    I simply would not like being a 80000 rolling road block, especially out in West Texas Arizona New Mexico places like that.

    NO IT DIDN'T That's like saying the US speed limit every where is 85 because it is in Texas.
    I know it's a figure of speech for the US guys but not correct as posted

    Are you saying that the 105 limiter law is not nation wide?

    ^^ Exactly ! Ontario and Quebec.

    There is a huge difference though .

    For example : Take California(55mph max while towing and/or over 6 axles) , they don't put mandatory limiters on the trucks (that I know of) . The fastest trucks in the country come out of California pulling reefers to the east coast . I used to clock them at 85mph + all the time on I-40 in Az/Nm/Tx

    Well, at least the thread wasn't from 2001. This one is only a year old.

    Population of 75, a 3 stores! An it(was, not sure if still is) for sale!

    A group called Dam ned(Detroit arts group/thing) tried to buy it. It didn't go thru though.

    So everyone waiting on hell to freeze over...it's happened.

    I fully blame @gpf87 for reviving this thread, so that it caught my attention.

    Send all complaints to him, send all donations an tips to me.

    ;)

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Bring me another beer! - A lot of you at some point.
