There was no official company wide notice other than a posted letter on the wall at the shop counter. I would have never known about this, except another driver showed me the sticker on the truck put there by the mechanic afterwards. Be aware, it seems most major companies will probably follow suit as fuel prices continue upwards.
well, now that you have a slow truck you can run the middle lane all the time, be sure to stay on the phone and cuss out anyone who has the nerve to ask you to move over..
