FedEx Freight here, we don’t get dinged for either of those things. Most newer trucks will pick up the speed limit sign and display it on the dash, and alert you if you’re exceeding it. But it doesn’t report that back to FedEx. If the truck exceeds 74mph, it will trigger an event recording on the ELD, but they don’t appear to care about those.
The only time I had it happen was when I got caught off guard going down a hill at night. Even though the speed limit was 65, I didn’t hear anything about the 75mph “event.” I actually did get talked to about a (lack of) following distance event from that same night.
How does your company monitor driving?
