Because they allow themselves to be screwed over. It's their CHOICE. Dont stand there and blame others for you condition. Stop that garbage thinking !😊
They put speed limiters on trucks and I'm done. I usually go 68 mph, but I NEED the ability to speed up to get around dangerous, careless, inattentive drivers, or to simply pass another truck in a timely manner without plugging up the entire interstate.
i agree, i do the posted speed limits, and it does annoy me when those that cant do them get in the hammer lane and equalize/ slow down and cause mile long back ups or 4wheelers to start weaving in between us all causing a dangerous situation. tho other thing ia those that seem to get scared to pass another rig as soon as they have started to pass.
@@chrisnorthcutt3412 The speed-limiter idea is another tragic example of ignorant bureaucracies justifying their own existence by passing harmful laws. Which, I might add, is not a constitutional right. Only CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO PASS LAWS!!
Those are shit loads by the time you pay your insurance fuel tires taxes on everything and all the bull shit you'll. Are at about 50 cents a mile. Taxes fuel oil. You have to factor all the bull shit in. Just because it shows you make 2500 on a load, you need to facter all the other bull shit in like license tolls .it all ads up in the end
42 years behind the wheel, and to this day, I can never figure out why a government agency, in control over the trucking industry, has never had any truck drivers on their decision board.
They don't because they went to college to do this to us,and most of us don't care for politics and we have no college degrees,yes the more educated you are the dumber you become,and yes these people are dumb,
All to dumb down the industry, maybe have better stringent training standards and stop handing out CDLs like it’s Halloween stop the foreign hiring practices
Ive had it press my brakes for me while i was going uphill heavy loaded and a tree shadow tripped the sensor it also brakes pretty hard when people are already moving well into the exit ramps not even in my lane but it senses something and hit the brakes.
There is a big difference between a 4000 lb car ,and a75000 lb + truck with automatic brake activation. As far as the speed limiters, I get tailgated enough sitting in the right lane going 70mph, I can’t imagine what fun we are going to have, when everyone is running the same speed. And since we are opening up pandora’s box, when is the government going to do something about all these drivers who are driving around with out a CDL issued here in the country, and no proper training on the rules and regulations of the USA
Speed limiter, bad idea. Most of the problem is unqualified drivers that have no patience. Auto brakes, bad idea. If drivers would pay attention and look beyond the hood might make a difference. I have only been driving since 1976 and have seen trucking go into the toilet. Elogs and 14 hr rule created the parking problem, also drivers trashing where the park. IMO.
It sounds like cheap freight to me . 46 years of experience no accidents no dot violations all on paper logs . And yes rates are way off but 3rd party brokers aren't need.
Problem with speed limiters is drivers are making up for it by flying through town. Speed limiters 45. They going to go 63. 55 they are going 63. 75 they are going 63
gwt rod of that auto brake crap, ever time a dang car or sometimes a rig(mostly the box trucks) cuts back over too close to me it activates it. plus that audible beep when a vehicle starts to yo-yo in front of me gets extremely annoying and is a literal headache.
Its sad its only a matter of time before trucking gets the last death blow and the roads are already dangerous with the rotation of replacing experienced drivers with inexperienced. And that will only get worse as companies already have to lie to drivers to get them to work for them.
Closest I've ever came to hitting someone is with a truck equipped with auto braking. Trucks going slower only increases fatigue and is an overreach that will not help safety when the majority of people we share the highway with barely have to take a test to get a license and cause a majority of the accidents on the roads.
I'm not a fan, from what I've experienced, not good, too many false alarms which are really scary when they happen. I can't imagine a false alarm on a loaded truck in the winter going down a hill. They need to do more testing.
It doesn't matter who's in office they are still going to pass all three new regulations because it is new technology and there's money to be made. Everyone said that ELD would not happen back in the 90s and look at where we are now
That automatic braking mess is dangerous it pickup Jersey walls, glare, invisible objects slamming brakes....that's very dangerous in winter weather.....they can put a system that let drivers know they are following to close and that traffic is ahead to speak through speakers instead slamming brakes....
