Federal regulators working on a proposal that would create a nationwide truck speed limit using electronic engine devices last week extended the comment period on the controversial move by six weeks, to July 18. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has already received more than 15,500 comments. It has been so inundated that it extended the deadline after receiving requests for the extension from the American Trucking Associations and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA). The two groups are on opposite sides of the polarizing speed limiter debate.
