Do truck drivers tend to use Sat Nav and the Traffic Avoidance System? If so, and you are on a motorway which the system says is becoming congested would you look for alternative route or stick with Motorway?

Why do so many lorry drivers drive so close to each other on motorways, it makes me cringe every time I see it.

It's not a myth, and I would imagine over a long distance and as a common practice the fuel savings would be significant.
It is however very dangerous even more stupid; and probably illegal.

I'm not sure fil, as I've always understood the main principal of the limiter was to cut the fuel supply. But I still have it mind that once you get into the pocket of free air, there's little or no resistance.
It would need a "mathematician" to answer it fully I think

Feckin "fly-by-wire" teknologies
I've had a truck totally shut down, half way out of a T junction. Complete loss of all electrical power, plus engine shut down - for the sake of a 12pence 10 amp fuse.
Said fuse was in the main loom, that ran around the top of the block.
Cue sitting there like a twat waiting for a recymech to come with his magic box of tricks to tilt the cab to find the little fecker ! ! ! ! !

What do you trucking peeps thing of the European Working Hours Directive now that we've been living with it for a while?
When I was doing European driving (before it was implemented) it was quite normal for me to be working 72 hours a week and sometimes 74, spread over six shifts (there was no overtime paid either, so I ask myself now why I lasted as long as I did doing it).
Now the Directive is law, my average hours a week, spread over 4 months is just about staying within the limits. I'm only driving in the UK now, with the occasional trip to Ireland, and the company I work for pay time and a half over and beyond the first eight hours of the day.
I thought I'd lose a lot of money because of the Directive, but in fact, beacuse I always work overtime hours each day I'm not earning very much less than I was before, although my take home pay's a lot less because I'm not getting 20 plus nights out money per month at European rates.
Anyone like to comment?

You know the two jacks at the front of the trailer:
Do they actually lift the trailer up off the cab or is it done another way:
I have never seen the cab hitch / un hitch before and allways wondered and wanted to see this done.
