    I haul oversize but light weight so running hills isn't it its passing. Last week some dumb ### in a Volvo from quick x was doing 80kph I went to pass thinking he was loaded he magically matched my speed. So I waited and attempted to pass again he wasn't ready for me so I got 3\4 by him and decided to pay him a visit with the 2000 lbs roller on the back of my step deck since he decided he was matching my speed again when he realized I wasn't playing games he made a logical decision metal and plastic don't mix so he backed off then road my ### not too smart I have brakes and still a metal roller dumb ####

    Tell me about Quick X drivers, specialy about the ones that are doing only Canada. I think they are hired only if they are dumb, rude and have no respect for they're own life.

    Just look @ them. They're used to herding goats and camels not driving trucks. How could you expect anything from these mutts.

    So you don't like sharing your lane with someone going the other direction?

    I never like it sir. I'm sorry for the way they decide to live by and I'm also sorry for the fact that they are dragging this job so low.
    A neighbour once asked me : "Are u for real a truck driver ? Wow ! I thought only the turbans are doing this job....", Now go figure !
    Hope that makes a bit light about my feelings.

    I hear you. I don't believe in making any assumptions about people based on race or anything else but the amount of drivers wearing turbans that I see doing stupid things is scary. I can only assume they learned to drive in their home country and are having a hard time adjusting. Have you ever seen videos of driving in India, wow!

    I'm an imigrant too tinytim, but when I came here I decided to follow the laws and the habbits from here. But that was me.
    I wont invent again the hole in the donuts and the hot water. I will just follow the rules and I obey the laws.
    I'm not a racist either. I dont care about colour, religion or other stuff, but I will aways care about respecting the laws and respecting the others around me. As u say is just that I observe what they are doing with this job.

    And one more thing. I know that if I dont like a job I quit it and find something alse. The same thing with our issue: if they dont like this country and it's laws they should quit and move back where they were coming from. Simple as "hello".

    I'm not racist, just a bit too realist.

    You can get CAT ET and have the driver reward parameter modified so you can gain up to 15 mph more without altering the speed limiter reading

    You can modify the ECM to have it do a lot of things, BUT, when the ECM is downloaded it will rat you out just as quickly.
    If you are involved in an incident and they download the computer, you will be deemed as at fault even if you were not.
    When you go to a scale the truck is scanned and if you get to the next scale to quickly they will be able to give you a ticket and a repair order.
