    Any Florida hiring companies with ??

    automatic tranny (bum left knee)
    apu on board
    rider policy (girlfriend on rare occasion)
    and for gods sakes something shorter than a month with a trainer (no thanks windy hill)
    I'll add Im 100% drug free and spotless background

    Im sure I'll pay my dues for admitting to loving/needing automatics sue me, but I need a company that has those above , Im again looking to decide this within 7 days on who to go with

    oh yeah I have 3 months exp OTR


    all info is greatly appreciated in advance

    I don't know how long their training is, but maverick runs automatics. They are primarily flatbed and since your knee is in bad shape I doubt you want to mess around with that, but they have other divisions; reefer, dry van, and I think they have started messing around with tankers (I'm not sure).

    Their pay is decent and from what I've heard their home time isn't bad either. They might be worth calling for some more info.

    More and more companies are going with automatics so that should not be a problem. And rider policies are easy to find. In fact, your girlfriend can ride with me anytime.

    Bum knee, you only need the clutch when taking off and stopping. Do not need it to shift..
    Auto lovers.. what are you going to do when you need a job that has a real tranny and clutch

    Don't know about the rider program, but some companies with automatics or at least some of their trucks have automatics, are: Comcar, TransAm, Howard Transportation.
