    Yes. All of the newer trucks have them. There are still a few trucks on the road that don't, but they are in process of getting all them(700's) off the road.

    All the newer 680s are autos. Again there are still some(quite a few) older 680s on the road still that are manual. Supposedly those will be off the road eventually as well but it's going to take time.

    I'm pretty sure you can go regional right after getting your own truck.

    Yea for the most part. I'm averaging about 3400 on my weeks I run the weekend and have had multiple 3800s. I doubt the regional guys are able to get that especially if going home every weekend. I stay out 2 full weeks then go home for 4 days my 3rd weekend out.
