    From what I understand, many companies will NOT use automatic transmissions at all, only manuals.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Now the guaranteed pay is not on week leaving from hometime....so run hard that week to use hours so you don't have to run as hard 2nd week and get the guarantee...their safety incident policy is different than any other carrier out there....and in orientation they are straightforward on this is how we run and they are straight forward on telling you that...they don't sugar coat things and bs you like other carriers to get you to drive for them

    Melton only gets automatics now, there are still 10 speed manuals in the fleet, but when they are to replace them, they will be replaced with autos.
    Only million milers get to chose.

    K&b only has 3 auto trucks, the rest are manuals and there not going to all auto. Also if you like the truck your in you can keep that truck till you can't drive anymore.
