Is there a such thing(12 speed)?
 
Is there a such thing as a 12 speed? And how is it shifted? Its a 05 International Day Cab.

yes, meritor freedomline.

It's a fully automated "two pedal" transmission.

Ok here is the thing I'm going for this local deal and she thought they were 12 speeds but was not sure, so 12 speed only comes in auto 2 pedal deal? How does it work?

Is this an employer who doesn't know this?

Well I guess she kinda is a recruiter in a way and they just picked this truck up so she didnt know much about it.

1 gas pedal, 1 brake pedal. Selector switch on the dash or in a console in between the seats. Push "d" then press the gas pedal. The motor will automatically decrease the rev's of the motor and perform a shift. Alternatively you can also force a down shift. That could be done for a traffic light or a hill. Some Drivers love it, some hate it. I have not had the opportunity to try one out for more than a few minutes.
