I've recently come back to trucking. Went with CR England for re-training (don't ask). Gave up my cdl in 92 but haven't driven since 89-90. I really miss my old 10sp. I've never drivenin the mountains but learning with the dt12 auto transmission has made me comfortable fast. Never thought I'd be an advocate for an auto tractor but it's made me a believer. If your new to the industry do your research before signing up with any particular company- many unreputable-unreasonable-unreliable companies are waiting for you- Do your research. Back to the point, auto transmission ? If I continue otr driving I'll stay with the auto- but- if I can get local again give me a 10sp- flat lands back home ! Good luck to ya'll
