    the recruiter said that only 35% of the fleet is automatic now and those will be phased out over the next year or so...

    Many of those automatics are in the hands of lease drivers.

    I'm in a 2011 Cascadia with a 10 spd. This is my third truck. My first was one of those mid-roof 2012 Petes with a 9 spd. When I teamed up they put us in a 2012 Cascadia, 10 spd, but someone hit us and we got put in this. Then I got rid of the co-driver and kept this truck.
