nothing wrong with that, definitely requires less skill.

I have one of each, the auto (mine is more like an smg, I can elaborate if anyone is interested) is much nicer to drive around town and in traffic, but the real unsynchronized manual is more satisfying, puts it power down better, has more gear options, and is FAR more reliable

MT is fun, but imagine that x3, trucks have 18 gears or whatever. Lot harder, esp when this is your job

Penske Truck Rental also has a lot of trucks with auto transmission.
At least the 22-24' ones were available with stick shift till a year or so ago.
