I get that, but do you punish both kids when one acts up?

They make you do education for them too, takes like 20-40 minutes each video.
Only time I get them is if I mess up my timing. Try to get away from the slow bastard that I've caught up to while I'm governed to 65.
Yep. The people that get them should, but the people that don't get any shouldn't have to sit through meetings every Tuesday for someone else's unsafe driving. IMO.
I dont have that problem anymore since that particular cam has since been unplugged and tossed in the glovebox
All well and good, til the SOB looks up from his p*on, farcebook, or whatever and sees a truck tryin to get past. Then its āoh :
:, gotta go... gotta go... gotta step on itā only to slow back down to 10 mph under the posted soon as youāre behind his ass again It should be legel to run peeple off the road who do that ignorant :

If they bumped us up to 68mph Iād be willing to bet headways would drop 50-75%. Not too fast, but fast enough to pass the 64.5mph club members.

First half of my night is just muttering to myself about how nobody knows what the slim pedal on the right does. Then it'll finally clear out for a while.Was that slow bastard doing 46 in the hammer lane?
a ton of HURR DURR LETS CRUISE DOING 50 IN A 70. from cars and semis alike.
I had one going home the other day where I swear the driver was looking at KMPH and not MPH because he was barely crawling without four ways consistently.

Yes so when it becomes time to cull the heard everyone was treated the same.
Honestly a 68 is even more irritating. You'd be surprised how many companies are running 67/68 and you have to fight them guys. Having a 70mph tractor is so much better on my stress level coming out of a 68.
For the purpose of passing people, it doesn't matter how fast the truck is governed, you'll always catch up to someone going a half mph slower.
I'd be happy if my 65mph tractor had one of those "smart pass" functions that let me temporarily bump up to 68-70 to get around slower traffic when necessary.

My issue with our trucks is that some slow to 63 or 64 on flat ground coming off a hill before throttle renegades. So if you trying to use gravity to pass you'll lose some ground.
Pretty much no difference than making us hear the same safety meetings we have been hearing for the last 3 decades, I am all good with it until a clock sucker starts asking questions dragging that :::
