[QUOTE="DrtyDiesel, post: 4294376, member: 68070"]We have autos in our company. Thanks to inexperienced drivers starting out in 4th and 5th gear on a straight 10 speed loaded at gross weight. They were going through so many clutches they just went to autos. Now they're spending butt loads repairing the autos. I hate having an automatic and our company doesn't have owner ops or I'd look into buying a truck.
