I guess what the bad part is. is the driver is always upset about someone in HIS truck trying to tell HIM what to do. I did this a few years ago, and the fleet fuel savings was about $2500.00 per week. It's just a territory issue , I think.
Nah..it's a you are taking money out of "my" pocket thing. Most of how to save fuel is common sense, but most drivers are paid by the mile so to take it more easy in the city and on the highway means the driver makes less money. You want drivers to save fuel, pay them by the hour, they'll slow right down and the take offs from stop lights and signs will be smoother than a baby's behind! :biggrin: Me..I drive hourly, so I drive the speed limit, I take off nice and easy, drive easy through town, use the cruise control all the time, because if I hurry I am taking money out of my pocket now as I would work less hours if I speed around. Also, not only does driving to save the company fuel cost most drivers money, but most companies also could care less about the drivers, so why would the driver care about your fuel bill? Unless monitored on GPS all day long and threatened with your job constantly, you'd say heck with it all, gee, even then if I was in that position I'd leave and go elsewhere no problem. And..if they are going to monitor you all day long, they have to hire someone to do so, and there goes most of your savings on fuel. So...I'm sure glad I don't have your job having to deal with us drivers! Wearing one of those boxing face protectors could be a good idea.
