New Peterbuilt Class#8

[BillChaffey]

There is a commodity Company in Mt Grove\Norwood Mo. They have purchased #75 new Peterbilt class #8 tractors. i don't know how many have been delivered. I have seen a few on the roads locally and been behind one that was Bob tailing.There is no visible exhaust stack(s). Are they under the frame?

Yes. Very common.
More so the last few years.
Cheaper, lighter.

Much like the kw I'm driving and the cascadia before this one. Doesn't have anything to do with cheaper and lighter, just all the emissions stuff. This is very much the new thing now with these trucks to use the "grass burner" system.

Who is the company in mountain grove bill? I live about 40 miles from there.

 

[zorry]

I'll argue the cheaper, lighter point.
Also more aerodynamic.

Those that want macho will still pay for twin stacks.

 

[BillChaffey]

Thanks to both. Grissom Farms. (sp) Make that Grishom, I think.
