    I had a guy tell me his freind used to put a pillow in his steering wheel to
    hold his truck on course with cruise on, while he would lok around in sleeper.
    Well until a state trooper seen a truck with no driver in it.

    My first wife could drive good, but couldn't get from stop to 10th gear very well. I would get the truck up to speed, and we would switch out.

    I'm guilty of that one to but it was in a traffic jam. Right after that we got pulled into the scale and the inspector asked, "so where exactly did you switch in Burbank"?
