Good fuel card

If not, then maybe the high fuel prices will kick em in the seat of their pants, convincing them into slowing down, using that boost gauge to help save fuel instead of trying to make more power, driving for better fuel economy, and ultimately being more safe!.

just a thought anyways.

Man, March was brutal for me. Midroof flatbed hauling ISO with many days of high winds and cold temps in the northeast. March had a lot of tanks in the mid to high 6's with a couple trips dipping into the high 5's through certain areas. April has been much better, back up to mid 7's. I've also been using cruise a bit more then I should and and running about 64 instead of 62 to stay within the HOS. Hate to burn more fuel, but the loads I'm getting more than make up for the losses, right now. The few non-ISO loads I've had while traveling 58-62 have been up in the 8's, but sadly they weren't as profitable due to the difference in rates.
