In a tough spot market, strong relationships with those who feed you will pay off

After having as many as 12 owner-operators leased to his Suprise Trucking business, Bryon Stoll is down to just two trucks, including this Freightliner Cascadia from a former leased owner. Stoll said the owner had been struggling with fuel mileage in the truck, barely able to get 5 miles/gal. Stoll found the truck's sweet spot at 58 mph, where he now averages close to 8 mpg.
