It cost us over $3.00 per mile to run a truck down the road. I know that doesn’t seem like much. But between FV Martin and Martin Transportation we have about 80 trucks. If every driver went 1.5 miles out of route every day one month, it would cost us a little over $8,000 per month. 1.5 miles isn’t very far but it really adds up.
Here is an example. You’re headed west on Hwy 62 from Boise in White City headed to our yard. You turn left onto Hwy 140 to Lakeview Dr rather than going to Merry Lane. Then turning left. You are adding about 1.5 mile unnecessarily.
Please do everything you can to make us profitable.
