What do you do if you end up in a residential area? Will police ticket you and does that add marks to your driving record?

Since you constantly hear "driver shortages" for new truck drivers then why dont these companies start offering automatics instead of stick? The older generation of truck drivers are retiring and this would be the perfect time for companies to transition within the next 5 years into all automatics. New jobs would open up for technicians for repairs and maintenance and stopping and going for new drivers would be more focused on. If they are trying to intice younger/new drivers, then a smart move would be to get rid of all the manual stick shifts. Its an easy write off for the companies and easier for you. (for the new drivers) Driving stick must also be a waste of fuel. For uphill or downhill with full load they can install simple switch for grade slopes, still auto.
