    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    You have 4 choices the way I see it... 1. Argue and or appeal the policy and have Ont and PQ separate from the rest of Canada. 2. Tell Fedex your truck is complaint (lie) and refuse all Canadian loads...:eek: 3. Comply..:o 4. Transfer out of WG.:(

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    This what I've found.... The law is quite specific and refers to all vehicles operating in Ontario regardless of base plate, the law will be enforced by police forces and MTO officers. Fines for non-compliance are not yet set however, the law allows between $250 - $20,000. The Ministry of...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    With numbers like yours and Phils...it really wouldn't hurt your refusal stats.....and you'd probably pick-up another load in it's place....to offset any lose.

    Then why change your truck Phil? Plead your case to Fedex...go higher...fight city hall....your logic is logical. Were only talking 2 provinces out of 10 here or 20% of Canada... If you don't do it....force their hand....do they really want to lose a truck like yours over this? Call their bluff.

    Only from the stories from some Fedexer's that I've heard....They pushed back, stood their ground.....IF they just accepted it as gospel...they'd be working cheaper....

    When they change the procedures in mid stream is a different thing Linda...when you signed on this wasn't a requirement....now it is.... I know they gave you the required 30 day notice of the change...didn't they? And it was added to the contract as a condition? In defense of Fedex...They...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    Me neither.....it would appear to be more a demand then a request....by changing a requirement to me would be equivelent to changing the contract one signed.....Making it a condition of the contract....It maybe the same as when the Feds changed the rates for cargo vans....many thought the date...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    Maybe so Phil...I hope for some's sake they make it a more local law...and then the OPP can just enforce the speed limit closer....along the Windsor corridor 119km is pretty well safe...120 and you are a sitting duck....especially in the Chatham area....I think they were trained in Ohio...

    How's the Water?

    The extra costs that are sometimes incurred on a refused load the savings would be in the rate....each load settlement would be accompanied with a copy of the actual billing. Upfront, in your face and very personal....with rates you could live with.

    Guess the point is....it's all individual scenerios...priorities... Yes we can both be correct. The reality is, it's a law and one must deal with it. Bottom line.
