ATRI Preliminary Speed Limiter Findings Confirm That 70% of US Carriers Already Use Speed Limiters

(April 4, 2007) -- The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) released some of its preliminary findings on speed limiter usage in the US at the Canadian Trucking Alliance’s annual general meeting last week.

Among the studies major findings so far were the fact that in the US some 69% of carriers use speed limiters, set at speeds ranging from 60-80 mph (the average speed was 69 mph).

ATRI’s study was undertaken at the request of the American Trucking Associations as part of the US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s review of the speed limiter issue.
