    I am starting with a new company in about a week, they have offered me a choice between a 2007 KW 10 spd, or a 2009 Mack auto shift, which would be the best choice?

    I was going to say "It's a no-brainer...go with the Mack!" until I saw it was an auto.

    That being the case, I'd take the KW too. I have no use at all for an automatic transmission....not even in a car.

    Mack it's self is a joke. Especially since they caught the Volvo disease.

    Believe what you want. At least they are better than CAT engines.
