    owned by an investment company along with gantt trucking which tells me they are only worried about the bottom line.

    You are probably right. I was thinking they would blend them into one company and sell.

    Yes they now have a pet policy. Nothing over 40lbs.
    Trucks auto with OPTI IDLE, CAMS IN TRUCKS, yes they did sell out but on company side nothing has changed. I have a good manager and rarely have problems. I'm not a whiner so it works for me. Hometime though is 48hrs every two weeks. You could stay out for two months but only get two days off, doesn't matter.

    Yes. When I was last there they have them programmed in auto economy mode, at for the dt12 trans.

    I can switch mine to performance and manual mode. I use manual when going through downgrades, if you put the Jake on high while in auto it'll drop it too low and rev real high. It's smoother in manual.

    If that is Sunco they have changed the programming. The first ones they had were economy mode only . They all were dd15 engines with the dt12 trans. Then they got some with a cummins and eaton autoshift. The cummins with autoshift were better in my opinion. It has everything to do with the programming. The truck I drive now is a T660 isx15 450hp with 10spd autoshift. Totally unrestricted. Runs good pulls good. One trick to the autoshift type trans is not resticting the truck too much. I drove a peterbilt with a c13 Cat and 13 spd ultrashift after the engine was turned up would run and pull more like a manual.
