Default Companies with automatic ???

I am interested in becoming a truck driver but i have never even driven a manual transmition car let alone a truck. I am a quick learner and could prob. learn to drive a manual transmition but would prefer automatic. My Question is: Does anyone know of any good companies to work for in the South that have automatic trucks?

To be honest, that is a question you need to ask when you talk to the company you are trying to hire on with.

In the long run,it's a better idea to learn to handle a manual trans because you will find more manuals out there then auto I think.

Also if you go to a trucking school the odds are damn good you will be learning in a truck with a manual transmission.
