    Hilarious “bro”. Maybe we can become the next great thing in stand up. A duet, if you will!

    @shogun is right though in the sense of that convenience coming with a price.

    You can’t pop start it, and there’s that “eco-coast” crap that IMHO is a hell of a good way to get someone killed with a heavy load coming down a hill.

    I personally prefer the reliable over the convenient, and I’ve been a peddle hand for 13 years.

    @MACK E-6

    When I had a DT12 in a 16 Cascadia go blank on me at two highways intersecting, and coast to the shoulder at 2 mph, it gave me little faith. They all seem quirky to me, from Volvo to Eaton and all in between. And I can’t smoothly back them up on the same stops I hit first try in my manual.

    I’ve heard the complaints already about some of ours blanking out in the middle of u-turns on highways.

    No, that’s not an accident waiting to happen, is it? :rolleyes:

    I don’t know how I’ll be able to bump a dock smoothly
    without slamming the hell out of the building with one of those awful contraptions.

    We have lots of trailers with damage on the tail due to that issue.

    Volvo autos are WORLDS ahead of Eatons, especially in reverse. The Eatons have gotten better, but they still have a long way to go in terms of finding a gear within a month.

    I thought the freightliner 12 speed auto sucked until I ran a Pete with one of the Eaton ultrashifts. Slamed into the dock hard and then it rolled forward. Did that three times before I finally got it right up against the dock without it rolling away. Felt like a newbe all over again. The new 12 speed is supposed to be better but after my experience with the ten I'll stick to the shakers.
