    A little trick to not paying out of your pocket if your a company driver buy some oil and window washer fluid and 2 grease packs for your fifth wheel then it costs you nothing.

    Hey guys, you give no consideration to the Shakers with 10 speeds. Baloney! Ive had one for two months and like it. I'm not you're average and ordinary statured person. The amount of stand-up room in here in
    unbelievable, as well as leg room. Oh, and no VORAD! You can have your
    pretty sardine cans, mine pulls the same amount of freight yours does
    and is more comfortable.

    Yeah, Man. I feel it coming. Actually, this one only has 469,000 miles on it, and runs darned good. Looks like crap, though. Front bumper rusted,
    paint chipped, bent in places, and the right fairing bent back quite a bit.
    All done before I inherited it, mind you. But, all good things have to come
    to a Kenworth end, don't they?

    Hey you guys. I recently recieved my CDL and now Im looking for a good trucking company. Last week I recieved my Pre-hire letter from Werner but after reading all of the negative post, I am looking the other way. TransAm sounds like a good company. The only downfall on my part would be hometime. Anyway, this maybe a dumb question but what is auto shift? Is that like shifting gears without clutching? The school I graduated from taught double-clutching, which took me awhile to learn but I got the hang of it. Also is it true that if you get hired with a company that drives automatics and then apply for a company who only drives manual, would it be hard to get hired?

    Check out Conway/CFI. They are a good company for newbies and the trucks are 10 speeds.
