    Definitely apply to Climate Express. I have been there over a year now. We don't have any manuals in the fleet but you're in a good spot living in Scranton. Another guy was in the same orientation class as me, and he was out of a truck 4 years. He didn't even have to do a refresher course. He's still with us too. If you don't mind me asking, do you know why Freymiller turned you down?
     
    JForce28 Thanks this.

    I worked at Freymiller briefly in 2017 and quit without notice so they told I was not eligible for rehire which I understand.

    They have both, they will give you an option after orientation, if you need a refresher, you will go out for 50 hours drive time with a mentor and and they will give you a truck with a manual or auto when you finish time with your mentor
