slimeball, with that line of thought maybe they can turn the 65 trucks to 68 then they would run 65 and not 63 lol lol lol
I'm confused,,, there is way to much thought involed in this here thread. My head hurts. (Ok NO!!! comments from the p-nut gallery) As long as I can go by Big Bird i'm fine. BigW-RD

OK,im gonna pose a question alot of drivers would like some info on but are afraid of the answer.Are their any discussions on lowering the speeds of our linehaul fleet?
Below is an announcement sent out to the terminal managers this evening. I am posting it here in an effort to have as many drivers hear about it from us versus someone else.
**********************************
After much discussion and research, WTVA will begin turning back the speed governors on our fleet to 65 mph. Many of our units are already set at 65 mph and will see no change but a portion of our fleet has the governors set at 68 mph and these units will be turned down to 65 mph.
The adjustment has only been made on a few units at this time but over the following days and weeks you will begin to see many more units have the adjustment made to them. All new units being purchased will be delivered set at 65 mph. The continual record setting price of fuel has made this a necessity in order to improve fuel conservation and reduce our overall fuel costs.
Please communicate this change with your employee groups, especially the Road Drivers and Shuttle Drivers, since they are the ones who will experience the change.
**********************************
The question i am hearing from drivers is "What about fuel surcharge ? Does that not cover our fuel cost increase ?
I guess one way for me to look at it is i never made it to 68 mpg so it want change for me ,i can't miss something i never had but i do understand the frustration some drivers will have.
