over speed policy ( central drivers )

When you go into over speed does the red triangle start flashing? I had my cruise on and was watching a car try to merge on my right along with watching cars on my left to see if I could get over. Then I look down and I was going somewhere between 67-69. I read somewhere in here that it won't say anything if you have the cruise on. But my immediate reaction was to hit the brake to slow down. But of course that turns the cruise off. Not sure if I got lucky and it didn't get reported. Or I was right on the border of overspeed.

 

Also I checked under performance monitoring and it said overspeed 16s. But it said count 0. Not sure what count means though.

 

The count might not increase until the next occurrence, which would also set the Longest field.
I'm not sure, either.

But the counters reset with every empty call.

 

I still talk to my trainer. And he said that you must be in over speed for 30s. Not sure if this is true. Because safety at central said it's as soon as it happens. But they're learning too. So they might not be correct.

 

The video I watch said one thing, my DM gave my "talking"to and said another.
Here is the punch line, check your QC. Go to, performance then violations, in the lower right hit "thresholds". There is a different set.

 

My DM said one minute..... But my over speed was 1 time, between 71 and 75 and the duration was for 7 seconds on a 1400 mile run.

 

Here is a conspiracy theory for you guys... This 'over speed' thing will be the excuse they use to weed out the Central drivers that are on the 'old' pay plans... Have no idea if we make more or less than an O/O at Swift, since they haven't let us see a contract, of told us any prices when asked. Reason why I think this is possible is the number of times (when we were still Central) we have gone 70 (in a 75 mph zone) and still been passed by a Swift truck!! If they are so hot and heavy against 'over speed', wouldn't you think Swift drivers would be more careful KNOWING their company?


Hows THAT for stirring the pot
