Are Govenors installed by the factory or the trucking Company ?
Is this due to insuance costs ?
Also, aren't there onboard tracking systems that document the times a big rig exceeds the speed limit ?

Not exactly. Manufacturer says what is what. Owners imprint on that. Schneider (big big big HUGE trucking) has a policy .... https://schneiderjobs.com/blog/driver/update-driver-speed-stance I'd like to see evidence of a big CDL rig running 100 MPH lately
