That would make more sense. Seems to me that the truck limiter law should only apply to trucks domiciled in ON and QC. Layoutshooter

Just see a red "X" here. Using Explorer. Layoutshooter

The pics don't work!!! Darn!! Layoutshooter

Yes, I understand. I just always assume that if a government passes a law there is money for them somewhere in the mix. They are all soooo dirty!! I wonder, are tourists going to be required to have snows? That might really hurt thier tourist business. Layoutshooter

It is a tough world out there. The rules will continue to change. It will be hard to for TVAL trucks to stay in business and FDCC needs the TVAL trucks. The will soon be a "crunch" time and there will have to be something worked out. From what I can see the business is moving away from...

Yeah, I read that. I have never had a problem with A/S radials. I can go anywhere that snow tires go. The QC tire stores must have a huge surplus of snow tires. Layoutshooter

Good side business for a QC trucking company. Sell the stuff over the internet!! Layoutshooter

I agree, I have the choice, it is just not a good choice. My choices are, be forced to do something that I feel is dangerous or lose my livelyhood. Anyway, I will adapt. I always do. It will be interesting to say the least. I really hope it causes no problems. Only time will tell. Nothing is for...

I have my lift axle controls outside of the cab. ON and QC should have a provision to allow those of us who drive in other places to fix it. After all, if I complie when I am checked what difference does it make to them? Unless they are meanies. Layoutshooter

I shall do that!!! Maybe FDCC should buy several copies of the software and have it available at terminals near the border at little or no cost to drivers. Then I could run my truck as I see fit in the real world. Layoutshooter

There is the cost involved as well, about $100 bucks a pop to change it each time. I have NOT been able to find any software to do it myself. In fact, I had one Detroit Diesel place tell me that I was not able to buy the software at all. It is only available for dealers. He quoted a price in the...

You got that right OVM. They are unable or unwilling to enforce the speed laws and then they assume that because I drive a truck that I am just too stupid to drive legal without that nanny to make me. Yeah, NightCreacher, I am well aware of that problem. It won't affect me speed wise unless I...

Well there, nothing can help. I don't like going there, we do, but I don't have fun. Layoutshooter

Yes, it would be difficult to cross dock some of the freight we carry. I sure hope that this new law causes a ton of traffic problems up there. They deserve it!! LOL!! Layoutshooter

You got it, OVM. We have no choice. No limiter, no White Glove. Not a good thing when you have no choices other than bad choices. By the way, Mrs. Layoutshooter and I had a wonderful time last night!! The pub we went to was crowded and noisy. Good good and half a zillion different beers in...

Yes, we are REQUIRED to speed limit our trucks to remain White Glove. At least the straight trucks are. Layoutshooter

Thanks Piper1, we shall see what happens. I hope there are no problems. I do still resent the idea that ON and QC think that I am too stupid to drive at 105kph without an on board nanny. It is kind of insulting. So is the notion that they are so sure I will commit the horrible crime of speeding...

Just about 2 weeks ago a TT started into my lane while I was still there. There was no lane to my left and traffice behind me. I was doing 62mph (my norm) at the time. I gave the truck all the pedal I had, I was doing 68mph when I got clear. I MIGHT not have made that move in time had I been...

I hope you are right but I don't see it. We shall see. Taxes are going to go way up. That will drive down employement and business in both countries. That will leave less money every year for health Then they will raise taxes, which will ...................... "And the beat goes on" Layoutshooter

When do I get my bailout? Man, why should I bail out that trucking company when my own is hurting, mainly due to the failures and poor planning of FEMA and the CDC? All while under the control of a House and Senate both of which had Dumb-O-Crat majorities at the time. This is really starting to...
