    Some of you guys that are hating the autos should drive the eaton 12. It does perfectly in everywhere. I can push a button a couple times and get it to drop me from 11th to 9th on a 7% grade with 45k in the box. Whatever the problems that early autos had, these don't.

    Not saying I couldn't also shift a 13 speed or a 10 the same way with my hands and feet, but why? I get stuck in traffic? No problem. Why should I want to do more work for same pay?

    Don't worry you don't have to make it a math equation of you don't want to I don't think, unless they do on the permit test... Those are the questions I am focusing on studdying, any with numbers, like you must have 4/32" tread on your steer tires and 2/32" on the others. And something like a crack on a drum cannot be longer than "1, I better get back to reading the manual.

    Isn't there at least one driver running around in a dress?

    Yep, he drives for Purple Cow Trucking based out of Florida. Some drivers that post on here claim they've seen him.

    I love the auto shift truck. It makes the job appreciably easier. I'll never go back. 500 miles of driving an auto shift feels like nothing at all. It simply cannot beat in traffic.
