Wednesday afternoon, a Peterborough, ON-basedcarrier beat a speed-limiter ticket in court here. Fridayafternoon, while swapping emails with todaystrucking.com about hislegal victory, one of his trucks got nabbed again. "Can U see a fight here? LOL" Ken Westlake, the CEO ofExclusive Transfer Enterprise Corporation emailed. "Same charge.
Speed limiter not working." Wednesday"s court decision was related to a September, 2011incident. One of Westlake"s 30 rigs was pulled over,inspected and the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) inspector usedan Ez-Tap diagnostic tool and found the speed limiter to be set at114 km/h (71 mph). Since 2009, Ontario has stated that all heavy-duty trucks operatingin the province must have their speed limiters set at 105 km/h (65mph). The fine was set at $390.
Westlake proved to Justice Susan Hoffman that he set histruck"s speed limiter at 105 km/h back in 2007, before thelaw required him to do so; and that his electronic speed-controlmodule is password protected. According to the MTO Spokesman Bob Nichols: "The judge didnot doubt any evidence that was given by the Ministry officer.However, the judge found that the owner had proved due diligence inthis case -- that he had done everything within his power toensure that the engine was set. "The judge"s ruling only speaks to this particularcase. It does not have any effect on the program." Further, Westlake said, there"s no legal requirement forcinga truck owner to re-check the speed limiter, at any time after itis installed.
Justice Hoffman dismissed the charge; and Westlake, victoriouslyreturned to Peterborough. His plan: Issue letters to all his drivers stating that their speedlimiters have been set by the company technicians; they"repassword protected; and that there"s no need for an MTOinspector to question the calibration. If they do proceed with an inspection, Westlake insists, the"Ministry will have to assume all responsibility for anydamage that may occur." And then, just as he"s trying to figure out the exact wordingfor the letters, he got the message about the new charge. Says Westlake: "I will fight this one also.
