Governed Trucks

me either.you all been quiet and doing your jobs looks like jb doesn't like that.they always wanna do things to anger drivers like Fmcsa does.they dont like the calm setting.

 

65. 70 for an hour a day.

Can roll 79 downhill all day.

 

A very good friend pulld for JB Intermodal. He is an O/O so it doesn't affect him ,but he told me over a year ago they were setting all company trucks back to 62

 

Can remember when ol orange only went 55 in those cabovers

 

I wouldnt mind so much if they at least gave us 65 on the pedal still for those pa hills and those heavy backhauls. 62 aint cuttin the mustard cuz any little variance in the road its really more like 60-61. I really miss the middle lane lol

 

Stuck at 62 and rarely leave Chicago. No hills to get me up above that.

Mikeeee

 

I noticed people who can drive 70 plus usually drive under. And everybody governed under 69 70 wants to go faster.

I drive my truck at 68-70 and if someone wants to turn it into a drag race I'd love to show you what I've got lol. And that happens often with those who are set with cruise at like 69 and 71 throttle to pass. You start to pass them then they turn into ahole mode and step on it lol.

 

75 I don't have any kind of tattle tale. The company actually trust I know what I'm doing.

 

Speaking of big companies. There was a red cascadia catching up to me yesterday on the salt flats I was driving 70. He was catching up fast. I figured somebody must have be cash loaded to have brand new fast trucks passed me 5 6mph faster than me..... C.r England. Interesting lol

 

I live and work out west. It's pain getting stuck behind drag racing turtles. I got a kick out a sign on 40 yesterday. Left lane min speed 65mph.
