Please take note: After June 15th any throttle violation will be handled with an investigation and through the PEPA policy.
Do not keep throttle throughout ascending grade. Exceeding throttle limit while traveling at 15mph or more is a violation of ABTH 106.7 period.
Example:
14mph = Grab a notch
15mph = Follow Throttle Limit
Will need to ensure we always update after work enroute to adjust for changes in Profile.
Example:
Pickup and Setouts @ Yardley.
Let RFE know, before tie-up, if DS gives verbal instructions to exceed.
VTR any and all changes to Profile.
