    Said it before. They are just going through the motions. If it’s introduced, then it’s happening.

    also, it’s slowly being transformed into autonomous truck friendly environment.

    On a side note it could also be used to push out vehicles that can’t handle a ECM.


    Just wait.

    Next will be a national mandate for all trucks must use the right lane only. You will not pass, you will not move over for merging traffic, and you must stay behind the slowest truck on the road.

    Let them do whatever. When the problems are still present they can start the blaming game like they always do. The first two rhyme with Crump and Bebublicans.

    I’ll be done. Or driving a dump truck locally. I got put in a rental recently while my truck was down. Rental was limited to 65 but had a ton of power. Never backed off Whatever I set it at. Spend a lot of time on 80/90 in Ohio Indiana Illinois. My truck is Ungoverned. The stress level for the two weeks in the 65 mph truck was unreal. I had forgotten how bad it was to be stuck in the herd of governed trucks.

    FMCSA tried pushing it during Obama administration, then under Trump this idea was put under a rug and now we are back at again.
    Does my memory serve me correct?
