Does anyone have any details on this policy ? It does not apply to our location but I’m curious to the details since they were not posted at our terminal.

I haven’t heard anything official or seen anything posted anywhere. Only rumors that August is a grace period.

I is. Any overspeed is a couching. Starting September 1 it will be a strike. Everyone starts with a credit strike and can earn one every 90 days with no overspeed but you can’t have more then one credit strike at a time
 
One other thing that probably only matters for New England drivers is that any strikes earned during the testing phase are wiped off their record. We have a couple of guys at my barn who were one 10 MPH overspeed from getting fired so I imagine they are breathing a little easier tomorrow.

Wasn’t going to happen. We have a guy at my barn with 9 and still has his job
 
Outsider looking in..... I would worry that if you were to get a bunch of violations the truck would be turned down.... just my opinion from a different company that has extremely slow trucks.

Too many Driver would cry if the trucks were put back to 65. Don’t want to hurt any feelings.
 
This is really simple. Turnover just isn't high enough. So they are going to make it easier to fire people. And claim it safety consciousness. I don't know how there are terminals laying off. We cannot keep drivers. At all. As fast as we are losing customers. We are losing drivers even faster. But clearly. The system is just to damn driver heavy. So they are going to clean it out and get rid of more of us drivers. The computer model says you can make more money this way. More management and fewer drivers. This is going to be the number trucking company. Tony Brooks said so !!!!

I think you are right on all counts. Tony Brooks is definitely trying to do more with less. As you have said for years, suck it for all it’s worth and ride it out till the end.
