28. RESPONSE FROM THE DOT DOCTOR REGARDING QUEBEC REQUIRING SPEED LIMITERS ON ALL TRUCKS SET AT 105/KMP
Speed limiters are an unsafe idea unless you are going to place speed limiters equally set on ALL vehicles. It is just like
split speed limits which are equally unsafe. Singling out trucks is unsafe and should be illegal. Traffic needs to flow
together not in status clumps with rolling roadblocks due to slower vehicles. States and Providences that require “special”
regulations to operate in their jurisdictions are hurting the economy. CA has excessive rulings in place at the ports as of
Oct 1 and now Quebec wants to join that same status making them undesirable to do business within their
jurisdiction. San Francisco’s “special law” regarding forced health insurance coverage if you do business in the city is
forcing businesses out instead of protecting employees which was the intent of the law. The speed limiters and clean air
restrictions will produce similar results.
These insurance, clean air and speed restrictors are not the answer. The special interest groups behind these regulatory
decisions are only trying to force the little guy out of business; just as your article states. It is tipping the field in favor of
big business who can afford these restrictive items. To me, this is along the same lines as the US Government who wants
to implement the EBORs which only big business can afford. Both the US and Canada are both moving in the direction of
putting the small business man out of business. What they do not realize is that the big business man cannot do some of
the specialty jobs that the independent can. Moreover, they are not willing to do the job and if they do the cost will be
exceedingly high. If the small business man, who is currently doing the work, charged the rates that the big business will
ultimately charge, they too could remain afloat with the ever increasing regulations.
The government needs to stay out of business. Oversight is one thing but this is now moving to a new ground of
interference. The US has gone over the deep end with the preface of “Homeland Security” before anything they desire
that would not otherwise be legal. Now state and providential jurisdictions are jumping on a similar bandwagon to strong-
arm their will into the business arena. Their mask is the preface of “safety”. It is good to see the ATA and US Justice Dept
standing up to CA legislators against the Port Authority. The Owner Operator Associations in the US and Canada need to
take a stand against Quebec.
It is sad that we cannot afford to just boycott these areas of excessive regulations without causing ourselves excessive
financial harm. Hitting ones bottom-line is always the best way to make a point. They are hitting ours. It is time to hit
back. We all need to be safe, obey the law and work together out there. The trucker has enough limitations and
unrealistic time frames on him/her already. Adding more regulations only hurts the economy, the consumer and trade.

To Whom It May Concern:
Andrea Sitler was brought in as a consultant to handle our logistics needs.
She showed us how to choose the most cost effective method of packaging
and delivery while still meeting the needs of our customers. Added value
services such as uncrating and installation was written into the contracts of
our transportation providers. Crating services for returns, repairs, etc...
were also negotiated.
Andrea designed a trucking matrix that we could easily update. This matrix
provided us with the average cost for a shipment. It was set up by lane,
speed of service required, season and various other factors that contributed
to our daily work flow. There was an addendum for value services.
We were educated on the difference between dimensional and weight based
services. Several contracts with carriers were negotiated and Andrea was
available for future assistance, should it be desired, for negotiation with other
carriers or to supply us with contacts to additional carriers. We called upon
her several times.
We are very pleased with her services. She helped our young business off to
a solid start. I am pleased to recommend her services to anyone in need of
logistics advice.
With Fond Regards,
Charlene Belloso
