    Greetings, I'll be graduating from NETTTS in Somers,CT long course (6-month program) April/May with CDL-A and I'll be obtaining endorsements including HAZMAT/Tanker, doubles-triples. I have my TWIC. I want to work for a trucking company (or know what companies) who run 13-18 speed manual transmission tractors/trucks hiring (willing to hire new CDL-A truck driver) in Southern New England/tri-state area. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I live in the Hartford county of CT.

    About the only companies in that area that will have manual transmission trucks is going to be logging or related operations.

    I'm under the impression Goulet Trucking inc. out of Mass have manual transmission Kenworth vehicles. In search of more options.

    Heavy haul and cattle haulers are about all that's left with 18s.
