30 day challenge

So is your time less valuable than you fuel cost, 52 mph seems really slow...I bet you could save lots of money if you got horse drawn wagon..

 

When it comes to fuel and costs,unfortunately, they are inseparable.

I can see country wide 55mph speed limits come back into vogue.

 

You'll do good Gator... when I'm rollin' along at 52 (and keepin' the highways clogged real good) I can be right up in the 8's. Unfortunately, I decided to deliver a day early this week (+$1600 on last week's settlement... hard to argue with) and last night's little "save some jerk FM's tookus load" ain't gonna get me up there this week.

 

You all need a new slogan"every second counts" just ain't right

Prime trucks are a mess they should get a ticket for doing 55 in a 75. Not only does traffic get a mess but if someone isn't watching right in back of u they go. Wanna save money don't lease the truck from a company

 

It's incumbent under the law for a faster vehicle to deal with traffic moving slower than them.

 

I like Prime trucks. They are the only ones I can pass. Honestly though, I am getting tired of driving 62 at the company I am with. Tired of feeling like I am in the way all day. I know saving fuel is important. But the extra 25 miles a day I could get running just a touch faster would get me home before I ran out of hours or get an extra load or 3 a month. I have seen some guys drive 60 to save fuel, then idle the truck all night in beautiful sleeping weather. Go figure.

 

It's nuts what some folks do, then just blow it away idling. As the price of fuel goes up, rates are not necessarily matching the increase. That 62 mpg gig may be the one that's around after the wide-open guys have bankrupted their employers. Prime went onto the fuel-savings jag early in the '08 - '09 fuel price spike, and has been doing very well since.
