[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 180349, member: 6408"] Chan, that may seem right, but consider: Here goes some management bashing here. Jump to feeder equipment (I know, the thread was started asking about initial road test, but bear with me). Locally, we started out with 5-speeds, all Macks. Each one was different as night and day. Some were COMPLETELY worn out and had a throw that could pull your arm out, some were newer and were much tighter. When it came time for annual ride:lol: . You see where I'm going? "They're all the same!!!!" Supes could not shift em! We got some 7-spds. Some seasoned feeder drivers just could not get used to them and requested different tractor on a run. I once got a new COE International with an 8-sp, with the last (7-8) being automatic. Figure THAT one out! I thot it was nice but when bid off the run, they had to take it out and replace with conventional 8-sp cuz drivers AND supes were just baffled! Now we have mostly 10-sps. Still humorous when ride-a-long takes over (Top Gun at DTS, according to them) and we're stopped dead in the water from not being able to shift. "Oh, this one is different then the last one I was in". Well, the last one you were in was still a 10-sp, no? They're all the same, right? Chan, ever driven a 13-sp "over"? Ever driven a 5x4? A 5x3? They're all sticks and a stick is just a stick, right? To twist my favorite saying from Animal Farm, which has already been recently quoted, "All sticks are created equal but some sticks are more equal than others". [/QUOTE]
