    Hello Drivers!

    I have about 14 months OTR experience and a clean driving record. The first 8 of those months were on manual trans and the rest on auto trans. I prefer the auto trans because it helps my knees and shoulder which could be in better shape.

    I currently have all my belongings in storage and live on the road. I am from the Atlanta area but MAY want to move to Nashville in about a year, not sure yet. I am looking to do maybe another year OTR and then do regional, short or whatever.

    Looking for a good company that has dry-van with auto trans... time at home is not super important right now (single). Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the tip... I checked with them and they would start me out at .32/mile which is about what I make now. Would prefer to increase to at least .34 or better if I'm gonna go through a change of employer. There's a few companies that would pay me .36-.38/mile that I've talked to but they're not auto.
