Royal trucking company, West Point, MS. This is the company i'm with. I started in a 9400 with cummins/10 speed. all new trucks are prostar with maxcrap/auto. they just took the last 9400 off the road, all company drivers are in prostar's now

US Xpress has some, not all. When I spoke with the recruiter he could not guarantee that we would get one out of orientation. Trans Am is the only company I could find that has all automatics and would hire us down here (SW Florida). I think you pretty much have to buy or lease your own truck to get an automatic.

dart transportation has all autos so i am told.

I currently drive for Britton Transport from Grand Forks, ND. Not sure if entire fleet is autos, but all the newer trucks are. They are volvos with the 12 speed auto.

I don't think anyone even makes automatic transmissions for class 8 tractors. Auto-shift, yes. Automatic, no. Huge difference.
RickG Thanks this. -
I thought auto shift had a clutch and automatic, no clutch. my truck has no clutch. has a box with buttons on it
r- reverse
n-neutral
d-drive
l-lowest possible gear(computer controled)
m- manual
^-shift up 1 gear
v-shift down 1 gear
trucks are set up to start in 2nd gear, will drop to 1st if you lug in 2nd
there is an older volvo that a local driver has, it has a clutch for stopping and changing direction, shifting is automatic -

Commodore Express in LaVerne, TN is all autos. Teams running west coast. They pair drivers up in the Volvos.
