I was finishing up my daily reading for the day, and came across this interesting post on Supply Chain Digest. It seems that as a green initiative, Con-Way Truckload is lowering the maximum speed from 70 to 65 for its fleet of 2700 tractors as a means to save fuel. The carrier is hoping to save 2.8 million gallons of diesel fuel annually and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 62 million pounds per year through this plan.
