Think your fuel bill is high? Imagine if you had 26 trucks using a half million gallons of fuel a year.
KJAM reports that Jerry Johnson, co-owner of Madison's B&G Transportation, is using conservation and speed limits to save on fuel costs. They've set the governors on the trucks to 65 mph, idling less, and reducing deadhead miles. (Silly me: and I thought listening to Jerry Garcia would help drivers mellow out and use less diesel....)
Jerry Johnson also just happens to be a Republican candidate for the District 8 House. Would his energy policy at work translate into energy policy in Pierre? Would Johnson support lower speed limits for the rest of us on our highways? What other conservation measures might Johnson be willing to put into law?
Jerry, hurry up with that campaign website so we can find out!

I have friends over the years who went there and tell the same boring
stories, LOL.

Deadhead... that's a good one, good neighbor

But when my dad has to spend 1800-dollars to drive from Sioux Falls to California, you know that cost is going to get passed down to us in some way.
