Truck Speed

My truck will barely do 63 and I still legally run over 3800 miles every week. If it was any faster I might get over worked. The faster speeds would be nice though for passing but other than that it's no big deal.

Was better than what I wanted to really say

 

The following link is to a letter that was sent to all terminal shops regarding setting the trucks at 62mph. According to the letter they are now in the process of checking every single truck and making adjusting accordingly.

Yeah, if you roll down a hill your check engine light pops on. The progressive shift settings really have things screwed up as well. I tried to ascend a couple of fairly extreme grades since the changes were made and basically ended up at a dead stop in the middle of the road and had to back down on the shoulder. I'm constantly having to rethink routes now that I've typically always taken in the past. But anyway, they're going to get all of you at your next service.

 

from what has been posted on the USA Truck drivers facebook page from other drivers their mpg have dropped dramatically since the change went into effect

 

If they would quit playing around with stupid things like truck speeds, rpms, and idle times maybe it wouldn't take 2.5 days to change a flasher relay and they would have time to fix some of the things that really need to be fixed.

Also, they already have problems with the particulate filters because of the low speeds and rpms. So they decide to make it worse? Leave it to the suits to make the calls and its what you end up with all the time.
