Hello everyone, I'm completely brand new to this forum. But I had a question reguarding Automantic semi's. I know for a fact that US-xpress has an all automantic fleet. I was wondering if there's any other company like that? I think interstate (sp) has them also those big green trucks. Just looking at there website.

I know the veteran's will say learn on stick first, so before we get into a whole 89page lecture on that. I have driven stick before. I just prefer automantic that's all. I know lots of people would disagree, some would agree.

But anyway, just wondering if any new other companies that did Full automantic at there company like Us-xpress. thanks for taking the time to read this. drive safe.

Okay....

Now when you mention you have driven stick before...do you mean in a car, or in a big truck? Totally different animals here, and if you're considering a career in this industry, for more than a year or two, you will HAVE to know how to drive one!

Now, if you DO have experience driving non-syncronized trannies, but prefer otherwise...

I think PAM, Stevens transport, US-Xpress...that's all I can think of at the moment.... 8)

Yes, I've driven an 18 wheeler before, as a company driver. The normal 10 speed, that is most commonly used. I just prefer the automantic that's all. But thank you for taking the time to respond.

Sorry, it might not happen here, the last forum I was on...someone changed the subject and 80 something pages later. Someone replied back what was the orignial question? Dude why are you responding to something that's 2years old, and blah blah blah.

That's all. Didn't mean to ruin your fun. Just wanted a serious answer that's all. Thanks for your input though.
