Episode #086:

Where do you put your foot down with clutches? Manual or Automatic? Preferences drivers?

So, with their normal elegance and grace, our rabble rousers began today’s show with something that only they understood. So, they had to explain what the term "Chicken-Pants" means and where it came from. Why, you might be asking yourself? Well, because that is how these two roll.

So, once they got that out of their systems, which took a little bit of time. They got on with the show, which was about transmissions and preferences, not Chicken Pants.  So, the two of them definitely have their preferences and have driven both manual and automatic semis'.

They give an honest talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both types for companies as well as owner-operators.  You would think it is a no-brainer, but it is not an easy answer.

While they inform you about the changes over the years and the perks of each.  All the while really getting into the discussion about shifting gears, they still manage to keep the humor, the stories, and the chemistry very high.

And as always, they hope you enjoy the show! So, if you like this episode and have your own story to tell, then don’t forget to go to Formerly known as twitter to continue the conversation!
