In case you didn’t know, Ontario and Quebec put new laws in place in 2009 that require trucks entering their borders to have their speed limiter set to 105 kph (around 65 mph). There are no exceptions, and the fines can be pretty steep.
Up until now you’ve had two choices: change the speed limiter before you set off (meaning you have to drive slowly all the way to Canada as well as within Canada) or pay someone else to change it for you.
No more! Bully Dog’s Heavy Duty Gauge Tuner (HDGT) is approved by the Canadian government, and with it you can easily change the speed limiter, helping you comply with Canadian laws and saving you time and money!
If you worry about driving into Canada, then worry no more! The HDGT can help you expand your range and your business by giving you the flexibility to drive how you want on either side of the border. The speed limiter is also a game changer for the fleet owner; if you’re worried about fuel economy, the speed limiter gives you the ability to regulate your fleet’s speeds, which can decrease your fuel consumption considerably. You’ll be able to download time-stamped logs upon the unit’s return, which allows you to monitor your employees’ driving habits.
And the HDGT does more than just adjust your speed limiter. You can monitor your rig using its integrated gauges and automatic safety warnings, keeping you informed and preventing expensive damage to your truck. These warnings are also audible so you don’t have to glue your eyes to the screen. Simply set up your warning levels and the HDGT will warn you with an on-screen alert and an audible beep, keeping your truck safe and your eyes on the road!
There are many different reasons why you may want to adjust your rig’s speed limiter, even if it’s just making sure you stay under the speed limit on your regular route, and the HDGT is just the tool for the job. The HDGT comes with so many useful features in addition to the speed limiter, installs easily and quickly and can pay for itself effortlessly in fuel savings alone, so it’s an easy decision to make: get an HDGT and save yourself time and money today!
