That's kinda like asking should a "driver" that can't drive, be allowed on the road. Part of me wants to say no( in regard to the transmission question), but as S Cummins said, the larger companies look at truckin from the bottom line. So, what you end up with are gomers that can't shift gears, can't back up, can't make a corner without running over something, can't use common courtesy on the road or in a parking lot, can't bathe properly, can't use a bathroom, can't find a trash can, and can't miss every buffet from the left coast to the right. Sad state of affairs here. It's called the dumming down of the industry.
What they are good at is talking on a cell phone, text messaging, peeing in bottles, driving a truck like it will stop on a dime (following to close), modeling beach/vacation clothing, and generally doing most anything they can to aggravate the general public, all while driving.
Now, for those newer drivers out there, this is not an indictment of ALL newer drivers, just seems the gomers stick out more.
Same thing is happening in the equipment operator field as well. I just saw several heavy equipment simulators advertised this week in a magazine. That's for me. I'll hire them over a seasoned operator anyday, because THEY HAVE CREDENTIALS. NOT
OK, I'll get down off my soap box now.
Just my .02 worth
