Opposition is growing against a bill that would prevent the FMCSA from issuing a regulation mandating maximum speeds for trucks.
Bipartisan legislation would limit truck speeds to no more than 70 mph.
Driving experience — not age — had a greater impact on safety, according to study.
Truckload carriers expect “dramatic increase” in fuel efficiency with speed mandate.
Maximum limit would be required for new and existing trucks weighing over 26,000 lbs.
Speed limiter regulations sat idling under Bush and Obama, so truck safety groups now look to Congress – and Trump – to put it in gear.
