8 bobtailing most guys I talk to are getting that hauling 60K + lbs. I was talking to a couple last night when I went to have coffee with my buddy and they said if they had a truck that got 8 empty they would return it as theres something wrong with it and they have never seen a truck get under 11 bobtailing unless there was something wrong or the driver was an idiot.

Well if you can get that out of a volvo or any class 8 truck for that matter dont get rid of it and I would love to see it. Never seen those numbers here. Fleet or Owner operator.
