Might that be the answer??? When we're around the corporate offices of the signers, we all act like we're governed at 68 and pass each other... And take at least 10 miles to do it???? Make it just as INCONVENIENT for them as we can???

 

Now that is a good idea, Windwalker. US Xpress has their corporate offices on I-75 just a few miles from Covenant's. Perhaps it would be good to just go back and forth between them. Both are next to the interstates. I believe Schneider's corporate offices are next to the interstate in Wisconsin. Let them see how it could be if we all rode around at the same speed. If you think truckers have a bad reputation for holding up traffic now, just have everyone going at the same exact speed. At 68 you will have 4 wheelers killing themselves trying get around these trucks. :shock:

 

Does it really matter how fast a truck goes? You could have on truck set for 68 mph and another set for 70 mph. same problems but diffrent speeds.

Ever run the grapevine where trucks have to stay in two right lanes? Trucks will pass each other (or try) doing 30 mph. The could be set at 75mph but it would make no difference.

 

And while any benefits of mandatory speed limitation are “questionable,” government-mandated speed limiters most certainly would create additional speed variance on the roads – which increases the risks of accidents, according to another study cited by OOIDA in the letter. In fact, that study concludes that “the frequency of interactions with other vehicles by a vehicle traveling 10 mph below the posted speed limit is 227 percent higher than moving at the traffic speed.”


What is this "other study"?

 

I think my biggest complaint about this is that it will throw additional legislation on our backs. :evil:

 

I'll go along with my truck being governed at 68mph, just as long as the 4 wheelers are also governed at 68mph. Can you just imagine the squaking going on when a feller buys his new Porshe governed at 68mph??

The four wheelers need the governer more that I do....

And I'm familiar enough with automotive computers to know that it can be done to Chevy just as well as your Kenworth, just a matter of plugging it in and resetting the parameters on the computer.

 

It is my opinion that these big companies want everyone to run the same so they can compete on a level playing field..

 

Another sad thing is that the four wheeler will be blaming the truckers for clogging up the road and holding up traffic without realizing that the truckers are just following the regulations given to them.

Nope-no interstate but trying to grow up to be one :P

 

Good one. :lol: :lol:
