Speed-limiter protest Monday

Love these protests , they about how its hurting the O/O and small outfits , but losing a days $ + the operating costs to drive in the protest is OK.

Good way to get PUBLIC support , tye up traffic with a TRUCK convoy protesting the FACT they can no longer SPEED .

 

you said it Flatbed we have little or no public support as it is the last thing we need to do is tie up traffic on purpose, don't get me wrong I am against the speed limiters as well as most truck related laws I wish the law would just do a better job enforcing the speed limits with both cars and trucks.
P.S. the best way to get the public attention is for us all to stay home and after about a day when everyone is so happy to see no trucks on the road maybe they will notice there is no food at the store, and no gas at the pumps, than maybe we can ask for a little support

 

This quote had me in hysterics:

I run that corridor every day and have my cruise control set to 60mph (98kph) and I rarely see any of the behaviour Mooney claims he suffered, and the bulk of it isn't related to his doing 105kph. As to being cursed by many motorists, that's a laugh. I keep my eyes open and my CB on, and never hear anything from anybody about the speed I'm running.

Unless Mooney drives like a Frenchman from Milton to Oshawa?

 

You should feature the Toronto Star's coverage of the protest, which featured the headline "Truck Protest Fizzles Out..." and states that a mere five trucks convoyed from Cambridge. As Const. Dave Woodford. observed, "Not even enough to interfere with traffic."

Unfortunately, the article doesn't clarify whether five trucks total came from both Cambridge and Bowmanville, or five came from one direction and a few more from the other, thus explaining the apparent contradiction between CTV's total of 12 trucks and the Toronto Star' total of five.

 

tdb...I guess freedom of choice means nothing to you.Unfortunately people here never seem to get thier crapp together.You say you run that corridor everyday with your cruise set at 60.....good for you!You say you always have your eyes open but who knows what you are looking at and maybe you have your radio on CH 29.I still think you drive a white car with a green stripe after all you have "no answer"after Trucker?

 

DD14 did you make it to the PROTEST ?

See plenty of trucks run the 401 WELL below the posted 100KPH.
