    Let me ask this new Steering Wheel Holder, How many accidents, incidents, or Tickets have you had in your Very Short Time of driving a Big Twuck? There`s not a thing I have seen or done on the road, or had a friend go through. My guess is you have absolutely no experience none what so ever, now tell me you have what 2, 5, or 10 years driving? If so, again, NO, experience yet. And if you had any of the above, You loose.
    So Good luck my friend. You can keep dem dar cheap arse Auots.

    They gone all auto because the NEW steering wheel holders are ripping up the manuals and Clutch. Company figures, just push your foot down, and GO.

    Auto trans, Simple, so why should they pay you anything over $10.00 hr. or 11. cent pr. mile. Sounds about right.

    you wont be able to rock the truck back and forth to get unstuck in a trailer drop lot in the snow in an automatic, also you wont be able to keep the truck at high rpm by down shifting to get up a snow and ice covered hill. i seen a swift that could not get up sand stone mountain because his automatic would not keep the truck at high rpm to keep the tires grabbing the snow and ice quickly.
