You might encounter a few super truckers who'll say you're not a real trucker unless you can shift, LOL. I don't agree but just be prepared for some criticism. Shifting began hurting my knee after a while, they'd just say well your just a sourpuss..you gotta love these types.... I'll gladly drive an automatic all day local.. one less distraction.. and better knee..
Meanwhile these guys can barely walk..
Anyone else hate shifting?
