    First I would go get a DOT physical. You'll probably need a doctor's 'mother may I" to get considered anywhere.

    If the doc clears you to drive you may have a bit of an uphill battle, but I think your chances of getting hired greatly increase.

    Schneider, US Xpress, and Swift would probably be the easiest to get on with. Their new trucks should be all autos by now.

    A lot of companies are going towards autos lately. You shouldn't have any problems finding one that fits for you.

    I think Abilene may be making the switch (someone can correct me if I'm wrong)
    They're a highly touted company on this site.

    Swift is so difficult to get ahold of anyone

    Here's a recruiters direct line. Her name is Dawn.
    Really though Swift is not a place I think you'd want a contract.

    That was a Swift recruiters direct line. I'd be wary of Swift though. Seems like now is not a good time for the company.

    I've also heard that about TransAm too, @Sipesh
