Who uses Auto Transmissions?

off the top of my head TransAm and Maverick

 

Abilene Motor Express, Richmond Va. 100% Auto's. Whole fleet is a year and a half old with half of that less than a year old.

 

Howard Transportation in Kenly, NC but it's flatbed.

I think Tyson Foods uses automatics.

Some Comcar divisions use autos.

Watkins-Shepard in Concord, NC has some automatics.

Halvor Lines - 4 divisions to choose from: van/reefer/flatbed/decked van.

Tidewater Transit, which is based in Kinston & has several terminals in NC, uses autos. They still have some manuals, but have been moving the entire fleet to autos for a while now. I've been with them a year & a month now, no complaints. Their website is tidewater-transit.com.

 

I remember reading on some web sites that some of the companies that have a mix will offer you to choose. I think that is smart...because someone in dbrober70's predicament can choose auto, and someone like me (HATE autos) can choose manual. Two happy drivers right out of the box.

 

I know that Celedon is slowly converting to automatics, but I don't know if they're giving those to the long time drivers or not.

By the way, thank you for your service

 

My company, Cheeseman, is all autos. We have a terminal in Duncan SC and pull alot out of Kinston NC.

 

USA truck. KLLM. Transam.
