    Tell me that your overzealous safety manager has never driven a semi truck in his whole life, without actually telling me that your overzealous safety manager has never driven a semi truck in his whole life. Lol

    That's awesome that TNI reached out to you and now you basically got as close to your dream job as you're going to get. Really glad that things have worked out for you. I'm looking forward to your new thread if you decide to make one.

    Good for you working out things with your finances to make it work. Funny thing is money isn't everything and being at peace with everything and being somewhere you enjoy and can breathe will actually open up more quality of life and enjoyment. ;)

    For a nominal sum, said attorney wrote letter that would set a minor demon's shorts on fire. I believe Bolt is in the clear.

    Forget an attorney, if it were me, I'd just call the Maury Show. You'll get results in 48 hrs.

    A safety manager should be able to install the system in his pov once he proves he can achieve 90 plus compliance rate then he can determine if system is applicable to the company lol

    Gotta luv the adaptive cruise and speed gage… NOT!!!

    Unfortunately, all carriers are going to this type truck set up.

    And I completely LOATHE the auto emergency braking… it is so dangerous! Even tanker carriers sloshing liquid have them equipped with

    ive driven a truck with the auto braking feature for over 6 years at this point. i can recall 1 incident of it making a mistake and 0 incidents otherwise.

    it has activated 1 time. and yes it messed up. car was taking a right hand exit on a sweeping left turn (i90 toll road just E of chicago). truck thought i was going to hit them and hit the brakes hard. if i remember correctly it can only autonomously apply 85% of the braking ability.

    so basically, drive with some common sense and you'll never have a problem.

    the active cruise control is annoying but useful in 1 lane, highway speed scenarios.
