Are mining dump trucks automatic?

[Samuel Flores]

Hey,

Are mining dump trucks automatic? I’ve seen some massive haul trucks in mining operations and was wondering if they use automatic transmissions or if they’re still manual. How does the transmission type affect performance and efficiency on the job?

Hey, from my time on mining sites, most modern haul trucks are automatic — makes it smoother for operators and keeps production moving efficiently.
