My 2 cents on autoshift.
I have been driving for 22 years. There is not a trans a can't drive.
I drive for Averitt and just got a 2007 freightshaker with a auto in it.
I love it. Its the best thing to happen to trucks in a long time.
I have read in trade mags that in about 2 or 3 years you will have to order a truck with a stick.That trucking like cars more drivers want autos.

It'll make it easier for the illegals and rif raf to drive at 35 cpm or less]

 

Just make sure you pick a company that pays good and fairly so you can support yourself or your family.If you pick a company with autos but they screw you every week when it comes to your pay,then I would't think it would be worth driving an auto.Most of your driving is gonna be on interstates anyway.Sure you'll have the occasional parkin' lots,but its really not that big of a deal nowadays.I'm assuming you had manuals in school. IMO, pay and benifits are the 2 big ones.
