Autoshifts?

Someone on here said they do.
Here's some that do or part of their fleet is auto:
TransAm
Maverick
Nussbaum
Averitt
Interstate Distributor

 

Have you talked to Total Transportation or KLLM, both out of MS.

 

USA does, but was fasing them out last year when I was there. Same as USX (Total transportation and Arnold).
Averitt has them and are adding more, which is unfortunate because that's where I am now. I don't mind automatics, just hate them for backing purposes, which I do a lot wit 3-5 store deliveries a day.

 

I used auto's with one company & during backing we would feather the brake pedal just like you would feather the clutch pedal during backing. In other words, you have to get the engine RPM's up a little, then play with the brake pedal during backing. This method worked with the Volvo transmissions. I love those auto's.

 

Any truck number mid 2900 and older is auto shift other than trainer trucks.

 

Technically none of the USA Trucks have "Autoshifts" they were all either "Ultrashifts" or standard 10 spds.

 

What's the difference?

 

Autoshifts have a clutch pedal. Ultrashifts don't
