The Equipment per FRA rules can also have a 5 mph error due to speedometer calibration, wheel trueing etc. So a max allowable error if combined is 10 mph. If I have Roadforeman riding with me , his face will begin to scowl at 2 mph over speed and by 4 mph over he starts to put info into his PDA, anymore than 5 mph and I would probably put on a unpaid mini vacation of about 15 to 30 days. If there is no Roadforeman my transgressions would be exposed once the black box is downloaded(once a week) The Bus driver or Truck driver have no penalty system, infact they get attaboys from their boss for speeding as long as it does not effect the company insurance by means of tickets. |
