FMCSA--Speed limiters are coming

When are they going to start removing all of the speed limit signs? On the interstate

 

Gotta go ol skool-bring back the GMC Crackerbox cabover.
Have to give some of these drivers the FULL ON,NO HOLDS BARRED EXPERIENCE!!

 

I don't think this will go over like they think it's going to. The ELD pushed many to their limits and I have a feeling this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

 

People need to voice their opposition to this, that's about all we can do. Friends, family, whoever, this will effect alot of people not only us drivers. Have them make their comments to oppose this ridiculous idea at:
Regulations.gov

 

Us canucks are pulling for you because we know darn well the CTA will call for limiters Canada wide and use USA as a example of how good it works by cherry picking a few numbers somewhere.

 

Will this be the breaking point of enough is enough if it goes through set at a ridiculously low speed? Like 62? Will everyone stand up and say enough is enough? Park it. I for one will not be making any changes to my ecm.

 

I will. A few decades ago if scabs tried to cross they got "assistance" to help them join us in solidarity. I'm more than willing to help in that regard too.

 

It’s not the speed. It doesn’t matter how fast they’re going, if they’re all chained together with speed limiters it’s a rolling cluster#### with no end to it. Imagine the frustration of driving an empty truck that puts over 700hp to the ground and you can’t get away from a loaded Megas pos. I’ve been living it for a few years now in On/Qc. If you run 20 and 401 you WILL drive the entire 800mi to the border at Windsor with at least 3 other trucks no more than 20’ feet from you. Make that more like 6 from Bowmanville to London. Then throw a million pissed off 4 wheelers in the mix. How in the name of #### is that safe?

 

So how are they going to limit your truck if it has a mechanical engine?

Have they discussed what the actual fines will be?

Way back when, driving was associated with freedom. There still is a sense of Freedom, especially if you have your own authority, but that window is closing with more and more regulations.

Unfortunately this business is government-regulated, and constantly and continually they will just add more and more regulations until your freedom is gone and your handcuffs just get tighter and tighter and tighter.

The regulations will increase and no one in this business has any power to do anything about it.

The government destroys everything it touches.
