<p>[QUOTE="Mylastmile2018, post: 6871625, member: 209974"]Auto shift does not belong in trucking, not ever. The industry let a bunch a panzy lightweights in. I'm soo freaking angry. How many times do i have to say it, auto shift does not know conditions of road surface, grade, traffic around you and million other things. The pansy lightweight just got a free hand to text with! There is no class in trucking anymore. Crybabys can't synchronize a transmission, so I gotta dumb down. Tried auto, I could not drive the way I have done for years, you can't even approach a red light intersection, you can't save torque, momentum, the right rpm nothing etc. It is extremely dangerous to me. The kid thinks shes in a car, and when she takes that high center of gravity paper roll load into a hairpin, she's gonna lay it over...Auto shift does not belong in trucking, not ever. Auto shift is for sunny day drivers.</p><p>I'm a greasy ice driver and I can't let a computer do everything for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
