Carriers, Road Safe, File Speed Limiter Petition With FMCSA
Truckload carrier Schneider National and travel safety group Road Safe America last week filed a petition with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to require electronic speed governors to be set at no more than 68 miles per hour, Schneider said Monday.
The petition, which Schneider and Road Safe filed last Monday, was also signed by eight other motor carriers, including J.B. Hunt Transportation, CR England, Covenant Transportation and Dart Transit Co.
The speed limiter requirement would affect class seven and eight truck manufactured after 1990, Schneider said in a statement.
