Pigbacon's Pig Pen: Magnum Ltd, Fargo, ND

I believe all out trainer trucks have a manual. Not absolutely sure about that thou. Ask Tony

 

@Oor ahould be able to answer this. I think he's a trainer here.

 

All the trainer trucks are manuals Augiedoggie41.

 

What happened to Pigbacon?

 

He went back to work in the oil fields. He only eats dust and boogers now

 

All Magnum trainer trucks are manuals. As a new driver, you'll most likely get a manual when released from training, although I have had a few students put into autos. Some by preference, some because that's what was available at the time, and some because that's what we rescued and they liked it.

 

Actually all 17's and 18's and EPIQ trucks which means 10 spd automated manual...the last of the manuals would be the 16's...looks like all of our new trucks from this point on will be AMT's.

 

It seems like I'm in the minority but it breaks my heart to see the industry going to automatic.

 

You're not in the minority.

 

Maybe automatics are ok for local drivers but if I'm doing long haul I need a manual transmission. I took a road test in an automatic for a company I didn't know what to do with myself.
