Learning on Automatic, will this short change my possibilities?

Experiences vary! I read comments in this forum 9 years ago that told me I wouldn't make much money, and also others that said it was a great opportunity. I took advantage of the fact that they would hire me straight out of CDL school, and I simply planned to work there a year or two and get my experience that I needed for a better job. But here I am 9 years later, working with other drivers who've been here 10, 20, even 30 years, and I'm actually making pretty good money, and the company keeps good new equipment and I was able to move around different accounts to find the account that worked best for myself and family. There were days that I wasn't happy, but life does that to you everywhere.
