Do commercial tractor / trailers have govenors?

[Shockwave]

Like it says. Do some commercial companies install govenors to limit trucks speed to ridiculous limits, like 65 or 70 miles per hour? I know the USPS limtis them to 65, but thats a guvment company. Just wondered if commercial / private companies did the same.

I sure don't think so as truckers really know how to truck when there are no smokies around. There are also areas out west that do not have posted speed limits.

Some do. It depends on the company.

I kinda figured. Seems like some companies you just NEVER see speeding. Like Werner Trucking, hell i dont think I've ever seen one of there rigs doing over 65.....

Werner is governed at 65 I believe. Swift is 62, at least when I worked there it was.
