Did you put the Transit in service yet?
Yes, ran the new Transit. First load was Wednesday morning. Second load was Friday afternoon. Carried 1,926# from Atlanta, through Chatanuga then north out of Nashville. Impressed that at 70+ mph with cruise control on, it never dropped down a gear going over all those low altitude mountains. Locked into 6th gear and just stuck there. Got acceptable fuel milage. Got 21+ below 65, 16.6 at 72-73 mph and trip average was 18.4 mpg. Handled the weight really well.
