Discredited for driving autoshift trans?
Thinking of going to Transam but worried if my experience will be discredited because of the automatics they have. I want to do LTL line haul loads eventually. Will these and any other future companies hold this against me?
Thanks for any input.

Have you driven a standard before (more than just in school)? If you have OTR experience in a manual, the auto won't affect you.

You might want to think about starting out at a company that runs manual trans just so you can get the experience. Why limit yourself later down the road?

You'll be fine as long as you only ever work for a company with autoshifts.. ie newbie companies that view drivers as **** they have to deal with.
You go to a company with 2 years experience and then mention youve only driven autos theyre going to politely wish you luck and suggest you come back in a year when you have experience. |
