FMCSA--Speed limiters are coming

How about this scenario....
Get caught speeding 5mph over....$1,000 fine, plus points, and a 6 month speed limiter on your truck(or any purchased replacement)
2nd offensive, 5mph over, $2,500 fine, more points, 1 year speed limiter on vehicle(or any purchased replacement)
3rd offense, lose your CDL for 1 year

If they want to get tough, then get tough, on those who deserve it. Just like they have ankle bracelets and those things drunks have to blow in to even start their car, a device can be made so that the speed limiter cannot be tampered with on an offenders truck.

 

Diesel trucks 55 mph.
Electric trucks 75 mph.

 

Tell them how you really feel.

I like the way you think. It makes perfect sense. Problem is, this isn't about what they say it is. It's really about control of the market. The megas paying the Feds to stifle any and all competition. Bonus for the Feds because they get more overreaching control of transportation in a way like never before.

 

Heyyyyy

 

So much for deregulating the trucking industry in 1980, it's nothing BUT regulated now.

 

I was thinking the same thing. It's like the megas are trying to just be the new railroad or union and control it all like they did before deregulation.
