I'm currently looking for an auto company that'll take me and my dog.

 

Averitt express, Black Horse Carriers have all automatics. 90% automatics at Schneider I believe. Most companies do and if not the entire fleet most can give you an automatic by request.

 

Abilene allows pets. I think there is a $500 deposit or something like that.

 

Actually I think the reverse is true. My tandem dump company hauling local Atlanta is buying all automatics for increasingly "handicapped drivers" and I just laugh when I watch one struggle to go "off road". I consider city driving "severe duty" on an engine/transmission combination and really don't think those Detriot/Paccar engines will last.

If most miles are by highway in top gear only does it really matter who "shifts"? I agree "snow & ice" NO THANKS!

The day is gonna come when nobody can drive a manual at all and our vulnerability to technological ATTACK will be complete!!

 

Might check with Tyson foods see if they hire out of that area I know they have a plant in newholland. They are all autoshift

 

I think Navajo Express has automatics & pet policy; call and ask.

 

Is Calex still automatic or did they switch back to manual? They had a post about ditching the Volvos.

 

That driver hasn't posted again, so I don't know.
