    If a guy wrecks a drive line I’m saying it’s because of many miles of prolonged abuse by many drivers. Most drivers don’t give a #### about their bosses equipment and tear it all to heck. Which is another reason for automatics. If ya can’t get a truck driver then get an auto

    I hope they can get you fixed up sooner than later. back and knees are the worst to have go out on a guy.

    tough for anyone to get knees replaced under 60 up here. our free health care isn't all it\s touted to be, I've got friends that have been waiting years for knee replacements. the ones with money go to other countries to have it done on their dime to salvage any kind of life.

    If you’re talking about putting cripples in trucks then that’s different and not what I’m talking about. I saw a one legged truck driver come into the fuel desk on crutches a few weeks ago. I assumed it was an auto and I didn’t think less of him for it......but I did wonder if maybe a guy with his attitude wasn’t driving a manual anyway

    Just like I said before....fleets putting lazy, brain dead, rookie steering wheel holders in a truck even though they haven’t even spent enough time in a truck to learn to shift

    you figure running manual transmissions will stop that from happening? I've got some bad news for you...
