    As I'm looking to get back into the game, I'm looking for regional or national companies that use trucks with automatic transmissions. When I drove couple years, few years back, it was in one of these.
    Thanks in advance!

    Nick Strimbu Inc. in Brookfield has regional lanes. Call and ask about the transmissions. They're also Teamsters Union.
    Refrigerated and flatbed divisions.

    Virtually all of them have autoshift. The question really is the opposite. Which company still uses manuals?

    I would look into Cox Transfer. I worked there for a few years before moving to Iowa, pretty good outfit. Autos, midwest regional, home weekends, etc. though if you have been out of the game for years then i’m not sure what that would do to your hire-ability .

    Remember not to ever test with your State in a auto truck. Many will put in non manual restrictions on your CDL if you tested in the state CDL test with just a auto.

    Autos are very nice in some areas when set up right, but to retain the ability and skills to run a manual makes you more hireable.

    Schneider... they only buy auto's there teams are guaranteed autos and solo's have the choice of either... manual trucks are the old trucks so if you pick auto you get a newer truck
