Why do truck speed up on the down side of a hill with cruise on?

Trucks do not speed up on the down side of a hill with cruise control on. In fact, cruise control works to maintain the desired speed set by the driver, regardless of the incline or decline of the road. The cruise control system uses sensors to monitor the vehicle's speed and makes adjustments to the engine's power and transmission to keep the speed constant.
