Should I stick to automatic or go to manual?

Manuals are for men. Automatics are for manginas. I’d take a split shift 12 speed any day of the week.

Manual is ok for specific types of trucking, but for long haul automatic is best. Also, automatic gets better fuel mileage.

 

Comments like that are usually made by men with small packages.

 

Find a truck specd out to the type of freight you plan to haul. FUEL MILEAGE should be your top priority. 7.5mpg vs 6mpg will make a HUGE difference in your bottom line as an O/O.

 

If you drive 100,000 miles per year....you will save well over $10,000 in fuel cost alone.

 

Automatics is what put large amounts of non truck driving dangerous idiots behind the wheel today.

 

Nope..... those guys have been around forever. I've driven both.... Prefer the automatic myself.

 

If nothing else, learn to drive on a manual, to AVOID having a restriction on one's CDL. This way, if one is driving an automatic, one can go back to driving a manual, if need be.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.
