Truck Driver Slang - Language of the Trade

Current Trucker News Drivers from Outside the Provinces of Ontario and Canada must have the regulator set at a dealership or garage, at a cost of between $75 and $150 per occasion. They would have to make this adjustment both before entering and after leaving the Province. Most states in the U.S. have speed limits of 70-75 mph. If caught without regulators, drivers will be fined $250 in Ontario and $350 in Quebec. The rules in Ontario and Quebec, which took effect on an educational basis on Jan. 1 (hard enforcement, including fines, begins July 1), requires all heavy trucks manufactured since 1996 to have engine speed limiters set at a maximum of 105 km/h. If caught with unregulated engines, drivers will be fined $250 in Ontario and $350 in Quebec.
