I would like to axe a question . .
I am frequently passed by trucks of companies I know to be in bankruptcy. Jim Palmer and Gainey are two that come to mind. Simple math would suggest that slowing these trucks down would decrease the operating cost per mile. What part of the equation am I missing in the more complex math?

Fuel while the highest expense we have, shouldn't be the determining factor in whether a company survives or not.

Revenue per mile
-Cost per mile =Get out of bankruptcy (or not) If your fuel and related costs are lower, the gross and net will be higher. Is there some secret formula that justifies higher cost due to higher speed, maintenance, insurance, etc.? It would seem to me that a knowledgeable bankruptcy trustee would demand lower costs aka speeds. Or is there more to it than that?
