Primarily during long stretches of driving when not in stop-and-go traffic. As for why, there's a number of reasons.
- Maintaining a consistent speed
- Fuel efficiency (yes, the cruise is more efficient)
- Keeping your speed under control. This is a big one for me, as I tend to have a heavy right foot. Especially when I was running 18 wheelers over-the-road.
- Takes pressure off your ankle and joints in your foot.
- More power. Some heavy duty commercial vehicles have engines which have two horsepower ratings - the higher horsepower rating typically goes into effect with the cruise control engaged. This encourages drivers to use the cruise control, allowing the vehicle to run more efficiently.

Likely, an expressway is the only place one could use cruise control. The minimum speed to use cruise control is at least 45 mph and many roads don't allow that speed.
