[QUOTE="SWORDFISH, post: 726472, member: 26234"] I am very fortunate to be in a center that has all power steering automatics. We just switched over. However if your truck breaks down your right back to the stoneages. Im curious as to many centers are still in the stoneages and the ones that are finally updated to the times? Well I have many thougts but the one on my mind is because of this week. I was driving my truck Monday mourning and just had finished my NDA. I was driving through a parking lot(luckily) and the truck just died while I was driving(no brakes or steering). After transferring the entire p1000 over to another truck we got my truck started. The supe was dumb enough to drive it back to the center. He got very lucky because it didnt die on him till it got right in the middle of the UPS lot blocking the trafic one way. Some people where telling me about it while laughing later on because of where it was stopped. Anyway to the point I drove a manaul all week and noticed that I was losing about 20 mins a day compared to driving my auto. So it brings me to my last thought which is if it saves me about 20 min a day to have an automatic wouldnt that be a good investment for the company? [/QUOTE]
