In eu trucks are limited to 56mpg. In uk various companies impose their own limits. My large company 52-56. One large. Supermarket Tesco has some on 49.5mph

It must be a terrible existence living every day with fear that the worse can happen. Causes wonder as to why those people even get out of bed in the morning.Last edited: Sep 3, 2016
peterd Thanks this. -
A single rail car load of lumber can fill 4-5 trucks. A single train (two locomotives) can pull over 100 cars at a time. In today's market of such tight margins, it's hard to justify not using trains. -

Said it before and I'll say it again. That's why I don't understand O/O s pulling mega fleet trailers. Moving freight for the very people that are trying to put you out of business.
BoostedTeg, thejackal and Grumppy Thank this. -
Now that really makes a lot of sense. The carriers are trying to put the O/O's out of business, yet they continue to advertise for O/O's. If they were truly trying to put O/O out of business, then why not just have a uniform policy throughout all the ATA and TCA member carriers to not use O/O at all? That would knock out a large number of O/O real quick.
Some of you guys thinking on this truly is better than going to the comedy club. The twisted sense of logic is truly humorous. -
They use o/o because they've got it figured out it costs them less. You can do a bit better than a company driver if you operate your truck as efficiently as possible and also get lucky it lives for a long time without any very costly breakdowns. Look at how company drivers treat equipment compared to o/o. There's your cost right there.
