For Michael Forte, what started as a typical desire to spec more fuel-efficient trucks has led to an all encompassing move into CNG-powered vehicles and a dedicated fueling infrastructure. Today, just two and a half years later, he couldn't be more pleased with the results. Forte's company, MJF Materials of Lindenwold, N.J., operates 30 Class 8 dump trucks to haul sand and stone from its quarries in Pennsylvania to asphalt and concrete plants. Customers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey are mostly located within 100 miles of the quarries. The seasonal business, which handles about 850,000 tons per year, is supplemented by hauls of salt during winter months.
