Let us know what you find. I have an '07 single axle Freightliner with a Mercedes 12.8 and 6 speed Allison. It runs fine grossing 65,000 with a 28' trailer. Rated at 370 hp, and I've been told it can go to 410. I've thought about adding a small pusher axle and going to a 34' trailer, but not sure if it will slow it down a lot. Would be adding about 10,000 to the gross.
