WASHINGTON — The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is planning to unveil its final proposal regarding commercial motor vehicle speed limiters next year.
The agency wrote in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) September rulemaking report that June 2023 is the target date.
In May, the FMCSA sought comments on the proposal, which will affect vehicles with a gross weight of 26,001 pounds or more equipped with an electronic control unit that’s capable of being governed.
A governed speed has not yet been determined, according to the FMCSA.
The move is a follow-up to a 2016 joint proposal between the FMCSA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for CMV speed limiters that didn’t gain traction.
The newest proposal garnered around 15,000 comments in its initial reveal on the Federal Register as part of a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.
A representative of Beyond Dirt LLC wrote on the comment page: “Limiting speeds in trucks will not make them safer. All it will do is impede traffic in places where the truck speed limit is higher, making driving a truck more dangerous for the truck driver because the cars around it will be making aggressive maneuvers to get around it. This law is an over reach, if there is a problem with a few truck speeding, you need to use the State Patrol to in force the speed limit on those law breaking drivers and not make this job more dangerous for the rest of us.”
Karl Wendtand wrote: “This is a stupid idea, the danger of more accidents from cars hitting trucks will go up more if you do this. I own my truck and even though it will go much faster I drive it at the speed that gives me the best safety and fuel mileage. I have over 42 years on the road and have never had an accident, or even a ticket in 30 years. Punishing me and other professional drivers for actions by car drivers is not only unfair and discriminating to those of us that do the hard work of delivering everything you buy. If you really want to lose the older and safer drivers then pass this regulation.the driver shortage will increase by over 50% and you will destroy this industry.”
Daniel Kautz wrote: “If you are going to put speed limiters on semis and big trucks.. then you need to put them on the car and the pickups also ..they are the ones doing 110 mph down the highway talking on their cell phones using their tablets and laptops that are attached to their dash.”
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) also opposes the proposal.
The OOIDA Foundation points to research that states the frequency of interactions with other vehicles increases 227% when traveling 10 mph below the speed of traffic.
“Considering that the United States has highways with speed limits posted at 80 mph or more, a truck that is speed limited at 60 mph may have to travel 20-25 mph slower than the flow of traffic,” according to an article on Land Line, the news magazine for OOIDA.
A study by University of Arkansas researchers in 2006 found that speed limit differentials compromise highway safety.
OOIDA also points out that regulating a truck’s top speed does not stop it from speeding.
“Although a speed limiter mandate set at 60 mph would force trucks to drive well below the posted speed limit on most highways, it would not prevent them speeding through city traffic, construction zones or in inclement weather,” OOIDA officials stated.
The OOIDA Foundation says that “research shows that forcing truckers to lose time during high-speed zones can encourage them to driver faster than they should through slower zones so that they can make their deliveries on time.”
There is some support for the proposal, however.
Chris Spear, president of the American Trucking Associations (ATA), said his organization approves of speed limiters.
“ATA is pleased that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is pursuing a constructive, data-driven approach to the issue of truck speed limiters in its latest proposal,” Spear wrote in a news release earlier this year.
“We intend to thoroughly review FMCSA’s proposal, and we look forward to working with the agency to shape a final rule that is consistent with our policy supporting the use of speed limiters in conjunction with numerous other safety technologies,” he said.
There are some companies that have been using speed limiters on their rigs for years.
Walmart, for example, sets the top speed of its rigs at 65 mph.

This is ridiculous this is how you treat us drivers that sacrifice our time away from our family to feed your family.You think there’s a shortage now on the shelves just wait. Also let a natural disaster occur it’s going to take forever to get them supplies.
I’ll be going to speed limit get over into the left lane to allow merging traffic to merge on the highway as soon as I’m able to get over you can see the aggression on the cars as Inconvenienced them. This will only trigger them more to disrespect us.
