I've never hit anybody.
I've been doing this for almost 30 years.
It's just because you just have to be fully aware of what's going on at all times.
Oh, yeah.
That's been going on for decades now.
I don't drive those trucks.
They do have, they're still sticks.
This is a bit of an interesting trucker culture debate, automatics versus sticks.
And in the process, one of my main critiques, I mean, you want to drive an automatic transmission, whatever, but like the development and the imposition of automatic transmissions into big trucks was done on purpose.
to de-skill the job and get more people behind the wheel.
It may have the fringe benefit now that we've had big truck automatic transmissions for a couple of decades.
Yes, in some cases they get better fuel mileage matched with certain types of engines and that's fine and that's great.
But the imposition of them was not for that.
It was to reduce the barrier to entry into the job and get more people in it who are less skilled and less competent.
And again, you see the results all around you.
It can be.
I mean, part of the reason I wrote this and people say I'm passionate about it and I get worked up about it is that truck driving has been very good to me, right?
It's critical to the economy.
Everything we have here was all delivered by truck.
The industrial processes which make everything involve trucking.
