Only the US government could come up with an idea thus stupid. This not only won’t reduce accidents, but will cause many more.

Amen. Everyone will have to go around these trucks, which is much more dangerous. Especially if the cap on these is at 68, which is less than the speed limit in a lot of places.

Actually, in Germany and most of Europe trucks are limited to 100km/hr on the Autobahns.

They stay in the right lane where they belong.

Swift has been doing this for about 10 years.

It’s not limited, but if they detect your truck is going faster than 67 you had better have a good excuse for it.

Trucks NEED to exceed this speed. They need to exceed often 80 mph.

And it will run up the cost of everything delivered by truck as well as bus fares ... oh, wait I bet the feds expect drivers to take a cut in pay.
