Bottom line is castrating the trucks saves absolutely zero fuel. Oh sure they can run around with their red F-150 and blow up balloons touting that the slower speeds save fuel but they are only fooling :a) themselves and b). the people that are stupid enough to buy their bs propaganda. Not to mention that with 3 mph difference the truck is on the road 30 minutes longer....burning fuel of course.
Also don't let these wizards of smart fool you into believing that "oh the cost of fuel is killing us". That is simply not true. Yes it is killing us as consumers because we pay for these higher fuel costs but Averitt has a dynamic fuel surcharge.
They pay one individual a salary in corporate to look at the national average fuel cost daily and adjusts the fuel surcharge accordingly. It's not costing Averitt Jack Sh*t regardless if the fuel price is $1.50 per gallon or $7.50 per gallon. You and me, the consumers of the goods, are paying this price.
DON"T BELIEVE THE LIES
