Considering trucking - but ony want to drive automatic.

You are correct but I was not trying to be toooooooo technical.

 

Hehe, no big deal! I graduated from college with a degree in Heavy Equipment Technology, so sometimes my mechanic side surfaces and likes to get a little technical.

Let me tell you what though, taking apart a transmission that is synchronized is about a thousand times less stressful than our nice twin countershaft Eaton's.

 

I shifts are the best. Especially for fuel.

 

mmm countershaft eatons....

 

I love my iShift!!!

 

They have both, if you really want a manual, just tell tractor assignment you feel unsafe in an automatic. Or tell em just the opposite. Safe is a 4 letter word thier, and it works.

 

The very existance of swift throwing chain on a ice upgrade a mile above chainup pull out should be a clue...

 

Are you in North Carolina? If so, lots of good team companies hire from there. Here's a few and you can call and ask about the automatics:
WLA Inc.
Abilene Motor Express - has auto's
Hardy Bros. Inc.
Inman Trucking Co.
Freymiller
Covenant Transport - need hazmat endorsement
Navajo Express
