How to Choose a Prime Mover
- Trailer and gross weight: compare the combination weight you plan to pull with the truck rating.
- Engine power: compare horsepower and engine size across models for your routes and gradients.
- Transmission: more gears can help on loaded long-distance routes.
- Fuel tank capacity: a larger tank means fewer fuel stops on long routes.
- Cab and driver comfort: long routes put many hours on the driver, so ask about the cab.
