[QUOTE="fedx, post: 2670095, member: 64891"] Manual tractors also have crash avoidance, auto braking, lane alert. The reason they are going to automatics is because they get slightly better mpg with electronic shifting and you multiply that by thousands of trucks and it means more profit in the company's mind. Also, I read somewhere UPS wants automatics so their drivers can concentrate on just driving-making it safer. FedEx is also switching to all automatics. The automatics are a lot slower getting going from a stop compared to a stick though. [/QUOTE]
