Weight was prolly a push, as we removed as much as we added. But we never did do an exact former and after certified weights at a weigh station.
No special techniques when empty other then to be careful in slippery conditions and not use the engine brake. That would possibly induce a jack-knife.
Habits and Behaviors? Well, yeah. Cruise at 55 mph, operate the diesel engine between 1100-1250 rpm's exclusively, progressive shift, never idle, use a high percentage of cruise control, etc., etc., etc.
