    Been off the road for two years and only have 1 experience prior to that. I wanna get back on the road with a refresher but having trouble finding companies that still use manual transmissions.

    I live in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I just applied at Freymiller but was turned down so looking for other options.

    I think this company gives drivers a choice of manual or auto.

    Western Express will hire you. Don't know if they have any manual transmissions left in the fleet though.

    Appreciate the leads Chinatown. You are the man. I’ll definitely check them all out and post on this thread how I made out.
