    Are you one of those super (stupid) truckers that don't know how to use cruise control? You obviously don't have the ability to respond to a legitimate question / problem without showing your ignorance, by expressing critisism... as if you have all the answers and your /;$@ don't stink. Keep your stupid observations to yourself if you don't have anything constructive to contribute, moron.

    LOL!!! I'm roliing ss. Have been for a while. CC is a joke. Driving the truck means just that! Odds are your super single equipped truck is limited( at best 65ish ). One foot on the floor IS cruising. 100 % vigilance. Feel it. I'd be offended if YOU were an experienced baller. I quit using cruise when I parked my CAR. Too often I get complacent when I pay attention. Cruise is for airline drivers.

    Truth is, the truck is governed at 65 using the throttle, and 68 on cruise... so it keeps me moving and passing 99% of the other company drivers, instead of clogging up the arteries in the passing lane. If it were the other way around, I'd be inclined to use the throttle instead of CC.

    You still haven't offered up anything constructive or helpful... anyone can be sarcastic...
