    Right now I work for a beer distributor who helped me get my Class A. Now I've been driving over a year I have been peaking around at other driving gigs but I have never drove anything besides their automatics. Any ideas or advice on how to get some experience on a manuel transmission?

    Thanks in advanced.

    No, I tested with an automatic. Unless I'm mistaken, but they never told me I had a restriction and my license doesn't say anything. (I'm from Iowa by the way)
