New efficiency stuff

Anybody know what mpg they are expecting to get on these trucks? When I sat down with Kermit, he's making it seem we should be running 8-9 MPG.
My truck has never run that high except when I am deadheading. I just ran from Oregon to Georgia in 4 days in 4 non stop driving days.
Cruise was at 57 mph, didn't go out of cruise except for downshifting on hills and traffic, carrying 43000 in the box. Each day I was 6.5 or lower MPG. I practice progressive shifting, though I have some blown shifts occasionally, but being on cruise as much as I was I don't see how I could get it
higher. Meanwhile I get Qualcomm messages about not driving properly.

I don't get it, we are already the slowest company, and now they want us to go slower. What do you normally get and how do you get it, cause I don't understand this.

Thanks

 

I was doing a test, keeping Rpms under 1300 as much as possible to see what my best MPG would be according to what they told me.
BTW the company speed limit is now 59 MPH (55 in CA and OR) in case you haven't sat in on Kermit's class in Brooks, which (I'm told) everyone
will have to take. Also more detailed tattlers are supposed to be installed in every truck soon.

 

Not costing me anything, had plenty of time to make delivery in Tampa on Monday, and I don't GAS about saving May money, I care about not getting hassled by my terminal manager.

 

Kermit told me that in class

 

Everything you say is true, except that logistics isn't on top of thing enough to keep me rolling at max efficiency. As it is, I average about
2500 miles a week, which is fine with me. Whenever I have tried to run super hard, I just ended up with more waiting time. Now I get to my
deliveries 1-2 hours before appointment time and usually have a preplan before I make delivery.