This is what EVERY truck driver needs to start spreading, both on the internet and also to their 'representatives' (yeah, I know...representatives representing nothing but themselves): Mandating speed limiters on trucks may sound safe, but it endangers everyone by creating deadly speed differentials. Limited trucks become bottlenecks, forcing faster vehicles into risky maneuvers and increasing crash risks. The NHTSA proves that uniform traffic flow saves lives, yet speed limiters disrupt this balance. Meanwhile, self-indulgent bureaucrats, blissfully unaware of real-world impacts, impose ‘laws’ without constitutional mandate or practical knowledge. These office-bound policymakers push legislation to grandstand on safety while disregarding the chaos they create on highways. Safety shouldn't mean slower-it means smarter. Let's prioritize training, adaptive tech, and sensible regulation over clueless, headline-chasing directives.
They should put speed limiters and stricter regulations on box trucks. They are always in the fast lane not paying attention to their surroundings. They always hit your mirrors
I believe that both parties hate the transportation industry and that is a big reason they both support self driving trucks, which in return they will cut jobs but increase profits. Speed limiters has been in question for the last three administrations and next year we probably will get the regulation put into law. All these companies closing and neither candidates have mentioned them . The best thing we can have happen is regulation cuts and we know which party will do that
Speed limiters violate state rights for Congress gave the power to the states to set their own limits. They have also been proven to be more dangerous when you see what happened when OH axed the split speed limit and it ser just to one limit.
$35 per hour is a great starting pay for all truck drivers + unloading pay+traffic congestion pay+break down pay+ delay pay+reload pay+back haul pay+dead head pay+plus fueling pay+safe driver bonuses!!!!!!
I took a load from LA to salt Lake for 2550, dead head back to LA, and now loading LA to Chicago for 5300.. both 1 stop, 1st was 6100ibs and this one to Chicago is 23k
I am 70. One years old, I started driving truck when I was probably 21.The more I drove the worst of rules got so when I turned 67 years old I handed in my CD L so I will never climb back into another truck.It's just not worth the time.The effort or the pain fighting with the government the DO.T and everybody else
Neither Party has done anything good for Truckers. Both want to control Truckers and the Industry. More independents being pushed out. They want everyone to be an employee.
We don't need speed limiters that's dangerous...cars traveling past us faster and and a truck moving slow not safe......they pasing everything fast for trucks and not even caring to deal with brokers and cheap freight rates......
Hi Vitaly! I have this for you all. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment. Timothy 1:7 ❤ Pray, VOTE, and keep on trucking, Baby.
UK truck have speed limiters fitted to all truck and are limited to 90kmh and the aebs is good and has its bad points. The good points if your travelling to close to a vehicle in front in slows down with out you knowing but the bad point is that a car cuts you up the braking system can be abit hard it's all about safety
I'm retired now. I was driving for 30 years. I hate when the government when they put idiots that don't know anything about trucking to be in charge of what regulations. As for president, I hope for the trucking industry that Trump wins if Camila wins and you're going to lose all your trucks, the electric trucks
Saying an excellent job for such bad rates, will not fool anyone. Only been doing this a year and i averaged $3.37 all miles this week and heaviest i was is 25k pounds. Grossed $8,550 this week and didnt run hard at all. You need to start saying no to cheap freight. YOU are part of the problem right now
I'd love to see those rate cons. NO sarcasm either. Seriously I'm barely grossing six right now as of 11/01. But about 4weeks ago I did have a 7,600 8 day run. So yeah I must remember your statement could be talking about that same week, so yea.
You must don't have no old school dad or uncle's that drove back then. That little $8,550 ain't no money. They made double to triple times that back then. You do the math, rates are bad. It's more to saying no to cheap loads.
Speed limiters would be an absolute disaster. I think if they try it, it will be so bad they will have to repeal it. But, they will let it go on long enough to lose thousands of drivers.
