Since so many operations are different, it's hard to say what is "good" to some might be horrible to others.
Equipment has a huge factor. If you are running a super light weight tractor and trailer with light loads on flat ground in 60 degree temps with no wind and alot of sunshine(just about every truckers dream load)
add a tri-pak generator....then your numbers are going to look great.
MPG depends on several factors like driving habits, tire pressure, rolling resistance, air resistance, time in each gear, size of the engine, gearing of the read-end, tire size, tread depth and design, how often you change your oil and, oddly, how much idle time you have.
Idle time depends on who long you allow the engine to run without being in gear. A generator will greatly reduce your idle time...down to 2 to 4 percent...which is warm up and cool down.
I'd to know much more to determine what good would mean to your trucking operation.
Good luck
