    Watch how many off the new tractors won't Regen at 65. Ground will be having a good rescue schedule.

    Ground is also mandating all overweight drivers to get healthy and loose weight. Or else be disqualified by ground safety. This will happen also by August 28..

    Memo is out now - meeting is next Monday.

    I will have more info then.

    I only have one truck that is set at 65 and two that are set at 72.

    Since all of my linehaul is done within a 300 mile range of NKY - this won't effect me or my runs.


    The guys out west will have issues. - eapeciallybthe guys running long line hauls along the 10 and 20...

    It's just crazy. Trucks need to run posted speed limits. I have been at ground for 28 years. I'm a old RPS Driver. I am not going to sign this thing. My driver's deserve better than that. My safety record is spotless. It's the contractor that hires guys that have no experience. I will sign my small fleet on with Amazon.
