Are "manual transmissions only" types of drivers supertruckers?

My friend has the little renegade with 6 manual. Goes better than I thought it would with the small 1.4 turbo

 

Early in the morning this old U model with a lift axle is loaded to the hilt hauling logs. Run that 1st one heavy. I'll have to snap a pic next time I see him. Next load of the day is a lot smaller Lol.

 

I have an uncle that does Lol. Doesn't like chicken either unless it's wings or tenders.

The real question is Heinz or Hunts

 

No but my other friend has the Colorado with 2.8 Duramax with a good tuner on it. Those are dead dead from the factory. His isn't deleted

 

If a driver can expertly shift their own gears and you cannot, then yes, that driver IS better than you. That's how this works...

 

Hey Hammer that's cool glad ya got her trapped lol. To bad about Otter sad to hear that. Heck we're all getting older. Have u heard from EV and glad ya talked to Red how is she doing.

 

I prefer my 18 speed. But I might give it up for the Allison auto tranny. I loved that one.

 

dont bogart that joint, my friend...

 

Short answer… depends

now for the explanation

for me it’s manuals, because back in the 90’s company I was with got two, and I was chosen to be one of the Guinea pigs to test them out, now they weren’t full auto, still had a gear shifter and clutch, there were to buttons on top of the shifter, and after the first 4 shifts, you hit a button and the trans was suppose to take over, it never worked right, and I hated it, now I know times have changed and they have come along ways, but I just prefer to have the gears shifter and clutch
