ISA AND DECKER TRUCK LINE ANNOUNCE “MILLION MILE HAUL”
URBANDALE, Iowa – The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) and
Decker Truck Line announce the commencement of the “Million Mile
Haul.” A press conference held Tuesday evening, Oct. 31, at the
Decker Truck Line headquarters revealed the documentation program.
The program is designed to complete a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive
fuel impact study that examines the effects of soy biodiesel (B20,
a 20 percent soy biodiesel blend) compared to regular petroleum
diesel fuel. The study will compare soy biodiesel to regular diesel
fuel in a fleet of eight over-the-road trucks.
The documentation program is the first in the nation to be made
public and marks an industry milestone. The objective of this study
is for the trucking industry to use the data and as a result to
promote the use of soy biodiesel as an alternative fuel.
Caterpillar Inc. will participate in gathering technical
information as well as analytical analysis with the use of B20 in
its engines.
Congressman Tom Latham and Iowa State Senators Daryl Beall, Mike
Gronstal and Jack Kibbie were in attendance at the press conference
to show their support for soy biodiesel and the field documentation
program.
Numerous people will benefit from the information gained during the study, including owners and operators of heavy equipment, biodiesel customers, and fleet owners, among others.
The Iowa Soybean Association, Decker Truck Line, Inc., the National Biodiesel Board, Caterpillar Inc., Iowa Central Community College, Renewable Energy Group and the USDA have partnered to support this study.

The Iowa Soybean Association develops policies and programs that
help farmers expand profit opportunities while promoting
environmentally sensitive production using the soybean checkoff and
other resources. The Association is governed by an elected
volunteer board of 21 farmers.
Funded by soybean checkoff dollars.
Decker Truck Line, Inc., in business since 1931, is a diversified
carrier transporting flatbed, refrigerated and dry van freight to
the 48 contiguous states and seven Canadian provinces.
