A 13 speed is basically a nine speed with the option of splitting the gears on the top side. How I drive this one... depends on a number of things. If I'm loaded heavy and/or pulling a hill, I'll be more prone to splitting the gears as I up and downshift. If I'm empty, I usually won't push the splitter forward until I'm in the Top Gear.

What is the fastest street legal semi truck?
The speed of a semi truck is determined by the powerplant, transmission, and rear end gear ratios. Take three trucks.. let's say, in this case, three Freightliner Classic XLS... they have the same motor, same transmission, but different rear end gear ratios. One truck has 3.36 rear ends, one truck has 3.70 rear ends, and one truck has 4.11 rear ends.. the truck with the 4.11 rear ends would be the slowest of the three, but better suited for particularly heavy loads. The truck with 3.36 rear ends would be the fastest. The fastest truck I've ever driven was a Peterbilt 389 with a Cummins Select 600 horsepower motor, 13 speed Eaton Fuller transmission, and 3.25 rear ends. It was capable of doing over 140 Miles Per Hour.

How many HP is needed at the axle of a semi truck?
Rating HP at the axle depends a lot on the type of engine, trans and gear ratios of the rear ends. Most over the road trucks today will have any where from 300 to 450 HP at the rear wheels. The truck I own and drive has a C-15 550Hp Cat with a 13 speed trans and 3.36 rear ends. The ECM had been reworked and it now puts out almost 800Hp at the flywheel giving it 675Hp at the wheels
