As long as the work gets done, our suppliers are happy and we continue to blow the wing mirrors off inferior drivers like yourself he’s happy.
I dont pay for it so i dont worry about it.
My cars on the other hand…miss daisy comes to mind lol
From my Scania R450 63 plate I get 9.7mpg average. That’s on a normal week with a mixture of loads, some that weigh next to nothing and also running at full weight some of the week.

All that fuel nonsense…thats the least of my worries when driving mybeast…i only look at the speedo…the rest is for someone else to look at…
Tbh I used to think the same way, in fact there are old posts on here of me taking the ■■■■ out of some guys.
(Out of character I know 
).who used to come on here talking and boasting about it. 
The DAF I had then on an 04 plate at the time was appalling on fuel, but since we went on to Mercs and the reputation they have for good fuel figures, I kinda got to thinking ‘‘Let’s just see what it does then’’ and went back to owner/driver mode
It just kind of gets hold of you. 
on the other hand I reckon it’s made me a better driver, as I am always in the top 3 (but I never get a dozy style diploma certificate for it. 
)
It is what it is. Always was and always will be. Don’t even think about it.

the ones that think it matters are usually the ones in their fleet spec supermarket chugmobiles flat to the mat at 52.
completely blinkered and green that because they cant drive at a speed they would like to,then nobody should be able to.
half of our lot over here run on L.W.K.L.A.A. fuel and need to just gt on with the job the way thats most profitable.
enthusiastic limiters and hands on cavalier outlook to road haulage operations.
crack on and byebye plobberjob trunkers.

Money spent on fuel by drivers who wallop through it not caring because they don’t pay the bills is less money available to give you a wage rise.
If you are doing 500/600km a day averaging 10MPG and another driver doing the same run is only getting 8MPG that is over £2500 a year your company doesn’t have for wage rises because of the extra fuel the other driver is wasting.

I dont pay for it so i dont worry about it.
You do in the wage rise you don’t get.
Its funny how many of you morons bleat on about the wages being crap, don’t care how much company money you waste on the hauliers largest bill and fail to make the connection.
A 3% wage rise will cost most employers around £750-£1000 a year. If you’re turning an extra £2000 of diesel into smoke needlessly then how can they afford the money for the wage rise?

Ditto.
We don’t need to scrimp on fuel because the company gets paid well and we don’t have any agency so our damages bill is non-existant

I only averaged 8.3mpg today running about with full weight containers all day but i dont hang about and the unit does 58mph.
