    I went through training for my cdl and drove 6 months for this company. They never mentioned this in any of the classes, heard about it at a truck stop from an ex-cre driver.

    If you press the gas pedal all the way to the floor three times in a row then the 62 mph governor is disabled for 30 minutes. This was useful for those times I wanted to pass someone that was doing one or two mph less than myself on the interstate. It seems that you can only use it once every day or so.

    I now work for jbhunt and they too limit truck speeds. Too bad it does not work on these guys as well.

    I know the leased and owned trucks do not require the speed governors. Both my phase 1 and 2 trainers and myself included were all company drivers and all of us could never go faster than 62 mph normally.

    So it over-rides the 62 mph and lets you triple digit the thing?
    Or puts you at 65?

    It turns off the limiter. You can do 65,66, as high as you can get to in top gear without blowing the engine. I used it usually around the speed limit, definitely do not want to get a speeding ticket and try to explain to safety why or even how you were speeding on i-10 through west texas.
