    Are the autoshifts as reliable as manuals? Also are they mostly all 10 spds? They have to be better in heavy traffic jams. That can kill your poor ol' left leg.

    I think so, in my experience with this company Freightliner makes the most reliable autoshift, but I haven't had any problems yet with my peterbuilt, you can set the cruse control in these trucks just like a car and they will downshift and upshift without stopping cruse control

    Yes the entire fleet is 10 speed, i have only seen 2 trucks and they were on a special account that were 13 speed autoshift...
