    Automatic :

    TransAm
    Maverick
    Nussbaum
    Averitt
    Interstate Distributors (drive4us.com) choice of auto or manual

    Two companies with oil field trucks: (must call to ask)

    FFE (driveffe.com)
    Schneider

    Hopefully some other drivers can contribute more.

    Last I heard, most companies are phasing them out. Schneider is one, plus an auto on your driving history doesn't look good. I know it's something most can't forget, but companies think otherwise.

    I don't se what the big deal is about someone wanting to driver an automatic truck. Didn't know there was a personal criteria or standard to meet, to be a respected driver.
