An Expediter Team Success Story
- Thread starter ATeam

A very good article. Key points I noticed included:
"We do a lot of fuel shopping online and we try to plan our runs in regards to the cost of fuel and fuel taxes.
"We have at least half our meals in the truck and we keep the motel visits down to a minimum."
"I do whatever PM on the truck I can do myself. We use Speedco for our oil changes and analysis. We keep our speed down to 65 mph and we diligently monitor our tirepressure."
Buying to maximize your fuel tax credits and not burning it off at high speeds will significantly increase your bottom line. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting this couple yet but hope I will some day.
