If slower is safer all vehicles should be limited to 35 mph. 🤡

Fuk the gov.

I'd be fine with this if they make that federal limit 85mph

And this will get us in line with the eu its called one world guv

Glad I retired in 2019 !!

Turn mine down to 60 I don’t care then the police should be really happy investigating the accidents because 4 wheelers will be in a bigger hurry no yield and the like

The real solution is more efficient public transport.

I drove a company truck for 3 years. It was regulated by the ECM to 62mph. The fuel guy and I got along great so he kicked my truck up to 72. I made much more $$ every week because of it.

It works out cause guys are driving non stop giving up health for more time in the again

Yup I’m done

Hold on a fact check here in 2018 and you can do a quick Google search with my name and find out in North Dakota I was involved in a fatality where a lady literally ran in the back of my truck I was doing 0 miles an hour the truck was broke down in a lady was texting while driving hits the back of my truck doing 75 miles an hour and kills herself

We will see a huge jump in accidents if they do. I remember when Texas did away with the truck speed limit accident rates dropped. Does it limit damage to the truck but this doesn’t cure the idiots that get pissy because trucks being slow.

Hello increased transportation costs. I remember when truckers were by far the best & most courteous drivers on the road. Ridiculously low speed limiters have contributed to the modern day truck races where a Fedex that can only go 65 takes 4 miles to pass a Swift who can only go 64.75. All in a 75 zone. I want' trucks banned from using the passing lane for more than half a mile unless they're actually passing. I also want their limiters up to 80 or so to make passes happen reasonably well. With today's tech every one of them is GPSd and should be tracked. Those who abuse it can be easily caught and dealt with. I believe truckers would drive better if they were allowed to actually pilot the damn vehicle.

Honestly, it's about time. This is what happens when drivers that have been going too fast for decades finally get negative attention. The real solution is to have trucks on a separate one-lane highway (2 lanes for passing areas) with automatic systems for road-trains. Huge savings on fuel consumption, but wouldn't work in hilly terrain. But obviously not financially feasible. When I'm in my car and I want to go the speed limit or even 5-10 MPH over, I shouldn't have to worry about a massive truck with an angry 'professional' driver tailgating me and having to pass. Sometimes on the freeway in the 80 zones, I am going 90 MPH and barely passing them. The amount of damage a truck going 85 MPH vs 65 MPH in a crash is catastrophically higher. And yeah those huge car hauling trailers, the hot shot guys, they go way too fast too. In the end, everyone will benefit, as the roads will be safer, and people won't feel the need to speed just because of semi trucks. Tons of fuel will be saved, and it will have a more positive environmental impact than 1 million Prius'es. The only thing is this will have to be heavily enforced for it to work.

Most European trucks have built-in limiters at 88 kmh (55 mph for you). Also speed limit on out of city roads is around 90 kmh in most countries anyway. So no big deal.

Sounds like fedex needs to hire more drivers, loads being late is on part due to management, if a driver can't make it to their destination with the new speed limiter, it's a management issue. Only time it's a driver issue is when they're literally not driving or intentionally driving slower than required.

Bring back my C-15

Carbon is good for plants

yeaaahhhhh... no. my truck ain't getting turned down. oh, i might go in and temporarily lower it for inspection or w/e, but otherwise it will continue to be capable of doing 80 if i need it to. i don't need no governor to force me to go slower when i'm already setting my cruise lower to conserve fuel; that extra room between what i run it at and what it can be run at is there to either forcibly finish a pass or to help me keep it straight if i blow a steer

Slower moving trucks on the highway creates the "LEFT LANE CLUSTERFUCK" where passenger vehicles travel only in the left lane, often cruising 1-3 mph faster than the right lane. On hills, it's an even more dangerous situation. Truckers will need to speak up on this to elected officials and be relentless about it if this regulation is going to be beat.

Gross gov't overreach

America isn't free anymore.

A question is are they gonna allow all of the Mexican and Canadian trucks to run whatever speed they wish making it more profitable for the cartel trucks and the Canadian trucks to do business in America

lmfao or maybe if companies paid what a competent driver was worth instead of hiring the first people who apply like they clearly do now...

As a driver with 21 years and 2.5 million safe miles . My only problem with this speed limiter rule is that it doesn’t include cars it should and that it’s not gps tracking so it doesn’t limit your speed in town . Both of those things are needed as well

This is why I am leaving trucking and I have been trucking

Speeding and hos violations will increase. It's a money grab. Because of people like you, I got out of trucking and have no plans of returning. I have 30 years experience and this is the biggest power grab ever by the large trucking firms.

What's not being told is that FedEx literally has more terminals than the average company which if utilized correctly means freight isn't late.

My problem with the regulation is, where does it stop once it gets going. Meaning if we can make trucks ONLY go 60, then what would stop them from limiting the truck to 45. i choose 45 because at that speed the fuel mileage increase is the greatest. This is why regulations on things are bad, because it set a precedence for more regulations. Also 45 is safer then 60 and saves the most fuel. This is what will be implemented.

Staying out of the fast lane with big trucks will cost the price to get stuff from a-b go up even more. Great job biden. Also most trucks unless they are a big name company dont have e-books or gps speed trackers

This is going to make highways a nightmare for everyone.

Seems to be a cell phone problem from what I've seen

Tailgating will increase drastically, it's already out of hand.

Speed is a factor when it comes to damage. But If a truck can't drive with traffic or safely pass a vehicle then it impedes traffic. Impeding traffic is more dangerous than speeding.

My wife and I just got hired on at Landair and we are about to go pick up our 2025 Cascadia so excited!

So fuel efficient that it can't climb a hill.

I'd rather have a Volvo truck. Volvo makes a good proven reliable diesel engine. My favorite though is the Detroit diesel. An automatic transmission is a deal breaker for me.

This truck is trash because it auto brakes when someone in front of you is taking an exit off the freeway. It brakes so hard for no reason. Going to cause an accident one day

I bet ya itll be in the shop more than on the road. Thats what hapkened with my 2022 Cascadia. A design flaw where when truck at a normal/low idle oil would t circulate through the rest of the engine. Truck jad to be set a high idle rpm just to keeo oil circulating. But the idle still went back down with every time it goes into e coast. That lack of oil circulation caused metal on metal damage. Truck broke down 5x in 10 minth and was brand new. And on another note, are they ever gonna make a Freightliner ride smoother. Their trucks are the roughest riding trucks on the road for the last 30 years.

Nothing special about freight liner it's a basic company truck

I drove my own truck for 13 years after 30 years of heavy construction I just wanted a job that I didn’t have to deal with tons of people I loved it until I hated it it’s a damn cruel world out there you see things done to this country That most people don’t get a chance to see the politics involved in trucking is horrible that’s why I got away from it good luck boys it’s not an easy job it’s a unforgiving job too many Chiefs and not enough Indians Too much money going to the big guys they got you locked down on how much you can make a year and that’s BS

Trash truck

😮

Happy to own a 1986 FLC120 Freightliner in stead of what there trying to push out in the market today

The verbal feces is astonishing. The real interest is the natural gas motor. Let's hear about that. Cut the bogus crap.

It’s a POS. There’s nothing cool about Freightliners.

Plastic crap 3:01

I’ll tell you what’s under the hood. Idiot sensors that will drive the OO broke.

Annoying safty beeping sound that will drive you nuts that's why I'm buying a old truck the he'll with californa don't want or need there freight

Same crap wire harnesses
