I get both sides. From the trucker's perspective, you can't go downhill simply riding the brakes all the time, especially mountains and such. Your brakes will fail. Just towing my 5th wheel through parts of Tennessee and northern Alabama have heated my brakes up more than I like. Warped one set of rotors on my truck.

However, if it's flat land and near residential areas I get it. Nothing like that noise at 3AM 100ft outside your window, loud enough to wake the dead.
