{"replyTo":"","text":"Everyone is moving to automatics. It’s becoming the norm because of the mpg as well as easier to train new drivers. \n\nSoon dealers will start to charge extra for manual just like the car dealerships. ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Some older drivers give others a hard time because a lot of new drivers are only in Automatics, but it's never just the choice of the driver themselves.\n\nCompanies are always looking towards safety, and Automatics- in their words- remove an extra distraction from the driver, increase MPG, and allow on-board safety devices to control your truck if necessary (i.e. if you're following too close).\n\nI asked for a manual, but both companies I've worked for had MONTHS of a wait to get one of the few they had left. Which they were planning to replace anyways with.... Automatics.","replyToPid":0}
