    I jump into the passenger seat to text. That way I'm not technically "driving".

    This is the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile.

    Just flip on the cruise control aka "auto pilot". :rolleyes:

    Just what we need. More food for the bottom feeding slip-and-fall lawyers. :mad:

    Exactly. And for what so he can tell how cool he is at the TA?
    No wonder so many companies are putting cameras on drivers.

    There was a time when people would do the right thing. Now, not even close. They have lost their brains.

    At least once a week. Should I be logging sleeper birth for that?

    I never had a problem in the Volvo 670. But once I got a Volvo 780 the struggle with a big ol sleeper became real lol. Can't say I haven't done it tho.

    Right, find a nice long straight stretch of road, then lash the steering wheel like the do on ships, (if they still do that. . .) set your cruise control, and step back for a quick nap.:rolleyes:

    When I worked for Pepsi, I borrowed an old International for my route for a week while my truck was in the shop. It had the throttle adjustment knob for fast idle. I used that for cruise control, lol.
