    If you’re coming up on another vehicle on the interstate you should be changing lanes before the adaptive cruise even thinks about slowing you down.

    That would imply he has the ability to judge if the truck in front is going slower without relying on the computer . seems some drivers have a very difficult time thinking for themselves without the help of a computer. Im going to guess if he cant even watch his speedometer then ur concept is out the window as well

    I've seen 90 something rolling through the river hills on 44 in SD, little extra momentum never hurts through there.

    The Op should find another company.
    One that is NOT safety oriented.

    Well firstly, if your micro-sleeping you need to get out of that position ASAP. Reading your messages, it seems that you are not cut out for night driving. Secondly, keeping under a speed limit is not rocket science. If you can't manage your speed at night, it seems like another sign pointing towards driving sleepy and if you can't manage night shift please make the appropriate changes.
