( Nashville, Tenn.) - Because fuel is usually a trucker's second largest operating cost, especially given today’s fuel prices, Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT) has created a free, 56-page brochure, “Guide To Large Truck Fuel Economy For A New Millennium,” and a 9-minute video, “What Drivers Can Do To Save Fuel.”
The brochure is a comprehensive look at Bridgestone research on how tires affect fuel economy. It covers topics of interest to fleet management, maintenance, driver management and purchasing personnel, focusing on real world ways to conserve fuel, many of which require no new equipment purchases.
The video, “What Drivers Can Do To Save Fuel,” features expert driver and owner-operator, Jim Booth, demonstrating how he achieves consistently high fuel economy through skillful driving and effective time management.
A unique feature of the brochure is that it is fully indexed, and includes references to the Technology & Maintenance Council publication, “The Fleet Manager’s Guide to Fuel Economy,” which deals primarily with non-tire-related fuel economy effects. The video is suitable for driver education meetings, and comes with a quiz managers can use to test driver grasp of its contents.
To request a free copy of these fuel economy resources, go to the BFNT website, trucktires.com, and send email to contact@trucktires.com. Or call 1-800-860-0059 and ask for the Bridgestone Fuel Economy Guide & Video.
