Canada's speed limiter law

Your shop can set the limit using the software for your truck . It doesn't have to be anything permanent . You can change the setting when you leave Ontario .

 

Memory serve, I saw an article in Transport Topics that Ontario already passed the law, and the way I read the article, yes, American trucks must comply. But I also believe it was only passed in Ontario & was not a national law, but merely a provincial law.

 

It is passed in Ontario and Quebec. Every truck operating within the province must be locked at 105 KMH, roughly 65 MPH. I know Freightliner dealers are charging 1/2 hrs labour to lock it, if there is no password

 

where is the canadian aclu when you need them?

 

You're supposed to say "eh" when you say that, eh.............lol

 

It is passed in Ontario and Quebec, eh.....

Happy now, Mister???

 

yepper, eh

 

I've been doing a run to Canada the past couple of years but will probably ask to have someone else put on it . It used to be a good deal . I made $600 plus usually some detention time for a 2 1/2 day trip 4 to 6 times a month . Then it slowed down to 2 to 3 times a month . They schedule the loads the beginning of the month . Then they give short notice of a schedule change . I'll be scheduled to load Tuesday and deliver Wednesday . They call the Friday before that and change it to load Wednesday deliver Thursday . Dispatch already has all the Monday 2 day loads covered and no short runs Tuesday so I lose a load . That is the only load I do to Canada and the added inconvenience of a speed limiter makes it just not worth the aggravation . I make trips in TN and KY the rest of the month and don't wanted to be forced to drive below the speed limit .

 

Okay...so how do they check American trucks for complience upon entering Ontario?
