Problem: Redbank Transport is a family-owned, 65-truck fleet that specializes in moving aggregates throughout the tri-state area of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. According to co-owner Dave Jackson, inclement weather can be especially difficult for driver and truck. “We do a lot of off-road work,” adds Jackson, “and a lot of the time we are trying to get into a place where it just rained all night. It can get quite soft.”Solution: Jackson has been a longtime proponent of automated manual transmissions, and first experimented with the design in 2012 to help satisfy his maneuverability, fuel efficiency and driver comfort requirements.
