Maximizing Fuel Efficiency in Your Rig

Fuel is one of the biggest expenses in trucking, but with a few smart strategies, you can cut costs and improve efficiency.

Maintain Your Speed: 

Driving at a consistent speed, especially in the 55-60 mph range, can drastically improve your fuel efficiency. Sudden acceleration and braking burn more fuel than you might think.

Reduce Idling: 

While idling is sometimes unavoidable, excessive idling wastes fuel. Try to turn off your engine whenever you’re parked for more than a few minutes.

Making small changes can lead to big savings at the pump.
