I saw on the NBC evening news that big truckers are now mandated by their companies to drive slower!!! What does this tell you?? One independent trucker said during an interview that he drives 55 now and estimates this saves him $8,000 a year in fuel.

We are now in survival mode. Slow it down guys!!
