    US Express Enterprises has been buying 10 speed manuals lately and is reported by some to be moving away from auto-shifts.

    I have. I was just curious as to how many companies are using them. This is the first time in almost 40 years of driving that I've ever had an automatic in a tractor. Buses yes, but not in a tractor. Makes a lazy man out of you.

    Central refrigerated has some, but they are for lease only. No company drivers.
