Companies running automatic transmissions?

lets see I have driven a 5 speed with elc. 2 speed rears / 10 speed /5 x 4 / 10 x 4 / 13 speed over and also under / 15 speed / 18 speed now with double locker rear ends.
spicer sst 114/ pain in the asre tranny/ air 4 x 4 / 5 speed mack. mack duplex .

BUT NEVER WILL I DRIVE AN AUTO. AUTO's ARE FOR SISSES.....

 

I have only driven 9's, 10's, 13's, & 18's....

But I'll attempt a quadraplex long before I attempt an automatic.

 

I drove a 70 Mack for a couple of weeks with one of these...I didn't master the box and I didn't like the truck at all.

Never ran one.

I ran a couple of these. (Very easy boxes to operate)

Never ran one.

Never ran one.

Of all the two stick boxes that I ever had the 4X4 is by far my favorite!
It's the transmission that I learned to drive on and I had them in my first three trucks as an O/O.

Test drove a truck with one in it in the late 70's...Didn't like it!

I have driven and owned every 13 speed model that has ever come out and I liked them all.

I only had one truck with a 15 speed in it...Good transmission, tough as nails, great for heavy haul but I prefer the 18 speed.

 

You didn't mention the 5X3 and 5X4 boxes....I have run both and they are both great combinations as well.

 

I dunno, I've got 200,000 miles in a manual trranny truck, I've had two cars with manuals, I still prefer my autoshift

 

don't worry gramps, we understand

hey and make sure you get a new stopper for the bottom of your cane, we wouldn't want you to slip

 

<<checks wallet>> yep, my license is a class A CDL with tx endorsements

Oh and my local McDonalds distributor has autoshift 379 and 386 Pete's for local and OTR delivery drivers.

 

can you please provide support for this

 

guess that makes the roadtrain driver who pulls 168 tonne regularly with an autoshift a sissy, maybe you should have that talk with him

 

this from the state of Kentucky:

To remove an Automatic Transmission restriction, the applicant must retake the road trip portion of the
skills test only in a Class A or Class B vehicle only.

i would rather now you guys, DISPROVE ME.....from this point on. because frankly, some of you make yourselfs look like @sses......

I DO NOT MAKE UP STORIES or LIE about things. I simply report them as they happen to be, or used to be. if changes took place from my last knowledge of something so be it, but you cannot discount what knowledge i have, and HAVE provided PROOF many times before. yet some of you still do not believe things, even when you read them from the links i provide.
