Company wants to turn down trucks to 62mph to save on fuel, prices are so high these days, my question is how many companies plan to do something like this..... 65 to me was slow enough now 62... next will be 58

I was wondering when this one would be mentioned... I work for the same company, interesting that you didn't mention it's name

[Evinrude]

are they willing to give your more cpm to compensate for your loss of pay?

[Sealord]

Don't sweat it, it's been done before, as recently as the mid 90s. BOL

Swift will be turning all company trucks down from 65mph to 62mph until the fuel prices come down.

Other companies will probably follow suit.

if 3mph cost you that much money that you need a raise then may i suggest another proffesion!!!

Turn them down! Finally, I will be able to pass some other trucks out there...

[BigDawg]

until the fuel prices come down.

and you really believe that the prices are coming down,hmmmm you must know something the rest of us don't do tell.

[CrazyTulip]

Well...turn it down or lose your job cause your employer can't afford it anymore? What do you want?

Put a kid through collage.

Btw that doesn't mean next year they won't bring it down to 55mph, and they will if they can keep getting cheap labor.


About a profession thing!!! dont you have to have a profession to leave a peofession. If I had a profession I would not be driving a truck.
