[QUOTE="underworked1, post: 2194455, member: 60051"] Manual transmission does create a couple safety issues. Roll aways and not having both hands on the wheel. The ability to have two hands free allows you to use your horn in a dangerous situation while steering at the same time. If ups truly cared about safety vs profits we would all be in an automatic and you know it. But that costs money...so they will limp them old trucks to the grave to avoid the overhead on replacements. EDIT: with that being said, we all had to do it and it's a good test in driver school because if you can't drive and be distracted by shouting out methods and shifting, then you can't drive and look at house numbers and be under commit time pressures.
