[QUOTE="rushfan, post: 1195525, member: 1631"] I was asked on my annual ride why I do not use my cruise control. I responded I drive at night, and I feel it is dangerous (the tractors we have are old Mack CH600's with fogged over headlights and the mechanics and mechanic manager refuses to order new ones-Something to do with the cost). Also, IMHO, cruise control at night tends to make many sleepy. During the recap of my ride, I was told I could be looked upon as stealing time for not using cruise control. Would you know it, within a week of my ride, a driver in our division went to sleep, driving off the road. Cruise control was to blame. So within a week of that event, on our safety board, there were suggestions regarding safe driving at night. One was, "do not use cruise control if drowsy". As far as the, "you've got hot loads" comment goes: I have always thought, "I'll get there when I get there". Our sort has been ending an hour late each night. We too go onto "late sort delay". During my ride along, my sup said I could pre-trip all the dollies I was going to use, and the trailers-while the sort was going on to save time. Mind you, the set isn't even put together LOL!
