PeopleNet Reading Incorrect Speed Data

Last November, our brand new unit was hooked up to a PeopleNet system on a company-wide implementation. Our unit wasn't installed correctly and we consequently had many wiring issues pop up, mechanical issues from brackets not being replaced correctly (vibration wear) and an EOBR that didn't work most of the time.

They've corrected the EOBR part and left us the crap that costs the money.

ANYWAY, our illustrious safety department is on a holy witch hunt for speed-demons.

These demons include anyone going 101.5km/hr for 19% of their entire journey, people spiking at 104km/hr with loaded rockies down highway hills, people passing the 70 zone sign at a whopping 72km/hr, etc.
After a verbal warning and a written one, the company driver gets a suspension (not sure for how long, everyone so far has not returned - good luck, friends).
After a text-by-cell warning and a written one, leased operators are threatened with a cancellation of contract.

Here's the skinny:
The Vice President called our driver contact here in Edmonton and told him we were the fastest truck in the company and that he will be watching us for a probation period.
Steve was rated at 49.7% overspeed on all highway kms and I was rated 32.7% (I had a single trip that week so drove more kms to be fair to Steve).
Most of this was 110km/hr on the 110km four lane (Hwy 43 N; Edm-GRP).

SO, because I take my job seriously and get really mad when people criticize something I think I'm doing well with care and attention, I thought I would be extra slow last round to get a 0%.
I went 88km/hr in the 110km/hr. I went 72 in the 80s, 64 in the 70s and 40 in the 50s.
I NEVER got even close to the limit and made sure before I crossed the signs for the zones I was going below the coming limit. I didn't increase the speed until way after the sign for increase was well behind.
It was torture and I wanted to die but it was accomplished (slowing down to 60 for shutdown businesses in northern BC/Yukon like Fireside and Iron Creek was a blast).
The speed report came in today and I was issued a 10% overspeed.
Anybody else here have this issue? Is your company a pack of psychos about 101km/hr? Do you want to throw your PeopleJunk out the window and watch it roll down a rocky mountain side and get crapped on by a moose?
