    My truck has an incredibly useful feature that allows me to always maintain the speed that I desire. It is called a speedometer. KW even had the foresight to place this device on the dashboard, and in my line of sight from the drivers seat. Modern technology is amazing, what will they come up with next?

    The other part to that is on hometime I don't touch the drivers seat of any cars. I get escorted around everywhere.

    Before I started going OTR my engine went out on my Chevy Prizm so I sold it. I was planning on buying a car after my first couple of paychecks but my analysis of the cost/benefit of making that purchase didn't add up considering I am only home about 4-5 days out of the month.

    So when you had a car how did you maintain speed? Do the same in the truck.

    The cruise should shut off when you hit the brake, I have never driven any vehicle where it does not. You have to hit a button to get it to accelerate again
