    Canada Canada Speed Limits, Are You Concerend?

    Re: Canada Speed Limits, are you ready? As far as I know the law went into effect a while ago, they have been enforcing it since June 1. There have been many posts about the speed limiters, maybe you should read up on the posts, that might answer most of your 4 questioms.

    User Titles

    I believe a junior member is 1-49 posts, member is 50-99 posts, senior member is 100 and over posts. It has nothing to do with how long you have been using EO, the different member groups are determined by the number of posts you have made.

    Speed Limiter Experience Direct From Canada

    Years ago the U.S. planned to switch to the metric system but it was rejected by us citizens who knew better, thank God. That is why some things like soda, milk, bottled water, etc., are marked in liters.

    Decent place to buy batteries?

    About ten years ago, after having repeated problems with batteries in my Freightliner Century,I was told to stay away from Alliance batteries as they were an inferior battery. This came from a Freightliner dealer and a Fleet Pride parts center. After I changed to another brand of battery my...

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    Nobody is making Canadians run in the US, if they don't want to follow the HOS rules they can just run in Canada. Its the same with the speed limiters, if you don't want to limit your truck then don't run in Canada

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    I have to agree with you Phil, Its the whole package, We will just have to wait and see what shakes out with the speed limiter requirement. I have heard, unconfirmed of course, that so far less than 20% of WG units have chosen as of this date to have speed limiters set on their trucks. It...

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    Panther does not "require it's Elite Services" trucks to run in Canada, or force them to have their trucks speed limited as FDCC does, as far as I know. Therefore some WG units might make the switch to Panther. Panther could wind up a big winner if enough FDCC WG trucks decide to go to...

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    Yes I have taken an express load when an express truck was sitting at the same spot. What diffrence does it make if another truck can run cheaper than I can, it has no bearing on anthing as long as I make a profit on the load. As far as giving a load to a non WG truck over a WG truck, now...

    I kind of get the feeling that you type the words but the words come from some one else.

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    No offence but I expected just that type of company rhetoric to come from you about the speed limiters, and non WG trucks, such as yours, ready to take WG loads away from us. If we have to we will comply with the speed limiter policy set by FECC. But why just have the WG trucks put the speed...

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    I thought "ALL" FedEx CC units are required to be able to go into Canada. If that is the case then why are they just making the speed limiters mandatory for WG units. It should be mandatory for the whole fleet. from what I read express trucks are not being required to have the speed limiters put...
