[QUOTE="tarbar66, post: 657065, member: 1868"] I used to see if they were checking the tach charts closely other than the monthly audit by substituting a tach chart that I would find in the tach head from another driver. I also worked for another company that used tach charts so sometimes I would trade them. Usually they looked for speeding so some guys had a plug that they would stick in the speed needle groove at about 57 mph. Back then we were told the tach chart was for our protection if involved in an accident or to fight a speeding ticket. I did beat a speeding ticket that my on road sup took to a JP hearing and explained how they worked. I told the cop that I was paid by the hour so why would I speed. The JP ruled in my favor. You mentioned the lack of power in friend models on the Pa pike and low speeds. I was pulled over on the Pa pike for excessive smoke from my Diamond T especially if traffic backed up in the tunnels. I got a written warning and was told not to drive that tractor on the pike untill it was fixed. [/QUOTE]
