| TRALA supports federal speed limiter standard over state-by-state
TRALA supports federal speed limiter standard over state-by-state 4/28/08 Quote:
The Truck Rental and Leasing Association (TRALA) opposes the consideration of New Jersey legislation that would mandate speed limiting devices on any commercial truck operating in the state until a decision is made on a federal rule.
In order to avoid a state-by-state patchwork of varying equipment mandates, TRALA is asking that New Jersey wait until the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has completed its own study and consideration of a federal rulemaking that would create a national standard for speed limiting devices on trucks.
New Jersey Assembly Bill 2415, introduced by Assemblywoman Marcia Karrow (R-Flemington) on March 3 would require a speed limiting device set at 68 miles per hour on every truck operating in the state. As written, the bill would require the retrofitting of any truck, regardless of its age. For lessors, the proposal could force the installation of devices on every truck in order to insure compliance for vehicles that may travel through New Jersey.
