Canadian Laws

All commecial vehicles must have governed speed no higher then 63 miles per hour. How many of you are going to spend the money to put gov's on your engine. Will you effect your time performance in the states heading out west where the speed limit is 75mph?

When the temp hits 103 in Juno ill let another government tell me how fast my truck should be set at not until then

I believe, (and I know I'll be corrected if I am wrong) that it is
only Ontario, and Quebec that are limiting our speedometers.
It tells me that they can't control their speeders, do they
truly think there going to now? All I see happening is that
there won't be as many commercial vehicles heading North,
the price of Goods and Services will rise, people will squawk,
the RCMP will either write more tickets, or turn the other blind
eye to the mess.

The Fed's could have done a study stretched out the cash flow
because once this is in full swing, the cash just isn't gonna be
there.

Exactly it's ON and QB, but this greatly effects loads from upstate NY to Michigan. Diving around the lakes makes no sense at all.

And another thing that has been discussed on here many,many,many,many,many times is that you don't have to buy some extra piece of equipment to limit the speed.

Inaccurate statement - only applies to heavy-duty vehicles over 10K GVW. Mebbe us vans and Sprinters will get busy and we won't have to:

BAN THE VAN !!!!!!

You don't have to buy an extra piece of equipment but you do have to pay to have your ECM changed to limit the speed.

I'm thinkin' that truck dealerships near the border are gonna be putting in an express lane for setting ECM's.
