There was no official company wide notice other than a posted letter on the wall at the shop counter. I would have never known about this, except another driver showed me the sticker on the truck put there by the mechanic afterwards. Be aware, it seems most major companies will probably follow suit as fuel prices continue upwards.


well, now that you have a slow truck you can run the middle lane all the time, be sure to stay on the phone and cuss out anyone who has the nerve to ask you to move over..
Can I do that toooooo???? Please????? I really wanna - honestly I do!!!

Uhh, ok. Nobody was suggesting that they didn't have the right but if it makes you feel better...
Well, if we all know that the companies have the right to govern the speed on the trucks they own, why exactly are there so many people whining in this thread because they are doing so?
Because they are making less money, didn't you read the thread?
