It's funny, when highways one and sixteen were two lane. We all logged thirteen hours from Calgary/Edmonton to Winnipeg. When they moved up to four lane 110 kph highway, now we can't make it.
Having said that, I usually made it to the shell at Portage and either brought it in the next day, or they sent someone from Winnipeg to meet me. -

Google and a gps times are based on speed limits and on that we agree; however neither cares if it is a car truck or bicycle, Google just gives you a total time based on POSTED speed limits and a GPS pings your location and calculates time from present location based on posted speed that's programmed in the main satellite settings on the rest of the trip. That's why the ETA keeps changing .
With your ON based truck you probably can;t make the trip.Last edited: Nov 20, 2017

I guess if you are in or going through a place with split speed limits that would throw off google and car gps but none of that here that I know of off hand.

Yes that's the number in on to but the max speed limit is 100 kph. Does anybody know where and when that number came about?
Highland in ON had a permit so they could log faster than average 90 kph.
That 90 kph doesn't compute to me because if 1 guy has a preload from say edmonton to lloyd then he can in theory only average 90 on the book but actually averages 105 that is suspect but if another driver worked in the city averaging 90 for the day but drove 200 kph from ed to lloyd he would be legal as long as the average was 90. Of course if they check point to point then that won't work.
I guess the point is it's what can be proven not what actually happens.
