QUESTIONS & ANSWERSSpeaker Panel
Factors Effecting Fuel Economy
• This wheel shows the number of factors that contribute to overall fuel economy.
• The chart is not designed to show the amount or percentage of impact of each factor but rather the sheer number of variables that must be taken into account for a complete analysis.
Driver Characteristics
• The driver has control over the following:– Gear selection (manual trans or automated in manual mode)
• Option for all engines to have progressive shift enabled in manual mode
– Road Speed – Throttle Aggressiveness– Brake use (including the engine brake)– Use of cruise control– Idle Time
• The Truck Maintenance Council’s (TMC) RP 1111 document states that the driver can contribute up to a 35% difference in fuel economy
Leveraging People & Technology for Driver Performance
• Nussbaum is a faith based organization which operates on Biblical principles.
• Our people drive our success. If we take care of them, Nussbaum will thrive. The driver scorecard is built on this principal.
• Successful driver performance requires:– High standard of Integrity, Ethics and Values– Trust – Without trust, there is no motivation on their part to help the company
meet its goals and objectives.– Character – Nussbaum hires for character over experience.
• Our culture opens up the door.• Drivers can be coached to achieve a higher level of performance.
Building a Culture that Encourages Performance
Leveraging People & Technology for Driver Performance
• Performance feedback for our drivers is provided through our “Driver Excelerator”, a smart, technology based scorecard.
– Assigns points based on performance in key areas - fuel, safety and operations. – Displays progress and point totals in all key areas for driver managers
to reference.– Driver manager’s job is to coach, not
correct. It’s built with systems in placeto motivate, not just measure.
– Each month the scorecard assigns the driver a status as Gold, Silver or Bronze level. Based on points earned, drivers receive a quarterly or per mile bonus.
Performance Feedback
Lytx / Drivecam Video Technology
• Analyzing driver behaviors– Defining the appropriate responses
• Identifying the correct technical response in the correct order
J&R Schugel’s Approach to Correcting Driver Behavior
J&R Schugel’s Right Turn Mirror Station
• Set up to properly block inside lane
• Entering turn in proper gear / speed
• Looking through the turn
• Keep head on swivel and eyes moving
• Frequent mirror checks
• Mirror check before point of no return
• Not shifting during
the turn
J&R Schugel’s Training On Rear-end Collisions
• The importance of a 15 second eye lead time
• Reducing speeds in high risk areas
• Anticipating the actions of others
• Driving 2 – 3mph slower than traffic

J&R Schugel Trucking
• Getting the big picture
• Anticipating the actions of others
• Braking without over reacting or counter steering
Training How To Anticipate Others
Leveraging People & Technology for Driver Performance
• Technology we currently use to enhance driver performance: • On Board Computer (PeopleNet)• Safety Technologies
– Collision Avoidance / Lane Departure Systems– Roll Stability– Automatic Transmissions
• Fuel Technologies– 6x2 configuration– Full Length Skirts / Tails– E-Coast
• Virtual Technician

Since most of the fuel is burned in top gear, shiftpoints have much
less effect on overall fuel economy for typical linehaul applications.
