hi all just curious if any one here has pulled a pup trailer behind a tandem truck i am thinking about getting one to pull behind my tandem and some fellows here say that you can double your pay load for about a quarter more of fuel use there saying if my tandem burns 20 gallons to make one trip without a trailer then it will only take about 25 gallons when pulling a pup behind any thoughts? thanks ross in ns

A semi gets 5-9 mpg pulling 80,000lbs so figure it from there .

I think that it would ultimately depend on the motor in your truck. For example I think that if you had a 400 Cummins in one tandem grain truck and a 6v71 Detroit in another the Cummins would pull an additional 500 bushels or so easier than the Detroit would simply becuase it is a larger engine.
