    I'm in VB tonight until tomorrow evening lol... My 90 Days of being solo was on ThanksGiving day, I didn't realize that until i seen the date circled and remembered the Upgrade Liaison circled that lol. I also need to get my new ID card so I don't have to keep typing in the info to get into gates :D

    Anyways, hopefully I can get the few things I need fixed on my truck tomorrow and get to OK for my delivery tomorrow night.

    Good for you!! I love hearing the positive with a reasonable amount of negative thrown in to keep it real. I can swallow brutal honesty much easier than whining complaints. Thanks for the update.
    Be safe.

    I was under the impression that USA Truck used automatics in their tractors?

    the automatics are 10 speeds too :p

    but anyways.. the older 9400i's are manual trannies. I'm not sure on the numbers but i'm pretty sure all the trucks starting with 88 and 89 are stick and some of the early 1000's are stick too. Other then that, the rest of the fleet (except the trainer/team trucks) are autos. Although I've heard they are switch back to the sticks...
