    Should be dispatched this morning. Will let you guys know where. When I find out. We're governed at 64. After 6 years 66. O/o are not governed. I also don't have cruise control for the first month.

    Cruise control is for the birds... ive used it maybe twice all of last year.... If theyd just get rid of cruise control in all trucks , u would see alot better driving on the road

    We have revisited this every 4 years for awhile now. And I expect that to continue. Like or dislike is not the point. Adherence to both formal laws and the unwritten rules of civility are what matters.

    Not certain I agree. When I'm using cruise on this truck it will automatically slow when it sees I'm closing in on a truck. On cruise I could NEVER get as close tailgating as I see at least half of trucks out here. Personally I was taught 7 seconds of following time which is more distance than this truck is programmed for but I still see it's anti tailgating feature as a plus.
    Plus I get better fuel mileage.

    Why is it so hard to not tailgate... ? i probaby keep more following distance than most people on the road , yet never use cruise.... It really isnt that hard to judge when ur closing in on a truck. But i dont do much passing since im cruising 55-60 most of the time..... Also i can get better fuel mileage onthe pedal than cruise , just running off the boost gauge ... cruise is very inefficient when u get into hills.... Say i70 in mo for example...
