    Easy,

    It's called "cruise control".

    Not very difficult at all.

    And, ya know.....sometimes 55 is the max. (Hear that.......MAX). In a lot of cities.

    Must not get around much, eh?

    Bet you dollar to donut on supposed high frequency of 55 mph minimum. Let's point em out, eh? Shouldn'the take but a minute or two.

    Get used to the slow trucks rookie. If you can't handle it go home to mommy's house and get a job flippin' burgers and dunkin' fries.

    Im on the Jim Palmer side. Haul the same freight as all of the Prime, Wil-Trans and Henderson drivers. I put the cruise at 62 and the Classic Rock XM on 11 and truck on down the road.

    I have a full size truck and a passenger seat. I get the same fuel incentives that they do.

    And I dont have to drive in Maine or Vermont.

    What's wrong with Maine and Vermont? Note: I don't drive anywhere I don't care to and that includes the other 46 lower states.
