Do u guys have the camera that works along with the samsara software? Thats what we have and the first truck I was in was annoying as all hell. Constantly yelling at me for no reason.
Our trucks are governed at 75 and if I get it to 75.5 it will yell at me to slow down

Our trucks are governed at 70 mph and the company max limit is 75 mph. Exceed that or a registered speed limit for more that two minutes and you get an audible warning - and our volume is set way to high lol

My solution is simple, not that anyone takes any notice, and that is to allow a switch in the cab to temporarily (say for 5 minutes) overide the limiter so drivers can pass each other quicker and safer.
In the days before that law I was given a brand new wagon and set off empty to get loaded. I was halfway passing a much slower lorry when there was a loud click and all power was lost. The firm had voluntarily fitted a limiter. After some investigation I realised that the strange black box bolted to the floor of the passenger compartment was the evil machine. I discovered that it was powered through a simple fuse and, on removing that, I was back to top speed no problem.I just had to make sure that I remembered to put the fuse back before it went into the shop for service each time. Modern limiters are not so easy to fool, unfortunately.

Some trucking companies over here have a feature on their trucks that allows a driver to exceed the governed speed for a certain amount of time per day. I think the manufacturer calls it something like pass smart. Not sure if a driver hits a button or uses cruise control or what.hotrod1653, Lonesome, hope not dumb twucker and 3 others Thank this. -
D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

FL has it. It's like an hour of cruise that goes 5mph faster. You can use it to pass, then let off; or you can be greedy and use it all at once.
