    I might not have my 'man card' after I ask this question but I will ask anyhow. Which companies use mainly (or all) automatic transmissions out there?
    Thanks in advance!

    You won't have your man card revoked, don't worry about that.

    If you go with an auto hopefully you won't have any bad luck with it.

    My auto freaked out and got stuck in neutral in the middle of an intersection yesterday. I'm going back to a manual truck today. I don't feel comfort with a computer controlling my gears anymore.

    Us xpress autos are actually rare now.

    Hell, I may check into auto companies if I can get my fiance to get her cdl.
