They still have a Jaguar fleet, however they have the same rules as any other driver as Celadon and are usually looked at much harder! They do more of the crossing the borders and doing the things you USA drivers don't want to do! Can this change? I don't know the outcome yet! I do know they are watched closer than the normal driver :lol:

The truck we drive does 66mph. The other day we were in a 75mph state and we had several different trucks blow by us (at different times, not together) like we were standing still. We didn't stop even once during our eleven hour shift since we were under a JIT load and those same trucks would past us yet again at least four times. Going over 65mph only gets you down the road farther if you keep the left door closed.
