Fuel Saving Strategies for Truckers

Fuel can eat 30% or more of your revenue. Small habits add up to big savings over a year.

Drive smart

Maintaining steady speeds, reducing idle time, and using cruise control on flat terrain all improve MPG. Slowing down by even a few miles per hour noticeably cuts fuel burn.

Maintain the truck

Proper tire pressure, clean air filters, and timely maintenance keep efficiency high. Underinflated tires alone can cost you real money per tank.

Use fuel programs

Fuel cards and network discounts, combined with planning fuel stops in low-tax states, reduce your cost per gallon. A dispatcher can help route you through favorable fuel markets.
