Just out of school, going with PTL, but one concern...
Hey there guys and gals, this is my first post on the forum (Woohoo!) and I have a question:
I'm fresh out of driving school (TDI Richburg, SC) and prior to school the only experience I had with a manual transmission was on my motorcycle. I did just fine all through school learning to shift, in fact it only took me about an hour before I was fairly confident in my abilities. My question is, PTL (from what I hear) has all automatic trucks, and if I go to work for them, and lose my skill driving a manual, will other companies refuse to hire me? I don't want to screw myself by going with a company with automatics if in the long run it will hurt my career...
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated, Andrew

Thanks Old School, you really put my mind at ease there. I'm looking forward to kicking ass on my CDL test which is Thursday, and hopefully I'll be shipping out to orientation on Sunday evening. I'll try to keep you guys updated.
