No, at least, not unless it's something they've just started. When I drove for them, I operated ten speeds, nine speeds, and 13 speeds. They also had some Super Tens in their fleet at the time, which had come from turned in lease/purchase trucks from MS Carriers.
If you're just starting off, you really need to get experience in a manual truck. The unsynchronised transmissions of Class 8 trucks are much different from what you find in a passenger car, and if your only experience with them is what you learned in driving school, you don't have enough experience to be proficient with them. Drivers who start their careers in companies such as US Xpress, PAM Transport, and others which use automatics often find themselves at a disadvantage when they want to go drive for a different company, and that company doesn't use automatic trucks.
