I have a class A cdl. It tempts me. Auto trans and gps it might be fun for a few months. All my trucks are manual. I would not like a solid diet if that. My first dump truck also had a 3 speed brownie. Took a he man to drive that beast. Only time I experienced a total loss of air in traffic. Not fun. That and blowouts take the fun out of things.
