beg to differ. Current technology has the situation in automatics much
more lucrative than a manual trans. The OTR auto's are a hydraulic/brain
control of the same manual gear box. The reasons for this being a better
system are: less driver abuse, less driver turnover (none seem to want to
drive a manual ever again...), better fuel economy, and longer clutch
life. All lead to less cost to the company. I believe at least 1 OTR
company (Swift?) has a large % (maybe >80%?) of their fleet as
automatics, our company has several also. It's the wave of the future!
