[QUOTE="DsquareD, post: 5088163, member: 29365"]Many Schneider drivers are not even aware of this annoying feature on their truck. Many Schneider trucks have "anticipatory" cruise control. It uses GPS and satellite control to modulate the speed slightly to terrain. Before a Schneider truck reaches the top of even a modest hill, it slows the truck a few MPH in anticipation of the increased speed on the down side of the hill. It also speeds the truck up to 62-63 MPH before the base of a hill to get a little momentum going. This constantly fluctuating speed can really annoy other drivers. It's not necessarily Schneider drivers deliberately being jerks. A driver who is paying attention, though, can over ride some of this with the throttle. I was told this information by a Schneider mechanic.[/QUOTE]
