This. Better the glass half full than half empty. I am a subscriber to Zacks outlook on life. I love my trucking life!
AmericanPatriot and GraceLives Thank this. -
I don't love driving a truck, but I don't dread it. I do it because it pays well. I wouldn't do it otherwise.

Going to an automatic trucking company as a noob is not a smart idea, that will severely limit your options for better opportunity down the road.
Learn how to drive a stick while you can.
There's a reason why way more starter low paying companies have automatic trucks vs higher paying experienced jobs and it's not for your "comfort" or fuel economy.
You're not truly an experienced truck driver unless you have experience with stick.
Having cheap drivers is the name of the game for most all starter companies.born&raisedintheusa Thanks this. -
How are you?
What you are saying really does make a lot of sense.
Sadly and unfortunately, there may be situations that compels the new driver to take a job with a trucking company that only has automatic transmissions. The companies with manual transmissions may have been all full at the time the new driver applied for those positions.
God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.! -
Once you can drive stick you can always drive stick doesn't matter.

I agree. I drive for transam as company driver. They have quit giving xtra pay and layover pay is difficult to get. The load planners put you on swaps that make you loose money.
