Con-way bought 635 new tractors "all auto's"

If you are referring to the auto tranny part, the Volvo automated manual I drove recently was pretty nice. Spoiled me in fact. Took a little getting used to.

 

Beat you to it.......

In before the merge

 

Look Out McDonalds burger flippers "Con_Way Wants You"

 

I find no problem with this as my left knee is rather sore, because my 2006 International 8600 that I drive for a major broad line food service distributor has a clutch pedal that put's up quite a lot of resistance. In fact today I said "Gee an auto sure would be nice for all this city driving."

 

Another move to expand Con-Way's hiring base to the lowest common denominator -- this ain't CFI...

Automatics??? Wow. I was talking to Leavitt's Freight Service today and they said their trucks are all autos too. Kinda weird being a flatbed carrier that does a ton of PNW heavy haul up to BC and Alberta. Said that the maintenance is down and cheaper. Still wouldn't want one on the passes, I need that control to be able to make my own decisions. The transmission doesn't know the road conditions, I do. Seems like a lot of money being thrown at making the industry that much lazier.
