According to TMC, the most skillful drivers can produce as much as 35 percent better miles per gallon than the least skilled. So, driver education can be one of the most important tools in large truck fuel economy.

A special Bridgestone video, What Drivers Can Do
To Save Fuel
, is available for driver education programs.
Your drivers will learn:
• Why saving fuel benefits drivers too
• How to save fuel even before the trip starts
• Why idle control is so important
• How to use time management to save fuel
• Why excessive speed doesn't pay
