Governed Trucks

WRONG the ATA will set them all to no higher than 65mph.

Email your states federal representatives today to stop the ATA.

 

governed at 65. I've had it faster than that on a grade (briefly) no issues.

 

governed at 85mph but rarely run above 66-68mph. the extra juice does come in handy for those fine motorists that like to speed up when im passing. I am the qualcom, safety dept, maintenance dept. I suppose I could yell at myself...

 

Wide open, 99 Kenworth, N14 525, 18 speed, 3.73s turning 295/75R24.5s. She moves. I personally don't go over 75, but I'll do it (so long as I'm not frequently being cut off by senior citizens, RVers, and slow trucks). When I do this gig (it's just a side gig for me, not my regular job), they need the truck right away once I get back, so I don't get into the habit of wasting time.
But, good on you for your 64/65 MPH trucks, I guess?

 

All ours are governed to 65

 

I am officially miserable! We had 65 on pedal and cruise at my account with JB and as of 2 weeks ago I come in to work hop in my truck and now does 62 all around...I cant beleive the difference 3 mph can make...I feel like im moving backwards! 65 was just right in my opinion..cops dont look at ya u can pass people if need be and feel like your actually getting somewhere! This is a load of bs and idk how long i can take it!

 

most of jb trucks have been 62 for a long time haven't they?I know what u mean though .a few mph higher can make a huge difference.what's the point of them doing this to save fuel ,some bad drivers or both?

 

Yeah i guess its a fuel and safety thing...jb has been 62 but the account im on had ryder trucks from 2013 and were set at 65 before jb hunt won the contract and took over and up until 2 weeks ago they lowered all the trucks withought explanation. Are account just had a 1 million safe miles party and the next day trucks were lowered! I was really comfy riding 65 n 62 us just hard to get used to for me.

 

I

I swear companies goal is to make drivers as miserable and angry as possible.guess they figure if drivers aren't mad were not doing our jobs right.

 

Aint that the truth...why they always gotta fix things that arent broken I will never understand
