I'll tell ya.......
I used to dread the thought of Elogs until I got them. Now I wouldn't want to go back. I used to dread the thought of not being in control of the shifting duties but I wouldn't want to drive any other way.
I drive local now in the Dallas area. Going around 635 two to four times a day. I love the automatic in my Mack (hate the truck though). I had to drive a 10 speed rental for a month and cursed the shifter daily...haha! That being said hiring an automatic only CDL holder is like getting a half-asser from the get-go. There's enough half-assers already!

Once had a kid who came from CR England (and only learned on automatics) who came to my hazmat company and promptly rolled a tanker because he couldn’t regulate speed in a turn. -

You lose traction in a manual and you can get it back. Lose traction in an automatic and you're screwed. -
New driver told me...Crete recruiting told him..to get automatic only on his license..that way he would be sure to get a new truck
-
Trainer I know...couldn't roadtest a new driver...because driver had automatic only on his license...and trainers truck was manual
