. I've been waiting here for a load for the last 13 days. I turned down a a load to Billings yesterday. I heard it's not a good area to go. Deadheading a little or doing a empty move...

    They all seem to be located on this site. American Courier being one of the larger ones. What/where is the hook, must be a code name for a truck stop? :) Denver Courier Service

    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    oh man! that's no good to hear :confused: I had a big load last Tuesday going to Nashville but they canceled it because I was 45 min behind schedule (deadheading into New Mexico) and I ended up having to turn around in Pueblo CO to go home. What city did you relocate to?? Only option closest...
