PlacardingTDG 4.15(2) is up for discussion again. Transport Canada is stating that a change to the regs is being considered and it should harmonize with 49 CFR. Transport Canada is also suggesting that the "inspector community" should take the least restrictive of options available in TDG, i.e. return to using the DANGER placard. Speed LimitersSo, some Ontario truckers are upset that the provincial government has imposed speed limiters for trucks, to be set at 105 kph. One spokesman for truckers says that a trucker needs that extra speed for when the trailer starts to come around. Being maxed at 105 will not allow a trucker to apply the extra speed to straighten out the trailer. If your trailer is starting to pass you, doesn’t that tell you something? For instance, you are not driving to the conditions of the road. Proposed Amendments – Discussion PapersTransport Canada has issued a discussion/consultation paper that contains 36 amendments. Some of these suggested amendments make sense, but the others are begging the question: just what is Transport Canada thinking? |
