    All trucks are governed at 65, I have rolled down hills above their said limit in Kansas at speeds close to 75 and never heard a thing about it. I think its no problem as long as its just a couple of minutes

    That's my understanding, With all trucks being governed at 65(corporately mandated) should not be a problem, This also includes Owner operators.

    Back before the buyout (circle c days) they had no sense of humor about anything . I'd bet it worse now.

    Ya, all trucks are equiped with transponders that are hooked/linked to a blackberry which every driver is issued, And these are used for our Elogs
