    That kinda depends...

    My tractor is specialized for "heavy haul" ( very heavy.(23K lbs)..four
    axel...big engine...lotsa gears).....and I get about ten mpg "bob-tail".....

    A typical freight hauler like the Volvo VN might get a little
    better....perhaps twelve....maybe a bit more.
