    No, all I was simply trying to find out about were automatic rigs, and the only damage done to the rig is scratched paint. The rig was a demo and lying around my uncle's lot for awhile, everybody shuns the automatics where I live, he was just trying to get rid of it. Why people think there's some unknown motive behind everything I'll never understand. I guess some people are so jaded they can't accept that someone is trying to do a guy a favor.

    From what I've read. People like Volve i shift automatic but hate eatons. (Either are an option in a volvo, go figure) I have no experience with either one.

    So buy it. Figuring out how to make money with it is obviously the no-brainer part of becoming a successful owner operator.

    If all you wanted to know was about automatic rigs, why add " I'm being offered a 2015 Volvo vnl64t80 for $45,000 Canadian because she was scratched to hell at a dealers, she's got about 8,000 km on her too." as that is irrelevant to your concerns?. You KNOW you're going to get comments about that, just didn't get the comments you expected I guess. Sarabeara has some good advice. Give it some thought and use your best judgement.

    Dude, get a thicker skin on you. This is the internet. A trucker's forum, no less. If you are gonna have sugar in your draws and get butt hurt when people don't answer or say what you want, you're in the wrong spot. Let alone, the wrong industry. You ask a vague question, got some fairly decent responses and cry foul? Wow.....
