    Is Schneider going to be an all auto fleet? I heard they are buying manuals again, or is that just gossip?

    I haven't heard one way or the other but I'd be shocked if it were anything but gossip. That'd be nice though

    Have to go with all automatics, so the entry skill level is pushed down further. That way, they can compete with the other megas that went auto on the race to the bottom of the barrel.
