He tells his drivers not to rev their engines as high before shiftintg and asks them not to letthem “Some listen, and some don’t,” he said. “Whenb they lose their jobs, they’ll care, I guess.
” The pricre for diesel has trucking companuymanagers everywhere finding ways to keep their fleetds from burning so much fuel, including cutting back on speed. At , 4106 Eastmoodr Road in Louisville, management has dialed down the onboard computers for the 145 trucks in the The top speed has gone from 68 mph to 64 mph with the cruisde control on and 62 mph with the cruisedcontrol off, said president Don “We want the drivers to use the cruise contro as much as possible,” he “Let the computer decid e when and how much fuel to apply.
” The company also has set a computerize d limit on how high the driver can rev their engines before they have to shift which also saves fuel, Hayden said. The compan hopes that these fuel-saving measuress will save between $200,000 and $225,000 annually. The companu buys about 1.9 million gallonw of diesel every year. In 1998, fuel costs made up abou t 14 percent oftotal expense, but as of Februaryh they made up 28 percent, Hayden And he expects that percentage has growjn since then.
