Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Having driven a majority of manufacturers auto transmissions, I’d say the iShift is the best auto on the market. They are very smooth when reversing and backing into docks and such. The Detroit DT12 in the Freightliners is solid too but I feel like iShift still outperforms it

 

DT12 creep mode takes some beating. The iShift I drove certainly didnt compare.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

While at Abilene, I drove mostly Volvos but also a KW for a few weeks... pros and cons to both... some will like one, some will like the other... competition is good to keep everyone improving their products...

 

I agree. I just was curious if is true like for example. Some driver told me that Volvos are a bit heavier and you really have to be careful when you're pulling for example "Gatorade".

 

The ishift and mack’s mshift are the best.

 

That is one of the few I have not driven.. seemingly Eaton/Cummins attempt to overcome the shortcomings compared to Detroit and Volvo where their engines are designed to work hand in hand with each other.

 

Anyone got pointers for someone's inaugural trip to the Pennsauken Stay Fresh? I seem to recall folks having particulars about the place.
