Well I thought it would be like a straight 10 but it sure was'nt i tried but could'nt get the hang of it i was only trained on a straight 10 so he said he would try to find a straight 10 for me and that's how we left it. but as a fleet they use super 10.
In the meantime i have been working with another company who was also
willing to hire me.and i leave monday to FT.Wayne <IN.(They have straight 10 transmissions I asked ) i had no idea there was such a thing as a super 10. So i did'nt really quite i never went out on a load or orientation.

This other company is Ficher&Crown out of IN.They pay alot more and they are aware of my situation.So i lucked out.

What kind of driver are you, a super ten and you run, you have got to be kidding. How do you think drivers learn to drive different transmissions, by running away. Hey nevermind, enjoy your ability to know and drive one tranny only.

I had a super ten in one company truck I drove,and in my opinion it was a waste of engineering and time,I hated it.

Are you serious? You quit a company because they had super 10 transmissions? I have heard a lot of reasons why drivers quit companies, but I don't recall anyone mention quiting because of a super 10. :roll:

Just a little versatility is all you need to like a super ten-- put you jake on 2nd or third stage and you will catch the gears 1,2,3, all it takes is imagination.

So please forgive the stupid question. What is so special about a super 10? Heard of them before, but never drove a truck with one.
