Read an article the other day that indicated a trend by trucking companies of outfitting their fleets with automatic/semi-automatic gearboxes because they can find drivers who are experienced with manual gearboxes.
Now I think that gear shifting is a required skill for a truck driver and if you can't drive a crash box (or even a synchro box) you should not be driving a truck.
I have posted a poll to get an idea of what other members think.
BTW sorry if this has been discussed before, did a quick search and could not find anything.