Plus this will make drivers more sleepy! How about you folks at the office put speed limiters on your cars & drive as much as we do. Y’all have so much to say and try to change in this industry but you’re not out here living in it! If this passes I will quit! You’re not gonna be putting my life at danger. Y’all r getting out of hand! Why don’t y’all worry about fixing these roads and highways and bridges before coming at us who is helping feed/ support this country! Y’all really don’t give a shit about us Drivers out here our opinion does not matter over it 😡
Some typos but you get the point!
Get a different job then…people sick and tired of you doing 95 mph down hills cause you think your saving time. If you don’t like the job regulated by the government stfu and or go work at wendys
A speed governor will not a truck from speeding down a hill. A thing called gravity will do it’s deal every time!
Waaaa i wanna go fast you all think you have some sort of skill a monkey can do you job especially now with the automatic stop saying shelves will be empty nobody cares you all be replaced by a foreigner who wont bitch like you lazy rednecks take your trucks away all company trucks hahaha
I hope you blow a steering tire, and crash into the back of my truck and burn to death, me, I won’t even feel you hit my trailer.
we don’t do 95 down hills and we’re not trying to make up time speeding down a hill. We are just trying to get up enough momentum to make it up the next hill at or as close to the posted speed as possible. Keep in mind that most of us trucks weigh at or around 80,000 pounds and have a hard time going up some steep inclines. As a perspective, your car weighs around 3,000 to 4,000, an elephant weighs around 2,000. That’s 1.5 elephants per auto and 40 elephants per truck. The agility, stopping or accelerating power of a truck is severely under matched by the automobile. Slowing the truck down will only increase the differential disability even further causing more interactions with autos.
That’s still not a legitimate reason to speed, especially going down grades like ,Cabbage, Grapevine or Monteagle. Cabbage actually has a pamphlet about the grade and how to drive down it. The biggest reason for accidents on these grades is equipment failure. You also know when you get to the bottom how hot brakes are getting because the drivers are attempting a new all time speed going down, so you smell their brakes at the bottom. Just do the right thing and follow the traffic laws, it is simple as that, the maybe the government will get out of our business, until then continue to speed and cause the government to have to do something because of all the injuries and deaths from accidents with semis. Tells you why there are so many billboard advertising lawyers saying, “in a truck accident, call so and so, we’ll get you what you deserve.” Thus, ending that truck drivers career and income and all over speed. It is controllable!!!!!!!!!!
My truck is wide open hardly ever do over 72 but your response is hateful and disrespectful, let me see you want a truck to be governed by a driver who drives 140,000 miles a year, after 5 years that driver has driven more than you in your life time, but your okay with a 16 year old doing 75 with a cellphone or even you doing 80 in left lane, you are mislead by big companies who have little dead head and mostly drop and hooks who want this to pass to level the playing field with a 1 to 30 truck small business owners, see your inciting something that rarely happens most accidents are by big carriers who are governed and that’s a fact, so accidents are going to happen because to do a great job you must first get experience
I refuse to put one in. But they can bet if I have to have one installed, I’ll be in the left lane wherever I go impeding traffic. We’ll past the time to stand up and fight. The big box companies are the ones lobbying for this bs. Stop driving for swift and JB Hunt. Buy your own truck if you can or work for smaller companies. Put these mega carriers out of business.
That’s the anwser be a petty piece of shit, go ahead, ride that lane and you’ll be ticketed like the next d-bag
Shut up your cocksucking fag
You’re about as bright as a blown out head light.
They can kiss my ass. The reason we have all the unsafe regulations on us now is because drivers stayed silent, not enough stood up to the over reach. Every driver without a set, needs to grow a pair and stand up and NOT budge.
Stand up for what, unsafe driving. No thanks. The actual reason all this happens are thanks to those who don’t follow traffic laws and regulations such as wight limits. There is a massive lack in integrity amongst truck drives. it’s really simple, do the right thing and we won’t have these issues, but there are so many drivers who believe breaking the law is how we are supposed to drive, it’s not a criminal empire.
