Many of us run just two batteries, myself included.

When it gets cold, two might be marginal. But generally two is fine.

Buying group 24, 31, 4d and 8Ds from your local cummins, freightliner or mack will be generally cheaper than regular auto part stores. They also have an 18mo to 24mo warranty over the 1yr warranty oreillys, napa and carquest give

My local mack sells 2yr warranty exide group 31s for $78 ea
