“Are premium drivetrain components justified for linehaul operations?”

Yes—premium drivetrain components are often justified in linehaul operations, but mainly when the fleet is high-mileage, fuel-focused, and built for long highway duty cycles. The strongest support for premium spec’ing is that linehaul trucks can benefit from components optimized for fuel economy, reduced maintenance, and durability, and downspeeding/efficiency-oriented setups are specifically recommended for true linehaul use.

Key reasons they can pay off:

Fuel economy gains matter most in linehaul because trucks spend much of their time at steady road speed; sources …
