About the middle of the video, she skims right through the part of getting rid of all this talk about speed limiters. That was as big an issue to me as all this emission garbage.
I have seen a few videos that say technically you can't delete your truck, but if you do, there's nobody there to really come after you

I'm pretty sure speed limiters are not going to go away. The insurance lobby will fight that with every dime they have. Plus, you have to think about how a major portion of these drivers would act without speed limiters. Many of these trucks are geared fast/run slow for fuel economy. If you were to give them an unleashed truck, they would be trying to run it flat out through downtown pick your favorite town. Then the amount of speeding tickets accrued would put many of them out of a job, further making the driver shortage a larger reality.
I'd rather money be spent on doubling law enforcement on the roads to combat these idiots that come out and want to play games with trucks for that big payout. If there was any degree of enforcement on the highways, maybe some of this nonsense would stop. You need more cops, then you need to get rid of the liberal judges that simply toss out the offender because he has a good record. Screw that. Make them pay the $500 fine, court costs and their attorney fees. Maybe that will slow them down a little.
There is no money in the budget for LEO's to patrol, but let some dickhead politician come to town and there are 40 troopers and 100 local LEO's guarding the motorcade and shutting down every road they get near.

I didn't phrase my statement right. I don't want limiters mandated for ALL trucks (as in the one I'm driving). I agree that the big outfits that hire morons and the no speak English crowd have to control them somehow.

I agree. A privately owned truck should be at the control of the owner, not mandated by some bureaucrat that never even sat in the seat of a pick up truck. An O/O should be able to operate his equipment as he sees fit and operates reasonably within the confines of the written laws.
These jackasses that get out there and run side by each should both be ticketed. The one passing for not having the capabilities to start with and the one being passed for not getting off the go slow pedal and letting the 1/4 mph faster truck go by and clear the left lane out.

Sarcastic remark goes here
Insurance companies don't need government to require speed limiters. Insurance companies simply give discounts for companies that comply with their unreasonable demands.
That's how every POS bottom feeder fleet ended up with cameras in the trucks. Ain't no laws required, or needed.
Big insurance companies make up the rules themselves.

A driver shortage would be a good thing.

If the shortage was actually a real thing instead of just the average person's response to low wages and horrible working conditions, there would be bare empty store shelves everywhere, all the time.

First they had different speed limits for cars and trucks were 55MPH. They got rid of that and now want speed limiters that are kind of the same thing as different speed limits.
But what is the right limit of speed? It maybe 65 in Ohio but 65 in Texas is slow.
Just for the record I'm against speed limiters. I think they are unsafe and cause congestion on the highways.
Back in the day of the double nickel the trucks were wide open, and you took your chances and paid your money if you got caught.

Speed limiters in Ontario and Quebec are "mandatory". However, there is no real enforcement on that unless you get caught speeding.
They used to want to hook up to your ECM but there was pushback from drivers and drivers wanting the LEO's to sign an agreement before plugging into the ECM, that if they caused any damage to the truck by plugging into the ECM, they would be liable for any damage. They lost interest in plugging into the ECM.
Unfortunately, the guy leading the charge against speed limiters and law enforcement having the right to plug into the ECM died of cancer before it ever got to court.
The new gen will be waving there hands out the windows and staring into there phones and tablets while screaming look mom no hands

I like my tablet.
Correction. I like having a tablet. My particular tablet is kind of slow so I keep looking for a faster replacement that's the same size. Preferably also with a better screen.
Mine has a 4G radio in it so it's difficult to find a suitable replacement.
I actually got what i voted for and it's incredible!!!
i still have a 9th gen ipad
