    So drivers would be reprimanded or terminated for going over maximum governed speed?

    Air Products uses Samsara to keep track of your driving habits. You must keep your score above a 92 or 95 cant remember. If your score starts dropping below that then it starts affecting your quarterly bonus.

    You also must follow all speed limits and maximim speed you can drive is 65 mph.

    Thanks, I'm trying right now in my current dry van job to practice the good habits that I want to have for if I can get into a cryo hauling job.

    I question how you get it to that point? Place I'm at also uses Samsara. I usually go 5mph over. Currently at 98. I don't think I ever seen it go lower than that.
    Meanwhile fuel efficiency is 61. Part of it is claiming over torque. It's a automatic I have no control over that.

    Usually what does it is a harsh brake or constantly severe speeding.

    Our system will ping you for going anything over 69mph. It’s will also ping you for excessive speed in a non highway zone. It’s really not a hard system to deal with. Then again I’ve been dealing with some form of drive cam, samsara, lytx, for over 10yrs now!

    I guess they technically could but I never heard of it. They track everything so if they wanted to fire someone they are gonna have like 5 reasons.

    We have a tone in the eld when we exceed 5 over to notify the driver.

    My 2cents..
    I'm paid by the hour so not gonna worry bout that and I'd hate to be involved in any incident that could tie excessive speed on my part to blame or as a contributing factor.

    As a professional driver in a specialized field operating a hazmat vehicle at near maximum weight, I always ran within that 5 mph cushion.
    It was ingrained into the drivers each month that we were expected to be better than the rest.

    @Cali kid, @Dennixx, @viper822004, I appreciate it. Though I do have to get more experience before being considered for cryo I do want to start working towards it now.

    Sometimes I wonder if I made the mistake of leaving Southern Pines.
    Though I am glad not constantly dealing with a dead truck because of the trash carrier APU.
    Also I saw weeks ago in Connecticut. A KAG connected to a Air Liquide trailer. I only ever see those trailers in Canada. So either very old or brought in from Canada.
