Not that it matters but it looks like an m/t.Maybe tractor only... but you have 50,000 plus pounds pushing behind you... nothing can save u from that.

I believe that it only does that in cruise control.That’s a great point. I wonder what would have happened. I was driving one of the older single screw KW’s from Hartford to Stratford and there’s a spot on 91 where it’s downhill and then immediately back uphill. No straightaway. Down the hill, and right back up at the bottom. I guess the uphill part is so sudden that the collision system thought I was about to hit something, the tractor violently slowed down to the point of my whole body jerking forward. Maybe it was the speed I was going but I made that run more than once, and that’s the only time it ever happened.
The tractors have cruise control? I'm amazedI believe that it only does that in cruise control.
Are you sure? I’m pretty sure it was raining that night and I never use cruise control in rain. And I was also bobtailing. Never use cruise control when bobtailing.I believe that it only does that in cruise control.
They have Bluetooth . Oh man why did I even mention anything technology related to @rod ... ..The tractors have cruise control? I'm amazed

The KW I have driven only does the self stop thing in cruise. The alarm goes of regardless cruise or not.Are you sure? I’m pretty sure it was raining that night and I never use cruise control in rain. And I was also bobtailing. Never use cruise control when bobtailing.
Yup. Funny when I mention that to my package car buddies they all give me this weird look. You have a/c and cruise control????The tractors have cruise control? I'm amazed
I hate that engine brake thing.It’s amazing how many guys I know will use cruise control or the engine brake in really bad weather.... stupid stupid
I like making all that noiseI hate that engine brake thing.
.....break it....Not if your assigned tractor is a 268 International.
Ouch.Not if your assigned tractor is a 268 International.
Good luck, those things are bullet proof. I had a 269 for the last few years on a local run and I liked it, ride is a little rough but they turn on a dime, drive straight down the road and are a lot easier to sleep in (very important)......break it....
Any ups tractors engine brake sounds nothing like some of those gypos in the peterbilts which you can hear from 25 miles away....I like making all that noise
Burrrrrrreeahahhahahahahhahahahahaha