I am new generation. I disagree of all new Trucking law that you mentioned. The DEP on truck is already good environment and no need on electric trucking. Electric trucking will cause land destruction for the raw materials for battery and choas for no place for recycling. The same speeding will cause chaos traffic and accident and I don't see any safety, it's a lie that big company want to save on their savings. Any government restrictions on the truck, is a hell out for trucker
We do have speed limiters, they’re called Speed Limit signs🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏽♂️. When I started with Builders Transport 30yrs ago we all had governors on our trucks. BT- 62mph (Dedicated Fleet- 65mph), Schneider- 55/ 60mph, Swift- 55mph, JB Hunt- 55mph and MS Carriers- 60mph. TBH, you’ll be taking another portion of revenue from these local counties by implementing that, so good luck.😂😂😂
The Automatic breaking system happens alot on accident goin thru construction or goin up mountains and it picks up on the overhead signs or bridges because the trucks on an angle or goin around curves on mountains,, and let's be honest. If this takes place in inclement weather snow frozen roads black ice even rain in some instances, and in traffic this can cause serious tragic catastrophic failure to maintain control of the truck causing potential high numbers of deaths and or life altering injury, even if someone cuts you off to close to your front bumper with the break slam sensor on any slick surface a skid and or jacknife could occur, it's defiantly worth further scrutiny and worth further investigative conversation by those to whom have influence over such matters
Not sure who this guy is. But he can’t be more wrong. No agency or government can force you to add these things to your current truck. Maybe company trucks. And newer model truck. But if you have a truck bought before this comes into effect you will not have to add these things to your current truck as an O/O.
The trucking business has turned into the same clown show our politics has gone the last several years. I was an Independant for 53 years. In 2023 I called it quits. I have never seen more dangerous driving in the industry. Seems like the more dumb rules and regulations the clueless polititions and techy jokers looking at their computers do, the worse it gets. The problem is, the big freight businesses. Their training and hiring practices are a flimsy joke.
Hate to be a Debbie downer but the trucking industry is going the wrong way. Hits off to the guys trying to survive through it but something has got to give when it takes 2 dollars per mile just to move an empty truck with a hired driver those rates ain't gonna cut it. Not everyone out here will drive a plastic truck full of a bunch of useless so called safety electronics. Again sorry for being so down on it all but somebody going to be losing money if they want me to do the driving.
Ontario Canada implemented speed limiters for trucks some years ago. There was a lot of noise and anger. Obviously I was against it . But life continues and the trucks keep rolling. I don't think any driver left the industry because of it.
I been driving Semi's sense 1977 , and all three of them things that you just mentioned, are nothing other than Bull and Cow crap, in my profession opinion !
Yeah and they are saying we have to pay for all this extra crap ? No that's against the CONSITUTION. The govt can't force us to buy this crap to equip the older trucks. They can mandate the OEM'S to produce them in the future. But the trucks prior to this mandate, they would have soooo many lawsuits it isn't funny.
Trump just said, He didn't realize in his 1st term that trucking is highest regulated industry and this term aleast half of these reg's are going to revoked. Catch up.
Speed should be 5mph over limit and GPS set. Finally all the people tailgating truck will get automatic brakechecked everytime the idiot next to us moves into our lane leaving less than 10ft between us.😂
Trump has been the President before. Can you give us a list of what he actually did for truck drivers other than take photo op’s. We were forced to start using the ELD’S. and new hours of service during his presidency. Oh yeah he redid NAFTA, but did nothing to stop trucks from Mexico or Canada from driving in the US and taking loads away from American truck driver. How did that help American truck drivers? So now give me that list of all the good things he did for truck drivers. Neither party does anything good for truck drivers and that why the trucking industry is in the all time low its in.
I think i have better ideas for all truckers ! Get all that distracting technology and self driven Bull and Cow crap back out of them trucks, and let them professional defensive driving real truckers on Thier C.B. Radio's haul at everyone's posted speed limits !
Under trump elogs came into effect , no help here, under trump gliders got canceled, no help. I dont know on where trump will come through for truckers?definitely not for o/o
And who is going to pay for all this expenses again?…the little trucker….from those ridiculous rates. In CT for example,the State imposed per loaded mile fee….even today,small carriers can’t recover the high toll cost…so the little guy always pays for the Communist guys all the bills.
First regulation, get rid of the ELDs, that's the cause of speeders, Second regulation, stop flooding the trucking industry with more regulations. Third regulation until these BS regulations keep going on, the trucking industry will continue to lose many drivers. The forth regulation, stop adding more BS technology in these trucks that don't work and always break down LIKE DEF BS. The fifth regulation is stop hiring fruit cakes that haven't grown a brain yet. THE sixth regulation is Quit because its not worth the BS and stress.
