    your engine brake does not use the brakes.

    and I would slow down, your truck computer is telling on you

    If you are such a good driver, how would you "smoke" your brakes?

    most of us drivers know NOT to over speed going down hills....

    apparently, that o/p being so new, he's a "great driver"....

    but his infractions with the company, and his disdain with the cameras, tell a different story.

    he'll be back in the future, asking if anyone will hire him....

    Dude. You’re complaining then go on to tell us you’re aware of this and know the hows and the why’s. The solution seems pretty simple. Use your brakes a bit earlier or move on to another carrier.

    What is it 1 penny? 2 pennies a mile? If going a bit too fast in a few hills every month is keeping you from this extra money then I guess it comes down to your priorities.

    So break it down to me buddy. I'm willing to learn. You're a trucker not a doctor remember that so be humble.
