Schneider Automatics?

Teams get everything new, all new trucks are autos. Senior drivers will be the first to get autos in the solo world and that will probably be distributed somehow between OTR, regional and dedicated.

 

All megas are most likely. The leading cause for accidents is distracted driving followed by shifting errors. Just like everything else in the world its being dumbed down for our less fortunate generations coming up.

 

Hey, I'm not trying to discourage you. They are a good place to start. Autos are a fact of life we all will deal with as company drivers. You most likely won't deal with one unless you go team. I recommend giving them a fair chance and you will not be disappointed.

 

If a brand new truck is available when you onboard and are assigned , thats what you get. It aint about seniority or not. Its what is available at that time.

 

If you are looking wanting to drive a 10 speed, look at dedicated positions. Plenty of manuals there. Not many older than 3 yrs or so. There are some exceptions though.

 

I have no problem driving new automatics LOL. Here at Marten, I demanded it haha
