AutoShift Trucks?
Which companies use autoshift trucks? Ive heard Averitt gives them to their new drivers and Choctaw (part of PAM) only uses autoshift.

No, I don't want to hear complaining about not driving a stick

at Roehl's orientation, they said they may still have two auto-shifts, and they were on the way out.

I know you were after who *does* use auto-shifts, but I thought mentioning companies that are actively against them, may help, too.
