On the Boeing's that I have flown the only time you touch the rudder at cruise speeds is during the recovery from unusual attitudes, top rudder to compensate for extreme bank angle, other wise, once past, at the latest, 210kts, leave the rudder alone. It would appear that somewhere in the transition from general aviation to jets the lessons about the rudder, it's uses etc. and how to apply it are being forgotten.
