    Did a lil time with tmc than moved on to better things. Lol. Other than that n a local job for a lil bit I've been with Boyd. I'm in a few threads around here so that's probably it.

    I hear you Cruisecontrol. They all have their pros and cons. But it's easy to get used to being able to drive and drink coffee at the same time. :biggrin_25520: Only tranny I don't like so far is the Lightning 10. The Super 10 that auto-shifts back and forth from 9th and 10th. What's the point? Give me total control until I'm topped out then take it away? (Different thread, I know) :biggrin_2554:

    Boyd Bros. is out of Birmingham I thought. Are you talking about the same company? I have not read too much bad about them.

    Not to knock your grammar skills but I can't hardly understand what you are trying to say? Maybe it's just me.