Of course ata would support this theyre the mega carriers that can’t keep up with us owner operators
I feel as long as they obey the speed limit they should be able to drive the speed limit just like the rest of us. They do speed many hours or even days away from their families to make sure product or produce are delivered on time. They should be as equal as anyone else on the roads.
spend many hours.. ^
If this passes thru. This is the time for every driver to get together and do a Nationwide strike. Our occupation has more regulations than any other job out there but yet we get to make these unlimited sacrifices for our communities and families. And the average driver pay nationwide is 50k.
They talk about our profession that we are Professional Drivers /CDL/ ClassA.
But yet our job is not considered a skilled Labor. GTFOH!!
I’m still a safe Class A driver over 20yrs. This is an insult to me and the millions of miles I have put my blood sweat and tears over the road!!!
IF this passes thru I’m done with trucking
I’ll will be that statistic with the driver shortage and never look back!!!
If We drivers keep letting these ridiculous regulations pass
and not do nothing about it. This will be a forever rotating door in this profession.
We make to many sacrifices with this job!
It’s about time to make the sacrifices of
standing up for what’s right and hold the line!!
Godspeed to all.
Theoretically a 16 year old can do your job they just won’t let them, sounds like you need a new career bud…or keep bitching about shit that you can’t control. Either way people tired of you fuckers going 90 down hills so I guess they going to regulate you guys cause you don’t seem to get it
A regulator won’t stop downhill speeding dumb fuck!!
I agree regulating speed will not stop down hill speeding. It will increase the number of drivers doing it. As well as increasing the number of idiots speeding through cities, and construction zones.
I am a owner operator my truck is geared to run 86 mph. I don’t speed down long grade, through cities, or construction zones, because I don’t have to. I have the power and gears. I can out pull most other trucks up the other side, that pass me going down. On average I run 68 to 70mph To save fuel.
Limiting the speed of every truck isn’t the answer to the problem. Most of the trucks that pass me in areas where the posted speed limit is below then 65 mph, are trucks that are already limited to a slower speed.
To those of you key board worriers getting on here that have never been behind the wheel of a simi truck need to take a day in the passenger seat. I am a 3rd generation driver I have been driving in one form or another since I was old enough to reach the pedals and see over the dash. I was tough to respect the big trucks because there bigger. And they Bering everything thing that we use and need. It all comes on a truck. From that new smartphone you play with and use, to the dining room table you eat your dinner at. If you can order it online. And chose next day delivery it is put on a truck and delivered to your post office, fed, ups, and even Amazon, guess what those next day loads are put on an owner operators with a truck that runs the speed limit. So your next day shipping becomes 2day depending on where your at. All in the name of safty.
Ok now let’s talk about safety. I can safely drive my truck at the speed limit. And the key to safely operating my truck at a higher speed, is fallow distance. When your driving with distance in mind and know the limits of you vehicle regardless of the size and situation. You can safely operate that vehicle. Then you have to factor in every other driver around you and also anticipate there movements through traffic as well.
As I am driving through a congested traffic condition. I keep enough distance between me and the vehicle in front of me to allow plenty of distance to stop. I see way to many vehicles big and small that want to put themselves in my bubble. What’s that doing that is reducing the distance between me and the vehicle in front of me. What dose the do, it increase the chances that there is an accident between me and theme.
Driving is something that is a skill, and truck drivers have to go to school to learn how to drive a simi truck. That makes it skilled trade. That not just anyone can do it takes someone with a high level of common sense to be safe and successful in the trade. I can keep going but I am not going to because I can go on for hours.
Are you even a driver? Are you out her 7 days a week all the time? Obviously, your ignorant. People like you is what had made this industry go down hill. You sit over there being a keyboard warrior, and when supplies start disappearing and you cant git food or the essentials don’t come bitching!!!
