[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 726876, member: 18225"] Most of the trucks in my center are old-school manual steering. All of the tiny 'scooby' Air Driver trucks are automatic steering, as well as the 700's. 95% of the 800's, 1000's, and 1200's are manual steering. Out of 100 trucks in my center, there are less than a dozen of the newer automatic/power steering/low step rides. No tellymatics here yet. We have a huge mechanic shop basically on-site, and I've heard through the unreliable grapevine that they send the beasts to our center to die...many, many 350K+ vehicles. I don't mind a workout, so I'm fine with the manual steering dinos. The 800's are the best gym around - this is where the push/pull steering method actually makes sense - not only do you get an arm workout but if you play it right you can get a great abdominal work out as well. I'm not adverse to getting a workout, but I'm immediately bummed when I have to run a 200 stop two-town split in one of the manual beasties. That's when I want a p/s 700, even though it's usually 8lbs of **** in a 5lb bag... [/QUOTE]
