Fireman, how big is your dozzer? What brand?
I haul all over the state with my rig.
2005 Silverado 3500 diesel, single rear wheels.
9900 GVW truck, 24000 GVW trailer.
Max legal trailer load is 18000 lbs. I have had up to 23000 lbs. on her.

Mostly flat lands in FL. Some bridges and hilly parts I slow down a bit. The Sun Shine Sky Way bridge in Tampa towing a 2.5 ton army truck I start out at 65 after the toll booth, by the time I am at the top I am doing 45 mph.
No chips or mods on my truck!
I am looking to get a Pete 330. Half for the sleeper, half for the power and fuel millage.
Empty trailer I get 12 mpg. Loaded some times as low as 6 mpg.