Put a truck in neutral & it go faster than Dodge Charger with a Hellcat down hill. No motor needed dumbass. It’s called gravity. Pull your head out of your ass.
another truck driving school flunky>
They should put speed limiters in all vehicles.. Don’t just point out truckers!! Also motor homes should have to have a special license to drive them.. Once you hit 60 years old you should loose your license!!
If Mega carriers want to limit speed of company trucks let them keep doing what they or doing but to inforce it o. Everyone else just cause you getting a kick back should be illegal.
I’m done if this passes I’m governed at 80 it works fine I won’t b out here 2 to 4 months sacrificing doing 68 I quit I’ll drive local all done..
Can’t blame you.
That’s good for me. Less dangerous drivers and more freight for me to move. it’s a win, win for me.
You will see the death tolls skyrocket. People already are impatient with trucks blocking the flow of traffic. Just wait till this happens. People merging on the interstates and we have to move out in the left lane. It’s going to be a traffic jam in the making. I’ve been doing this for 15 years. No tickets. No accidents. But yet we are always hearing how we’re slowing everyone down. Get a grip on the violators of txting while driving. That’s where the real problem lies. A statistic that has a death toll as high as drunk driving. You are forcing people to leave an industry that they used to love. It’s basically taking money out of their pockets. Most people are paid by the mile. It will be taking over $70.00 per day out of our pocket. You’ve already taken perdiem from us. Anything else you want? You’re making it impossible to make a living doing this job. We give our time away from our family already but now you want to take away from our income. Thank you book smart pencil pushers.
This proposal will triple the number of trucks on the road because still want their stuff on time. unfortunately, that also means many more unqualified dangerous drivers on the road. These new drivers get a 21 day course on basic skills to pass the test then the trainers actually teach them to drive. Imagine another One million trucks on the road all stuck at a certain speed. Good luck with those morning and evening commutes.
again, we are letting people who know nothing of the industry they want to regulate are wanting to make things worse .
if they were to spend time behind the wheel the difference would be apparent, these trucks are dinosaurs, dangerous, unforgiving beasts, a necessary evil, at 60 mph they are as deadly as they are at 75 or even 80. speed is not the problem, driver training, respect, and courtesy are real factors here.
the states are giving tests and permits to people who can’t read or even speak English, so they can’t read our signs don’t know where they are going, lost in a very cruel and unforgiving climate, there are so many issues that contribute to this speed is not the magic bullet cure for this. been at this 30 plus years.
This is really the worst move they can make. you want to lower fatigue and increase productivity and truck parking here is you solution. go back to the old rules. 10/8 70 in 8 days. Now if everyone listens you might learn something here. if you run old rules just like this you won’t ever be tired, out of hours, and not sitting in the traffic jams. run a 4/4. run 4 sleep 4. you’ll never be out of hours and never be tired as you are always resting. you stop outside major cities during rush hour sleep and 4 hours later it’s clear! image that. You think I’ll lose time? No cause you’re not driving in rush hour with a million other 4 wheelers who can’t put the phone down. and doing stop and go. You’ll breeze through no issues at posted speed limits. time a fuel saved, safer for everyone, and guess what you are rested. everyone knows the best speed is all vehicles moving at the same speed. not one faster then the other. If you can’t understand that then I don’t know what to tell you. and for those saying a 16 to 18 year old can do this job… you are very blind to what’s out here. Steep grades are not to be taken lightly. weather is not to be taken lightly. Training programs and schools aren’t teaching these items. They aren’t teaching what to do if you lose your engine brake. Let’s talk about these major carriers throwing rookies out in a truck and sending them over the rockies. Let’s talk about people who have a CDL who can’t speak or read English. Our signs are in English. How can you have a CDL and not speak English? Let’s talk about major carriers using a trainer and rookie to run team. How is the trainer teaching from the sleeper? FMCSA is getting kick backs from ATA which is the major carriers. Not one of those tools have ever done this job. You still think speed limiters will save you? No better training more rest and not racing a clock will. This was an industry full of professionals. Now they give anyone a CDL and call them a driver. And Jordan Watkins please just be quiet you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.
