Newbie question -manual vs auto at school?

I've read that PAM uses just about all, if not all now, automatic trucks. If I select PAM and am then sent to training school, will I still train in manual?

Does Pam have their own school? If you go to a regular school you'll be shifting.

If I recall right, PAM uses an outside trucking school, then polishes you with a trainer in their trucks. You'll have enough experience to handle a stick, and probably get dumped from PAM for some imaginary sin before you lose the skill.

(I'm not really down on them, but they do have that habit....)
