Yes - there are two types used in heavy duty commercial trucks. The first type is a true automatic, with a torque converter. These are primarily made by Allison, and more commonly seen on vehicles operating locally. These transmissions range from 5 to 7 gears. The other type is what's known as an automated manual transmission - the same gearbox as a manual transmission, but the shifter, bumping up the accelerator on downshifting, and the clutch are all automated. These are pretty much exclusive to tractor-trailers which are road bound (off-road units would use the Allison automatic).

You would need to specify which transmission you have.
