Ending Mandatory Speed Limiters for Interstate Commercial Trucks.

This bill prohibits federal agencies from requiring large interstate commercial vehicles (over 26,000 pounds) to be equipped with mandatory speed limiting devices. This change allows trucking companies and drivers greater flexibility in managing speed, potentially affecting the flow of goods and delivery times across state lines. The removal of this mandate could reduce operational costs for carriers.
Key points
Federal agencies are banned from mandating speed limiting devices on heavy interstate commercial trucks.
Trucking companies and drivers retain control over vehicle speed, subject to existing traffic laws, without federal device restrictions.
