Give me your route and I'll tell you where you need to stop. If I'm not mistaken the tank is 55 gals which means you need to stop every 200 miles - you can't run diesels dry like you can a gasser. Major problems ensue and you're on the hook for any damages.

I don't see a Penske drop location for Medina, just one for Fargo.

I'm looking at all options for my move from Jacksonville, FL to Sacramento, CA. Looking at the Penske 26' (I'm assuming it is diesel). What can I expect; not too familiar with diesels.

If you google it, a calculator will come up for those large moving trucks. We used it for the uhaul and it was pretty accurate.
