Great to know others feel the same way I do... Companies always have the option to slow thier trucks down if they want as well...old-six-pack Thanks this.

Well, we have slowed down where I work, but I have to be honest here, I see NO big savings in fuel what so ever. It's about the same here as far as fuel being used.

I do not like baby sitter laws
Freedom does not always have to make sense
Its job is to exist !!!!!! -
I drive 60 mph in CA (don't narc me out to Smokey now) and when I run elsewhere I don't go crazy usually 70 tops. I get 5.9 MPG with that Pete so I'm not complaining.

There's a reason Ronald Reagan did away with the national 55 mph speed limit. It's not the federal government's responsibility. There's a reason we have state police forces and not an official US Federal Police. Yeah, we have the FBI and the CIA, but you won't see either of those organizations writing traffic tickets.
Baack Thanks this. -
Not yet, you never know lol..

The slower I go ,the less likely I am to get where I need to be and the more likely I'll be idling. I think the loss in revenue of half the drivers missing that last load will kill the company. The jury's still out on that one.
-
you know. it's really hard to decide how to save...every one has some good points....
-
on this load this saves fuel ,,then again something else saves fuel on the next load..i think we need to write a manual, look up what load we are pulling, and follow the steps for saving fuel on that particular load...............
