More great information!!

Fuel costs account for close to 25% of all expenses in the trucking industry which is by far the BIGGEST expense. One of the major factors in fuel consumption is you guessed it....speed. A truck moving at 70 mph consumes almost 26% more fuel than one at 65 mph which is at least 55-60 gallons more diesel fuel per week!
(Almost $10,000 more per year per truck)

Schneider National is one of the top 10 largest truckload carriers in the US with over 10,000 trucks on the road. They also represent one of the most financially successful companies in the industry. They govern their trucks BELOW 65 mph to save on fuel costs and also to promote safe driving.

The moral of the story, slow your trucks down for a couple of reasons.

1.) It’s safer. Most small fleets have drivers that are inexperienced and an 80,000 vehicle moving down the highway at 70mph is a risk.
2.) Save fuel costs. This means more money to the bottom line and allows you to scale quicker.
3.) As a company owner, safety should be your culture. We hear some of the most ridiculous excuses “the driver says he doesn’t want to be passed so much or it’s hard to merge in traffic, or it’s hard to make appointment times.” All poor reasons and the professional driver plans accordingly.
4.) And most importantly....THINK like a mega carrier and you will one day BE a mega carrier✊🏾
