I Found Out The Secret

Ok the secret is.........

Bobtailing for 200 miles 😂😂😂😂

That’s a great way to do it!

I'll raise ya one.

KY to TX hauling beverage artificial flavors and additives.

Met a Prime L/O @ the Antioch, TA, that got 11.4. Just ran lower midwest cause he lives in TN. He said he only drives @ 54 mph.

Running at lower speeds is definitely the number one contributing factor to an increase in mpg. I always try to run slow as long as the load timeline allows for it.

I won't even bother telling what my fuel economy is lol.

Oversized, flatbed, and heavy haul......Hmmmm.... I’ll guarantee it is not in the same ballpark as those of us doing box trailers.

5 maybe 6mpg lol.

But that’s lots of free showers at the truck stops!

I use Loves and Kwik Trip the most but you're right lol. Our 4 and 5 axle trucks average around 4mpg with the equipment they pull.

Geez! What'cha hauling? Small towns?! Lol

Keep in mind, mpg is only one aspect. The other is net fuel.costs. How many miles out of route did you drive? How long did you idle? What was the fuel.price? What state for the tax?

You can have great fuel mileage but if you arent keeping track of the other things, the fuel costs can be much higher.

For any of you Primates who dont know, we have a phone app feature that gives us the net costs per mile, and our rank in various categories.

Daniel started driving on Thursday, so he did just over 2000 miles and had a net cost of 5.2cpm, and got us ranked 7 on my fleet board and 433 in all of reefer. Yes, he drove slow lol. But i watched our fuel costs too.
