Well, I guess the soaring fuel prices have finally caught up to us here at WARD. Just got word that as of Monday the company will begin turning all power units back to 64MPH from the already existing 68MPH. Any thoughts guys? I have heard many different opinions from "The truck will now be working twice as hard when pulling and you will use even more fuel doing that" to "If the truck is set from 64-68 you will get almost the exact same fuel mileage". I just get the feeling that they will try this little experiment and after a short period of time may end up turning them right back up again after seeing that they really aren't saving what they thought they might in fuel costs as well as the "Late Freight" problem to deal with as well. I know a few other companies have recently tried this as well and after a very short period of time ended up turning the trucks right back up to where they were originally set? Let me know!
