Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Mitigation

Adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation systems work together to keep the truck at a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it, and alert the driver and take pre-emptive braking action.
Chris Josten, Estherville, IA terminal manager, explains why Heyl Truck Lines equips their trucks with the adaptive cruise control, predictive cruise control, and collision mitigation.
While these systems are in place to assist the driver, there is definitely no replacement for a safe driver first and foremost!

The CMS is LITERALLY the most dangerous feature in these pos “modern“ trucks. It applies the auto brake to a complete stop while you driving at 75mph for literally no reason whatsoever. All the trucks I drove that have it did it multiple times. I still don’t know how this is legal. Am sure if the general population know about this it would be illegal.

[@bigbiscuits3885]

Worst system ever! As a driver its the most dangerous and annoying system

[@MoonKush]

How do you disable this and switch to normal good old cruise control?

[@CashisKingtrucking]

I don't think I could ever drive for a company that had this on their trucks. I've used it a little bit it's very dangerous. If you need a radar to keep you from rear-ending cars you don't need to be driving truck in the first place.

[@lindseycampbell4431]

This is the absolute worst pos system for drivers. I have a lot of patience in life and it makes me want to drive through a brick wall at times. It is not safe.

[@jonreid3801]

Ya how do I shut it off got me doing 30 on the high way

[@ischwartz]

Do your trucks come with training wheels too?

[@politically_incorrect_717]

Ten of them

[@twothumbs8925]

How do you turn that loud annoying beeping down or off? It’s ridiculous. I literally keep over a truck length of following distance and this thing continues to beep beep beep

[@audrinabutterfly6168]

They also cause insanity. Stupidist idea yet. I would say worse then elogs

[@pescad0]

The adaptive is great but the predictive sucks. It'll just go into neutral for no reason on flat ground, slow you down, then speed up again and it makes other drivers think you are playing games if they're passing.

[@randgrithr7387]

Looking for a way to disable PCC in my international. It's awful compared to the Freightliner I was in, randomly speeding up or slowing down with no rhyme or reason.

[@EagleTalonZ]

Does anyone know how to turn this off?! It thinks shadows are solid objects, like overpass shadows. It slammed the brakes at 70 mph, TWICE during rush hour! This is so dangerous! It caused the whole load to shift! 🤬

[@butchmann1]

These systems are dangerous...... Too many times it nose dives the truck when there is plenty of room and now you're saying it will coast going down the hill..... So much for safety... And with all the buzzers and beepers for the notifications while you're trying to drive it becomes a major distraction...... You get to the point where you just scream out loud....... What's the problem now

[@MMM-sj8rg]

I just flipped that shitty radar in front of my bumper, front side to rear - rear side to front, radar system will block and will activated speed mode only. Peterbilt 579 Epiq 2024 cruise control working well no annoying beep beep sounds.
God bless American truck drivers

[@politically_incorrect_717]

The predictive is annoying as it actually starts slowing the truck down before getting to the top to adjust for the downhill speed. Although you can immediately step on the acceleration to disable predictive. This way, you don't annoy drivers behind you, wondering why you're slowing down quickly before you crest the top of the hill.

[@winginitwithjohn8451]

No mention of shadows from an overpass, construction cones and barrels slamming the brakes.
He lied, I'm the driver, but no control to turn this off when it malfunctions.

[@geeguerrero749]

does this company train new drivers?

[@HeylTruckLines]

We do have a limited training program. Available opportunities vary by location.

[@K0s101]

They should open a school for sure, Gee.

[@frankfuentes5659]

I asked about a trainer & they never had anyone available in my area.

[@rented_mule8790]

It reads speed limit signs that are on Frontage roads it stabs the brakes when it sees a car in another Lane on a corner it puts you almost through the windshield every time you're not paying attention this truck will kill you

[@politically_incorrect_717]

Won't kill you but definitely annoying.

[@winginitwithjohn8451]

How can I disable this system?

[@politically_incorrect_717]

By parking the truck, lol

[@BradAkervik]

Worst system ever,

[@zitens66]

Don't buy a truck with this installed in it.
