why you do not want a automatic.

I wonder if they had these kinds of conversations when they went from 2 stick transmissions to air shift?

 

HUSH!!! Don't be giving them ideas!!!

 

The only thing I hate about automatics is that they spin tires too easily, making winter driving more of a headache.

 

How is that going to work for the slobs that #### in bags and piss in jugs?

 

had a tow truck with automatic tow me into shop..tow trk had to stop as the brakes were burning up....no downshift????

 

Too proud to admit an automatic is awesome for city driving!

two coworkers have been driving push auto Mack's for a year now, going into their second winter with them. Took them both probably two months to get 100% comfortable with them, now, the boss has to pry the keys from them when it's time for PM. 20 yrs and 15 yrs exp.

 

When I was 18 I drove truck for a farmer out in South Dakota in and old Pete cab over shifting gears and having a great OL time. Now 20 years later I decided I wanted to drive truck again and borrowed my buddies 389 Pete. Loved it pretty good at floating the gears even after l these years. So I went out and got my cdl. Got hired on with a awesome local otr outfit. Come to find out that all their trucks are automatics. At first wasn't real happy about that since I loved pulling gears but the autos aren't terrible either I guess. Some days I would rather be shifting than there are some days while in heavy traffic I'm ok with the auto shift

 

I had an auto volvo 670 for a few months, the only time in"sorta" liked it was in traffic, now I'm in a prostar (cummins) with 10spd and I would never get back in an auto again. Just a few short months in an auto made me appreciate gears much more
