    I have almost two years experience OTR, looking to get a job with a LTL company. However I have an automatic restriction on my cdl. Would I need to get it removed first and have experience driving a manual before having a chance at being hired?

    ODFL requires no auto restriction. Others vary. I recently inquired with Saia, and they said it was not an issue.

    Right after I posted this I went to Saia’s website, and saw no mention of restrictions or manual trucks. Thanks for replying, think I’m going to apply for them.

    FedEx Freight will hire with manual restriction. We had a city guy move in from out of state. He had to get the restriction when he redid his CDL test because we do not have any manual trucks to take the test in. I’m sure this may vary by region.

    Same at Dayton Freight. I'm still a little sad about it.
