It's a helpful tool nothing more......only a idiot completely relies on it ..but acting like it doesn't make for less stress in the day is ignorant......and you can override it anytime simply by pressing the throttle..it's not rocket science....![]()

I use it to keep distance on drivers who struggle to maintain a consistent speed. It's annoying to have to constantly adjust the cruise to keep distance. Also nice to know how fast the vehicle in front of me is going so I know if I need to get over sooner or later. Don't want to move to the left to pass a mile back if I'm only going a couple MPH faster. It's not hard to override it and get a little closer before passing by just turning it off or holding the pedal down.hope not dumb twucker, OldeSkool and Trucker61016 Thank this.

Yeah I know I shouldnt reply till I read them all.
Only saw them in dump trucks, cement mixers, and yard trucks personally. Good to know the bigger trucks have them as well.

D.C. Appeals Court STRIKES DOWN Trump DOT’s Safety Rules — Allows Immigrants to Obtain Commercial Licenses Again Despite Fatal Florida Truck Crash | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim HᴏftElmerFudpucker and Trucker61016 Thank this. -
That is the problem with americas roadways are the DACA holders of CDL's that the judges want to keep on the road maybe for political reasons, maybe they think their is a shortage of drivers. The court sided not with public safety, not with the families of crash victims, but with activist groups, blue-city governments, and unions who argued that asylum seekers, refugees, and DACA recipients should continue holding commercial driver’s licenses. That is a shame.JB7, hope not dumb twucker, ElmerFudpucker and 3 others Thank this.

Automatic

Manual .... especially the Super 10
Trucker61016 Thanks this. -
Super 10 was developed by Satan himself. I always said screw it and shifted it like a 5 speed
-
That’s how a super 10 shifts. Like a 5 speed. You just flip a button in each shift

Data supports the undisputed FACT that white American drivers are responsible for the VAST majority of fatal accidents involving trucks in the USA.
Should we ban white Americans from having a CDL?