It all started somewhere. The government would not be in our business is the drivers would actually follow the traffic laws and laws of physics. The good old days of driving however many miles you can before you burn out, as fast as you can, are gone and for good reason. The numbers show the truth. Those of you driver who think speeding is the answer, going around curves faster than the curve speed limit, descending down grades with speed limits, you are the ones who brought this on us. It isn’t the new guys, Jeez we were all new when we started. If you actually look at the very destructive accidents, the ones that cost lives, you will actually see it is not just the new guy, it is the complacent seasoned veteran. The one who thinks they have done this downgrade a thousand times and they fail to relies maybe their brakes will fail, or an animal runs out in front of them, or they come around a curve and the traffic is stopped completely, yet they did not they would have to stop. The thousand and one time gets them and Colorado all over again: 4 dead, many vehicle destroyed, and fire. Freaking tailgating so close you can’t even see the rear window, what are ya’ll thinking when you do this, it sure isn’t safety, because if they have to panic stop you just got yourself a hood ornament you did not want or need. Everything has led to this happening, and they are looking to limit all vehicle, but starting with the most destructive vehicles is the appropriate answer. if you think driving over the speed limit, tailgating, going around curves to fast, and descending downgrades to fast, is fine then you need to just turn in your CDL and go back to just driving a 4 wheeler and getting a 9-5 job, because if we can’t control ourselves like the Professional drivers we are, someone will. Just look at the past: weigh stations, HOS, and now speed limiters. There is a reason for all of them and it isn’t because we were doing the right thi g
…….close sesame……
Jordan W.,
Put your silly little paper mask on and go take a nap.
You obviously don’t understand that there are major unintended consequences to come with such a ridiculous law, that have not been thoroughly thought out, yet.
Jordan has legitimate complaints, but went about it the wrong way. I agree with the points he was trying to make. It seems to me the only ones who complain on these comments are the one who drive over the speed limit. it only takes a few bad apples to to ruin the bunch. I have a radar on my truck and it tells me how fast those who pass me are going. 75 percent are driving over the speed limit. About those going down him faster than the posted speed are pure “idiots.” It does not matter how many time you have driven that area, unless you are the only one driving there, ever, there will be a potential for something happening which could lead to a catastrophic accident, like Colorado. or maybe those who do not drive for conditions, tailgate, or driver over the speed limit leads to deaths like the Fort Worth incident. I have racked my brain until I get a headache trying to see if there is an actual acceptable reason to drive over the speed limit and I just can’t find one. Look, we are professional driver held to a higher standard, so we get scrutinized more, and that is how it should be. Those who say, “put speed limiters in the 4 wheelers,” have not seen they are actually looking at that, besides the majority do not actually need the vehicle to work. However, driving is our livelihood thus more training to get the CDL, thus leading to additional government laws trying to create a safer road experience.
It’s stupid but in order to change this, we have to let everything happen and then we block the highway system at 60 mph. You let law makers follow us at 60 mph all day and these idiots miss major appointments or ball games, then we’ll get something done.
I agree regulating speed will not stop down hill speeding. It will increase the number of drivers doing it. As well as increasing the number of idiots speeding through cities, and construction zones.

Let me bring a real possibility to the table with speed limiters. I’m a 38 year veteran of the road, and speed limiters are a real danger to all travelers. If you’ve ever watched NASCAR at a restrictor plate race, 30 plus cars all together, then one crashes and you have a pile up. Now, imagine that same wreck on the interstate!
You may think it won’t happen, but it will. You may not care now, but, God forbid, one of your family members are hurt or killed, then you will.
