Re: 1700 Miles On A Tank I know that, was just pulling numbers.
When I was still in the Nursery Business, I hauled my own stock to my customers up and down the I5 corridor from Frisco to Canada. Every extra pound of dead weight was money out of my pocket in extra fuel.
My trailers were custom built light, yet very strong. I pulled with a F350 Diesel with the 7.3l. I did have 2 tanks, but cannot recall the total gallons. It did not matter, as I fueled at card-lock stations, of which there were many to choose from. My total weight many times was over 18k. Of course all the hardware was capable of more.
At the height of the busy season I leased and drove Freight Trucks [not u-hauls], equipped for the job at hand. |

| Forgot to add in the cost of product. 1000 pounds of extra plants moved equal $600 to $800 added to the invoice. |

kudos:4 | You're forgetting that time is money for many people too. Not stopping every 300-400 miles is money saved. Of course that is assuming their bladder will hold out.  |
