please dont start with all the hate on how your not a "real" trucker and learn a stick shift bla bla bla...automatics seem to be the way of the future and all iwant to know is if there is a company that will train for your cdl and put you in an automatic truck. and when school is done you drive an automatic truck? thanks for the replies!

CR England used to have automatics. I teamed with a guy that had never driven anything but an AT. He went through CRE's training and worked there for a few months. Poor bastid...
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend that outfit to anybody...Rubberduckin, Toomanybikes and RYITO1122334455 Thank this. -

TransAm is full auto if you can handle the boss looking you in the face for 11 hours a day.

Its like doing paper logs most your driving career and having to switch to elogs. Once you do you are hooked. Im one of them. I forgot how to do logs on a paper. My brain is not trained to do basic math anymore. I have this dam computer doing everything for me. Heck, it even turns it in for me. No more ruler, calculator, extra log books. Life is good
Yes auto shifts are the thing of the future but untill they phase out manual tranmissions like they did with cars, companies will still buy manuals. And if your not happy at the company that only has autos, well, the company with manuals might not be interested in you. I know if I was an owner and I took some one out on a roadtest and they cant stick it, its a wrap. You arent getting the job. Simplejason6541, Ranger309, akfisher and 1 other person Thank this. -
Being able to only drive an automatic trans...limits your choices...of companies to work for...get the skills and training to drive a straight shift first

Maverick transportation will train you for your cdl and all their trucks are automatics. Don't believe it that you can't start with an automatic and later go to a company without automatics. I did it. Started with Maverick, now with a company driving stick. It's not rocket science.
