    Does May use manual or auto transmissions?

    I thought it was funny. Hahahahahahah see, funny. May uses both 13speed stick and 10 speed autoshift since you have no sence of humor. Is this the deal breaker for you?

    The majority of our trucks use 13 speed Eton Fullers however I have heard that all their new trucks starting with the cascadias are going to be automatics. The rumor doesn't make sense because my last truck was a brand new 2015 Cascadia and it had a 13 speed manual. Yet last march I had the chance to check out one of our 2015 pro stars and it had a 13 speed auto. So as far as the transition to autos I'm not 100% sure but I know that right now the VAST majority of our fleet is running 13 speed manuals.
    Hope I answered your question.

    I average 2700 to 3000 miles a week and I am very happy with the company (save upper management) but I have met a couple people who are not. I think a lot of it has to do with the DMs here... my DM is great and has been with the company 15+ years yet we seem to have a lot of newbies as well. My DM gives me my load and my route and leaves me alone and that's how I like it.
    Overall I am satisfied.

    They have autos that are being tested out in the fleet. Like 20 trucks or so until next year when they order the new batch. They will start phasing out the sticks soon because its all about saving money on fuel. May will become the next transam

    The dm has nothing to do with the loads. The planners are the people who get you rolling. The dms are just there to babysit you.
