    Looks to me like this thread is proof of that. We can certainly expect to see more.

    I've noticed that even guys who say they can drive a manual, can't.

    To the OP: I recently was asked by a Heartland Express recruiter if I can drive manuals, it seems they have manuals in their fleet.

    Could it be possible he just wanted you to think that so he'd have more of a chance of reeling you in?

    I don't think so. She expressed it as a requirement, and while I can drive manuals just fine, I didn't ask about transmissions. Who knows, maybe?

    I bet their older trucks are all manuals . You see a lot of older Prostars and Cascadias roaming around plus there are all the old 10 spd manual trucks from Gordon and Interstate that they now own

    There is no place for an auto tranny in a big truck. Just my opinion. As long as i have a choice of the truck i drive, it will always be a manual.
