missing something
I think those sites are great and provide a lot of information, but i think there is something missing.
I would like to see companies listed as either having AUTOMATIC shift trucks or MANUAL shift trucks.. Especially now that schneider is going 100% fully automatic begginning 2007. But it took me too much researching time on the internet to find that out.. gave me a dam headache.. I base my decision HIGHLY on which "shift" a company uses. And personally i favor AUTOMATICS because they are so much safer and easier.

there was a site where you could practice backing using your computer keyboard. I saw the link to it on here, but cant find it now. maybe someone else knows of one.
I would like to find a reference book for all the mechanical stuff - airbrakes and so forth especially what you might see on a license test
