    Ok good...I spoke to a driver who left stevens for mercer and he said his truck was governed at 70 and he leases from quality...well he said clad on but I'm quite sure he meant quality! I believe he said mercer made him keep it governed at 70

    They are governed at quality for a simple reason. The truck is not yours!!
    Truck owners at Mercer have no speed restriction because it's their truck lol.

    Just found out today that Mercer is not accepting Quality trucks any more. They are allowing the current Quality trucks leased with Mercer to stay.

    Good move IMO.
