    Yeah, I just know I’d be able to do a 10 speed or auto with my eyes closed. Throwing a 13 speed I’m just a deer in head lights. I’m sure I’ll be fine. As the recruiter says. They’re actually just testing us to see if we are reachable. So not too worried.

    One thing I do like is that you don’t have to clutch for the high low switch. It seems to be based solely on the accelerator

    thats one of the best transmissions other than the dt12 personally. its just nice to have the split gears on the mountains.

    13 spd has always been my favorite transmission to drive followed by the 12spd Mack mDrive auto.

    A 13 spd is simple. Just an 8 speed with extra half gears on the high side. Nothing to get worked up about

    He says he parks the truck at his house usually but parks at the kenworth dealer if he has a trailer.
