<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ironpony, post: 2792784, member: 10696&quot;]It&#039;s not so much your truck as it is the lousy aerodynamics you get with open deck loads. It is what it is. Reefer guys have an opportunity to excel here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those numbers also show you why the company is so hot about fuel economy... call it 3500 reefer trucks times a conservative $10,000 in savings per truck over what we used to do (average 5.5 mpg fleet-wide before the fuel program)... that&#039;s not chump change. There were THOUSANDS of trucking businesses that went out of business when the fuel spike hit $4.85 per gallon in 2008, including some big ones. We&#039;re not that far off of that price now. Some of the recent failed carriers should be familiar... Atkinson Freight Lines out of Bensalem, the outfit that used to run the yard in Chicopee MA where we got our washouts - are recent victims of the ol&#039; right foot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
