Have you been over to the other CAD forum to read the TMC thread? Interesting to hear what the drivers had to say about the fuel mileage on their 387's compared to their 379's.

I quit after the first 107 pages...LOL.
IIRC, the 387's were getting worse mileage than the 379's. They said they were heavier than the 379's. TMC trucks are governed quite low IIRC, so drag may be less of an issue. Also, as you know, TMC is a flat bed carrier, so there is less need for the "condo". But the 379's must suck fuel because they have long hoods. Actually, I have hood envy because we have a T600, T800, T660 & (2) T2000's , so all I need to complete the collection is a W9.....and a K100 Aerodyne. Long live the hood.

I honestly don't. I've only driven one Mack in my life (a whopping 180 miles or so), and I remember nothing about it.
