I'm not a full time truck guy with intimate knowledge of the business, but I would think that there would be a balance between more horsepower for better productivity (speed on hills) versus fuel economy. When I used to drive dump truck, being the new part time guy I was always stuck in an older, lower powered truck. Talking to some of the old guys who drove the newer, more powerful ones, they would say that they really wouldn't get any more work done, just burn more fuel and wear out drive tires faster.
