After awhile, downshifting will be as automatic as upshifting. You will get to the point where you can use the engine brake and downshift all the way to an almost complete stop, even in traffic. I don't to THAT all the time, but I definitely downshift coming up to stop signs, traffic lights, road blockages such as construction - saves on the brake linings, keeps the brake drums from heating up - especially when in heavy traffic (I'm in it daily). Eventually, YOU - WILL - be an automatic transmission and you won't even have to think about it (hence the automatic transmission!).

whats atlanta like is it beatiful

 

Atlanta is beautiful if you see it in your mirror as you are leaving!

 

ive never drown thru atlanta never been there but i have drove thru downtown L.A and your talking about scary there it is bumper to bumper the whole way and trying to get to the other side is near immpossible if you pass your exit it takes about an hour to get turned around to start from scratch good luck larry ill be there the 8th maybe we will run into each other later dude.

 

I like what your telling us about Prime. I agree with everyone else though, stay away from the lease program. My step dad got screwed by them on that one. Our truck over heated in Montana and shut down in 13 below weather. That made no sense. It was the last run anyway sense we were dropping it off and then driving back to Springfield where we had already cleaned the truck then drove into the shop handed them the key's and walked away. Back then I didn't know Prime had company driver's as all I knew it was nothing but a O/O/lease company. One thing I don't like about what you said though is the 50,000 mile part. Do you have to stay on the road the whole time to do it or do you get to go home every few week's?

As for Atlanta, yes, scary! There when it rain's it pour's as everyone put's on their flasher's and slow's WAY down. It make's no sense but ok. I really don't care as long as I am kept away from NYC and L.A. I can deal with the rest with any company.