The problem is the fool drivers that need to lose their license not just ticketed. Hyper speeding in construction and tailgating are grounds for loss of license.
If these tech autonomous vehicle controls take over speed, lane stability and braking functions I say DOT can no longer hold the driver responsible for how the truck is driven as I am no longer in control of my truck. If anyone is not yet on to what they are doing let me spell it out to you people. The final goal is to get the truck to operate autonomously and only have a monkey like Mercury space missions, except we will be the monkey, only there to have someone to blame for any collisions. After 27 years driving big trucks I don't need a mud covered sensor to keep me from hitting anyone. I'll take an electronic force field to keep cars from running into me though.
Driving one with 65 mph governor, if on cruise can get to 70. Mostly you're stuck behind slow movers. Also has auto brakes , make sure plate isn't blocking sensor it'll brake itself out of nowhere found that on 1st run. Those and side sensors are annoying as a mfr. For cruise it'll adjust speed when coming up on vehicles. Good for those that want to be 5ft at 65 on others tails. That's just bad driving anyways. Don't need more regs I'm sure there's 1000 in the green book as is. Did this guy just say excellent rate 1.76 cross country? Good miles, low rate. Governing below 70 is more a Hazzard, blocking a lane n can't get over for merging traffic or shoulder issues like tow trucks or pd too well. Auto braking is a issue if you aren't paying attention n shouldn't be driving.

That's because we're being phased out. They feel like we're a dime a dozen. Autonomous trucks will completely take over in 20 years
Auto braking is totally bonkers
Ive had it press my brakes for me while i was going uphill heavy loaded and a tree shadow tripped the sensor
it also brakes pretty hard when people are already moving well into the exit ramps not even in my lane but it senses something and hit the brakes.
It means....don't trust the driver, but the driver is held responsible. Reject this stuff far harder than you think you need to.
They limit my speed im done

Where are all these driver without a CDL?
The speed problem is the Governed trucks speeding thru construction zones, small towns ,parking lots etc, not the top speed on the highway
Everybody knows that technology and older drivers don't really mix well
Do you know how to fill out a log book? Probably not.
@robertnewellsr.3133 I'm sure I been driving longer than you a hole
I don't believe for one second, that most of thier changes to the trucking industry, is a good thing ! But, they may have to learn the hard way !

More deaths when speed slows down because cars won’t slow down
Don’t huge corporations realize that these regulations they are pushing are dangerous?
They dont care, it is a cost benefit equation to them

Has nothing to do with safety. The FMCSA said that it is the big trucking company's that are pushing for these regulations.

It's really simple if trucks need to do 65 all vehicles need to do 65 hell I get passed buy cars every single day going well over the speed limit
Elon already said a few weeks ago that automated trucks isn't even possible till at least 2035 to 2040.
Too often having the stupid Auto brakes activating on curves, guardrails, and sunsets....
Yeah I don't know how they plan to optimize the technology. So far I have been pretty unhappy with what I've seen in cars.
Rates are bad
Where address to go meet up to go on strike
I been driving Semi's sense 1977 , and all three of them things that you just mentioned, are nothing other than Bull and Cow crap, in my profession opinion !
Yeah and they are saying we have to pay for all this extra crap ? No that's against the CONSITUTION. The govt can't force us to buy this crap to equip the older trucks. They can mandate the OEM'S to produce them in the future. But the trucks prior to this mandate, they would have soooo many lawsuits it isn't funny.
Thanks for the info Vitaly 👍🏾
Yes sir, thanks for stopping by.
No speed limiters
Trump just said, He didn't realize in his 1st term that trucking is highest regulated industry and this term aleast half of these reg's are going to revoked. Catch up.
It'll take untill then just to get the infrastructer (charging stations) by 2035 to 2040
Federal top speed? 100 mph!!
They can't control private vehicles unless U let them
Speed should be 5mph over limit and GPS set.
Finally all the people tailgating truck will get automatic brakechecked everytime the idiot next to us moves into our lane leaving less than 10ft between us.😂
Speed limiter. I’m glad I’m done with trucking. I can this already truckers not letting other truckers pass. Not good !
