Im finding a lot of contradicting info from searching around on weather they have auto shifts or manuals, some say they are moving to all autos some say they are moving to all manuals.
what are the chances of getting an automatic? for training and for an assigned truck alike. Tunnel Hill if that matters at all.
please nobody start an argument on which one is better.
Autoshifts??

The company is going to an all automatic fleet. We still have some trucks that are 10 speed and 8 speed. Around the middle of 2014 is when they started going to automatic. I highly recommend everyone embrace the automatic trucks cause the manual ones have a lot of miles and will probably have issues.
Options:
Manual truck and on breakdown a lot
or
automatic and making money
Choice is yours
Shortthouse Thanks this. -
Our company makes you drive test in a manual and issues you a auto shift.

Also when you go with a trainer is that also a auto or does it just depend on the guy -
@DC843, they're forgiving. Regarding trainers truck.....it's whatever they have. Like I said, most of the fleet is automatic. High probability it will be a Cascadia and not the Peterbilt.

Yeah I learned on a manual in CDL school a 10 speed, and I grind gears but I can do it well enough to pass my CDL test so im sure ill be fine with this one. I was just mostly concerned with having a manual assigned to me when I go to first seat status.
Now is that a rule that you test in manual or can you sometimes get an auto for that too? cause I know ive seen a few people saying they tested in an auto but idk. -

The Cascadias now have Detroit DT12 Autoshifts, they are really amazing transmissions and do quite well, however USX has done some software mods to theirs that kinda worry me a bit
