manual is less expencive to repair the gear box than an automatic plus with a manual car licence you can drive both manual or automatic where if you passed in automatic you can only drive auto matic and will have to re take your entire test to drive manual.
and then theres semi automatic normaly found on busses only people with PCV or PSV can drive these viachles
then you got the LGV and HGV with LGV you can drive up to 17 tonne lorry and with HGV you can drive anything that comes under heavy goods.
the guy who pulls the nasa space shuttle to launch has a HGV but american version.
oh and one thing did you know NASA only employs VOLVO lorrys to pull thier most heavy exuipment because american frieghtliner and mack trucks arnt powerful enough.
VOLVO FH16 is the most powerfullest road going truck in the world 16.6 litre V12 with twin supercharges and turbos giving 610 horse power and with out limiter can make 112mph (not with trailer)
the truck is powerful enough to pull almost 320 tonnes and the bigger plant version can carry more also its swedish
