Unless the company (yes you Marten) has disabled the “manual” option in your auto-trans, you can choose a gear you want and it stays there until you change it. There’s some pretty cool features to an auto-trans, if you explore them instead of just letting it do its thing. Make it work for YOU. Me? I’ll choose a manual over an auto-trans when I can

No you don’t pull over on the side of the road, you PLAN your time. You don’t drive exactly that amount of hours, you just can’t drive more than those hours. So if there is a truckstop, etc near the end if your drive shift, you park THERE. It’s all about planning your trip. If the only safe parking for your 10-hr break is 9 hrs into your drive time, then you park it. Common sense 101
