Bad news for manual lovers

He's never even driven a truck. You think he can shift?

 

I think your clutch is set up wrong....and I don't have a problem with a 13 but I think a 15 or a 10 would drive me nuts. But regardless, nobody is saying auto's ain't good for the city.

It's not for no reason. It's cheaper to own a manual. Plain and simple undeniable fact.

 

Driverless trucks. LOL. The gov't can't even figure out E-logs and they're going to allow driverless trucks? LMAO.

Are they going to chain my load for me?

 

No you'll do that. You just won't drive. Drivers will be the "get out of town" guy then once on the interstate the truck will take over and then you'll take over again once you get near destination.

 

What I'm driving at is over a career you develope many skills to getr done. Autos have their place as does city driving. However its a small niche in ttrucking. If you stay in the industry you have to learn new skills. Thats all I'm saying. 1 yr doesn't have much time to really know much. Latr I got a pipeline to build.

 

We'll see triple 53's before that happens.

I used to program robots in another life and I can tell you this: Robots are great when they are presented with a controlled environment. The moment they have to react to something that ain't in the playbook then stuff goes to hell in a hand basket quick. Often it takes more money to clean up the mess than you saved.

 

Why is so hard to believe that a computer could drive a truck on the interstates? Any idiot should be able to drive a truck. So it's not a stretch that a computer making millions of calculations every second with sensors monitoring everything there is to monitor could keep a truck going straight. Computer doesn't get tired, doesn't get distracted, doesn't get emotional, doesn't make stupid human errors.

 

LMAO there's your sign.

 

Becasue...as I said...."I used to program robots..."

 

Well they have cars already that are driverless do it's not far of a stretch.
