    Not so much train, You will find yourself a much greater asset to pucker up, grow a pair and learn manuals too. Trust me on this.

    Why do you wan't to get into trucking if you don't like driving?

    People that like driving love manuals.

    I went to school and passed on a manual, but the recruiter placed me with PAM in an automatic. It does make life easier for a noob, but it's true it will limit you. It will depend on what your goals are. Obviously if you stayed with PAM, it wouldn't matter.

    I was a wild cat for a long time, the only two megas I run with was the old FFE and JBH towards the end of my years. The rest was in fleets of less than 1000 trucks with a few regional exceptions.
