    Do most companys tucks have these safety features that are discussed in
    this video. More specifically does Roehl or PAMs trucks have these? What
    model trucks do these two companys have? Leaning towards joining Roehl.
    Heres the link.

    The trucks I drove in school were nothing like this one.. those were '02 hand-me-downs though... I especially love the radar that'll detect approach speed and slow you down for the idiots that slam on their brakes to take an exit.. Don't expect to get one of these babies right out of school though, you and I will end up with the hand-me-downs for sure.. Just be happy with a new mattress :biggrin_25519:

    I guess it's safe to say that eventually most trucks will incorporate these
    features.

    considering the company it belongs to, I hope it has all the safety features possible.

    I would definetly not want all of those feature controls on the steering wheel. My digital display menu is located on a seperate stalk on the steering column. That said, most of these new safety features, will become standard on trucks in the future, thankfully for now it's still optional. I had the chance to drive the KW safer truck a couple of years back for a test drive, I can honestly say it made me feel unsafe as it took too much control away from me.