Now that is a very silly analogy to use. In those races the vehicles are drafting each other so close they are inches from each other, that is why there are pile ups, and usually the same reason we have pile ups on the road. Freaking idiot on the roads tailgating, when they should be giving theirselves room to evade situations. Maybe the analogy is somewhat true but that comes down to those idiot who freaking think tailgating is appropriate, especially the truck driver with maxed out weight, or hazmat drivers. We drivers do this chit to ourselves as I have stated before. No one to blame but ourselves. Now, I know many of us drive like we are supposed to, but those who think they are above the law are the ones the public sees because they are usually the ones involved in the massive accidents and deaths. The finger yall are pointing at the government, ATA, FMCSA, needs to be turned around and directed at yourselves and those we see on the roads speeding, tailgating, and just not following traffic laws. Anyone who has ever worked any job knows the few idiots can cause problems for the majority and this is a perfect example of it. There are way to many drivers driving above the law and way to few law enforcement personnel to be effective in deterring those idiots. It doesn’t help when we drivers try and warn the other drivers of the, “bear at mile marker such and such.” Let the law enforcement do the job they are meant to do and maybe there wouldn’t be near as serious a problem. So, what is left for the FMCSA to do, effect the majority to make the idiots slow down. The next thing I can see happening, because technology is getting better, faster, is something like a variable speed limiters. Where the truck will go into a speed zone and limit the speed of the truck to only the speed of the zone it is in. If we as drivers cannot control our driving, then someone has to do something, and this speed limiters is just the last thing in a list of laws we have cause all of our own by simply not obeying the laws, plain and simple.
In United Kingdom and whole Europe speedlimiters are mandatory for over 20 years. It is mandated on All fast moving heavy vehicles above 7716 lbs , speed limit is 56mph.
you people should chill out ….its not end of the world theres no daily accidents because of speedlimited trucks on highways its bull$hit.
If this goes into effect ,drivers will not have to block the left lane in rebellion, it will happen naturally, all the trucks going almost the same speed will make it to where it takes forever for one to pass another slow truck, so traffic will back up, and this will frustrat the cars that will then in turn drive erratic, then fmcsa will decide that no trucks are allowed in any other lane than the right, that is what they really want just like Germany does. Then how are you slow safety nuts gonna like it when your already slow ass is impeded
I think that the fmca and government need to go back to the basics ,we have a bunch of desk sitting people trying to make rules for are industry that must of them have never driven a semi in there life ,4th generation in this business I was showed how to do this the right way by my father ,now they let these mega carries train people for 3 weeks then there out on the roads when they have no business out there ,further more must American people have no idea what we do for them they look at us as people who get in their way every day. but we have food clothes medical supplies wood metal gas family’s homes on board are trucks ,instead of fighting among are selfs we should take the fight to the fmca dot government, there taking are right to be truck drivers away ,and be Americans, the right to work and be free ,you look we’re loosing are way of live ! maybe before you sit be hind desk and think you know more then us ,you should drive a couple thousand miles in are shoes be away from your family’s and home trying to make alive explaining to your wife kids family why you won’t be home for awhile, also why when they need us they throw all the rules out the window ,like when covid hit we need you to run keep this country afloat but when your done with us it’s back to you people shoving it up are ass ,makes me sick like I said let’s take the fight to you guys take the power back and keep trucking
Well, said.. couldn’t agree more…they have no idea what Truckers do or give up to bring supplies and food to the stores for them and for the people in government.. shouldn’t train some one for 3 weeks and tell them they are a truck driver…it takes real experience and knowledge to be that.. government has screwed over old school drivers..that is who needs to teach the new drivers..regulating trucks is not the problem…the damn 4 wheeled vehicles think trucks can stop on a dime!..their the problem…been there and saw it!
We did the math, if you cut a trucks top speed from 68 to 60 over the year you’d potentially cut their pay by as much as 20+ thousand per year. You’d be increasing chances of accidents, slowing traffic, encouraging speeding in slower zones, costing us pay and generally pissing us off which causes road rage. you wanna fuck up the trucking industry? This shit is how you do it.
You want the bad truckers out there to stop speeding, let law enforcement do their jobs. They’re literally paid to control traffic, let them do it and stop trying to find ways to justify your existence as a regulatory agency.
