Back in the day Preston bought some used fords from Spartan. You could hold the accelerator to the floor while driving, switch the ignition off and back on 3 times and it would bypass the governer. ( so I’ve been told )Gotta be fake news, in all my days, I've never heard of a truck driver to even think about tampering with a governor.
However, we had the safety man from Houston get fired for holding the flashlight while a driver turned fuel or rpm to a B-model Mack.
The best I recall, the driver got a 30-day layoff.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised.Back in the day Preston bought some used fords from Spartan. You could hold the accelerator to the floor while driving, switch the ignition off and back on 3 times and it would bypass the governer. ( so I’ve been told )
Driver at my old yard, 19 years plus with the company. Wedged a a half book of matches in there and one day forgot to take it out. HQ tells shop check this tractor, not one lane deviation warning last night. Make sure system is operating properly. Shop took a picture of the matchbook. Fired that night when he came into work. Tampering with Company Safety Equipment.What a shame. Reports also are out that drivers have been getting fired for using PC when running out of time instead of getting paid to wait for rescue.
Also drivers getting caught wedging something in the lane departure so it won’t turn back on
Its easy , just goggle 15% speed updates for Peterbilt or International and follow the guide on pressing the cruise at same time as gas pedal when going downhill and speed will increase by 15% !What was the app?

Yeah that extra 2 mph made me feel like a Jr cattle hauler.They took our ability to do the “cruise bump” away, years ago. R11ish era…

Man I miss my R8#@÷ it would fly and pull pretty good! Now what we consider flying is 68 lolI wish I would've known that when they stuck me with an R8 Volvo, because nothing else was available. That was a miserable day. Grind em till you find em.
Nothing like taking off in 5th gear at a red light!The R8’s were the best. RIP R8813.
Freightliner has a diagnostic app you can change the governor with. I think it's technically illegal to obtain the proprietary app without buying a Freightliner. Saw a dozen guys get fired at my last job for using it and the company took legal action against the guy that was sharing the app for lost profit due to lower fuel efficiency at higher speeds.
