Over 30yrs. W/Class 3license-converted to CDL class A in late 80’s,,,had my share of shifting rigs & still do on occasions.
Being 6’6” is a big reason for the A/T preferred by myself + 2 new partial knees...I like the extra leg room without that tird pedal.
Nearly 5:1 1st gear isn’t bad either,,,you have to learn the A/T to be able to make it perform as well.
