Narrative:
I was working ground control at gso tower, a (FBO) fuel truck at taxiway X requested to cross runway 23 back to the FBO. I issued instructions to truck, who replied that he hd a bad radio and repeat. I did so, fuel truck proceeded via microphone and microphone 1, hold short of runway 23. Driver responded microphone and microphone 1, short of 23. Commuter on departure roll, I observed fuel truck approaching runway too fast. I issued fuel truck stop. Vehicle stopped approximately 5 ft short of runway edge marking, and started to back up. Service road that trucks normally take has been closed for 6 months. And airport authority has given FBO's permission to cross runways. Microphone 1 is a high speed taxiway, I doubt it has hold lines/signs as vehicles approach from wrong side.
