    That's very true but US has plenty of Auto's. Werner, the company I'll be starting with, allows drivers to pick which transmission they prefer.

    Genuine answer here. You can be trained on about anything. That is when you go through different skill test.

    Even if you train now on a manual, I don't think you will be in it long enough to get in on my comp case for
    " high range knuckle " compounded with " splitter thumb ".

    I use my expression finger for the splitter, not the tip, the sides. I think we have a poll in the making.

    I used the side for awhile when mine was just aching awhile back. The tendons or ligaments on the sides were killing me.
