If a truck that is not a sleeper is idling
for more than five minutes, the device
can automatically shut off the engine.
The company also makes sure the
driver has the right truck for the load.
“We haul a lot of heavy freight, and we
can’t influence that, but we can make
sure we buy the right truck and it’s
geared for where we run,” Morgan said.
The company replaces its tractors
every three years to ensure that it’s
operating the latest, most fuel-efficient
models. For short trips, the company
uses a lightweight fleet, allowing for the
removal of anything that can be taken
off without compromising the vehicle’s
integrity.
“That’s basically as green as you can
get because we’re taking trucks off the
road,” Morgan said.
