    That's how I would approach it too, but I was told to "trust" the truck completely in those situations. It will adjust automatically. I don't know about that tho. There's just something scary about taking the driving out of the driver's hands.

    I got it from another driver. Can't remember his name as it was a while back. Comes in handy when I can't figure the route the planners used.

    I haven't been down the smaller roads in OR. So, I'm not sure if there are any length restrictions on those routes.

    US191 isn't all that bad. It is two lane and one of the most beautiful and scenic routes. It takes through the Archway National Park.
