[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 454478, member: 10"] Back in the 90's I worked for CalArk trucking. CalArk was the first company that tested the then new EATON AutoShift for Class 8 trucks. Basically a computer that sits atop a manual transmission and does all the shifting for you. I despised it. Coming down Cabbage or Donner out west or even Sandstone over in Virginia without being in control was terrifying. For the next 20 years I avoided working for companies that purchased them, going so far as quitting a pretty decent job hauling for Lowes when the boss decided to purchase all new trucks with auto shifts. I just watched a video on the Daimler DT12. I actually wish I could try one. It looks like 20 some odd years of upgrades has gotten the bugs out. Anyone drive one? [/QUOTE]
