I advocate for the Volvo Ishift too. I am running one of those now. I think Volvo is the best truck anyone can buy in this era.
Are "manual transmissions only" types of drivers supertruckers?

I have a 10 speed Manuel in my current truck and don't feel that it makes me superman .
If on the off chance I replace my current truck the next will definitely be an automatic. -

Oh I LOVED An Auto-Shift.
It Was Glorious to SLAM DOCKS Because No Variance in Throttle Action.
It Was Wonderful To Be UNABLE To Select Gears Or Ability To Run Gears A Bit Higher Than The Preset Nanny Designs.
It Was Exciting To Not Be Able To Take Off In 4th or 5th On Slippery Surfaces.
The Best Part Was Rampant Shifting Up & Down On Winding, Hilly, Country 2 Lane Back Roads In To Effectively Overheat The Transmission.
The BEST Auto-Shift I Drove, For About 6 Years, Was A 2013 Freightshaker Walk-In Condo And It Had A Clutch Pedal And It Wasn't A Pansy Clutch, So Stop-n-Go Traffic Kept Me Awake.