Private new industrys. Battery trailer bank.
Vote Trump🗽 not the TRAMP 💩👈😎
Like that you forgetting to add clueless I'm that 😂
President Trump wine already addressing this no on self diving trucks no on speed limiters.
Biggest traffic problems ever
GO VOTE TRUMP!!!!! SWAMP THE VOTE!!!!!! TO BIG TO RIG!!!!!!!!!! TRUMP 2024!!!!!
Nope
Trump has been the President before. Can you give us a list of what he actually did for truck drivers other than take photo op’s. We were forced to start using the ELD’S. and new hours of service during his presidency. Oh yeah he redid NAFTA, but did nothing to stop trucks from Mexico or Canada from driving in the US and taking loads away from American truck driver. How did that help American truck drivers? So now give me that list of all the good things he did for truck drivers. Neither party does anything good for truck drivers and that why the trucking industry is in the all time low its in.
Get a Grip
@@joerubalcava11ELD's passed 2012 ie; MAP-21. NAFTA was Clinton's mess. Try harder
@@joerubalcava11l can't see earlier reply so again eld's passed in '12 and nafta in 90's
Drag everyone you know to the polls!! VOTE TRUMP!!!! SAVE US!!!!!
Trump ain't saving you you better say Jesus Christ
Wij hebben begrenzers op 55 mijl in Europa af 1994 is frustrerend en zenuwslopend Wij hebben ook al ebs hier in België Europa altijd maar meer regels
I think i have better ideas for all truckers ! Get all that distracting technology and self driven Bull and Cow crap back out of them trucks, and let them professional defensive driving real truckers on Thier C.B. Radio's haul at everyone's posted speed limits !
Under trump elogs came into effect , no help here, under trump
gliders got canceled, no help. I dont know on where
trump will come through for truckers?definitely not for o/o
And who is going to pay for all this expenses again?…the little trucker….from those ridiculous rates.
In CT for example,the State imposed per loaded mile fee….even today,small carriers can’t recover the high toll cost…so the little guy always pays for the Communist guys all the bills.
All you good old boy professional defensive drivers may have to stay home, sooner or later ! It sounds like it's going to be sooner nowadays !
First regulation, get rid of the ELDs, that's the cause of speeders,
Second regulation, stop flooding the trucking industry with more regulations.
Third regulation until these BS regulations keep going on, the trucking industry will continue to lose many drivers.
The forth regulation, stop adding more BS technology in these trucks that don't work and always break down LIKE DEF BS.
The fifth regulation is stop hiring fruit cakes that haven't grown a brain yet.
THE sixth regulation is Quit because its not worth the BS and stress.
The problem is the fool drivers that need to lose their license not just ticketed. Hyper speeding in construction and tailgating are grounds for loss of license.
European trucks have been Governed down for ever
Needs to not hired noone if not usa citizens with paper
It is time to get out of trucking

If these tech autonomous vehicle controls take over speed, lane stability and braking functions I say DOT can no longer hold the driver responsible for how the truck is driven as I am no longer in control of my truck. If anyone is not yet on to what they are doing let me spell it out to you people. The final goal is to get the truck to operate autonomously and only have a monkey like Mercury space missions, except we will be the monkey, only there to have someone to blame for any collisions. After 27 years driving big trucks I don't need a mud covered sensor to keep me from hitting anyone. I'll take an electronic force field to keep cars from running into me though.
🤔
Driving one with 65 mph governor, if on cruise can get to 70. Mostly you're stuck behind slow movers. Also has auto brakes , make sure plate isn't blocking sensor it'll brake itself out of nowhere found that on 1st run. Those and side sensors are annoying as a mfr. For cruise it'll adjust speed when coming up on vehicles. Good for those that want to be 5ft at 65 on others tails. That's just bad driving anyways. Don't need more regs I'm sure there's 1000 in the green book as is. Did this guy just say excellent rate 1.76 cross country? Good miles, low rate.
Governing below 70 is more a Hazzard, blocking a lane n can't get over for merging traffic or shoulder issues like tow trucks or pd too well. Auto braking is a issue if you aren't paying attention n shouldn't be driving.
Donalds tariffs will reduce the trucking industry
