Looking for any legitimate advice I can get...

Winter weather on passes in PNW.

 

Backing is easier in a manual.

 

What % of your milage is that? That's like me making the argument for me wanting a auto sometimes, just because I had a bad day with traffic, hit every red light etc doesn't mean that's all or even most of the time I spend behind the wheel.

 

I got to drive that one auto when I was at UPS and I 100% disagree. There is a learning curve for getting used to how to feather the throttle but it's all the same and I was city p&d so I spent most of the day in reverse.

 

I like to pick the gear I need on that stuff.

 

Key word the one auto

 

So it's the only Kenworth out there that backs up?

 

You can read plenty on here of experienced drivers looking like it's their first day. We had 24 autos - company got complaints from all.

 

No maybe yours was wore out - broke in.

 

Too much when running each way weekly.
