    Who makes the best heavy haul truck? (Semi)

    I'm agreeing. Id want an auto. It makes life easier to get from point a to point b. And easier to drive in general. If I was going across country i wouldn't wanna be shifting the whole time and traffic in manual sucks. I honestly don't think an auto is that Bad. I really like the Volvo ishifts
