    If you are not coordinated enough or capable to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission, you have no business driving a truck. I grew up on a farm and have been driving trucks since I was 12 years old. My wife and I ran team and she shifted 10 speeds and a super 10. If a kid and a woman can do it you should be able to too.

    Doesn't Stevens Transport in Dallas use automatics?
    Call Raider Express in Ft. Worth and ask if they use automatics.

    Roadmaster will train you in an auto, they have a school in San Antonio. Personally I'd recommend learning a manual transmission, it's aggravating at first but after a month or two you get it pretty much down. I'm in a 10 wishing for a 13

    You need to learn to drive a standard. What happens when you're with a company that has automatics, but something happens and you have to drive a standard for a couple of weeks? "Uh, sorry dispatch, I never learned how to."

    Come on man. Its a transmission. Not astrophysics.
