    I dont miss it honestly. I can always pull the hand throttle in a pinch, but that only happens if I need to shift in the seat to get something out of my pocket or something.

    Yeah I’m gonna ask for time off Monday after I pick up that load, right now I’d rather say something else to my dispatcher; I need to get home so I can actually cook me some meals with my Coleman stove I’ve got

    Im not sure what to do with the trailer though, gotta drop it somewhere, no room to pull it onto my road

    No problem unfortunately sometimes dispatchers only think of themselves

    So as far as your CMS goes, after awhile you can kinda tell when it's gonna slam the brakes on you when the cruise is on. Whenever such an occasion comes up, you can just roll on the throttle a little bit and it'll bypass the adaptive part of the cruise and it won't do it. Happens all the time to me when someone in front of me slows down to take an exit but there's still plenty of room for me to not have to slow down.

    As far as the icon on the dash going yellow when parked, mine does that as well when I idle up, but only if I've just started the truck.
