    I just left Vegas. Odds are 50 to 1 the op doesn't
    Pull this off. I got a 100 bucks on the op to
    Cover those long odds. Lol.

    Let's think how lucky or crooked this guy is.
    First he does all his training in a automatic,
    Then takes his test in a automatic, and
    Somehow by hook or crook gets his CDL
    Without the auto restriction.

    Then applys for and gets hired for a 80,000
    Grand a year local job simply by lying about
    What he could drive without having to at
    Least do a five minute road test,which
    Would have exposed him for the faud that he is.

    Even bottom of the barrel jobs make you
    Drive around the block a few times just to
    See if you can shift gears.

    This is either one lucky guy or he's paying
    Off the right people.
    The upside is he pulls this off.
    The downside is 10 years in prison for
    Getting hung out of gear and rear ending
    Soccer mom and her 3 kids.

    Could you imagine the firestorm on
    Trucking if something horrible happened
    And some dirt bag lawyer found out this
    Guy never drove a manual, but somehow
    Has no restrictions on his license and
    Got a job without doing the mandatory
    Road test.

    All kinds of heads would roll.
    They would blast that coast to coast
    On the evening news.

    The op still hasn't answered why he doesn't have
    The auto restriction on his license.
    Is this a state by state thing or what.
    I thought if you took the test in a automatic
    They put that restriction on your license.

    Pretty much sums up this 12 page thread. It'll be interesting to see if the OP has the courage to come back here after the fallout tomorrow. I'm curious as to an answer as well on the auto restriction, I still can't believe there even is one

    Believe it's a state thing N.Y. changed it a few years ago and all the guys who had been taking autos for the road test(so they wouldn't have to worry about shifting properly) had to start taking manuels so they wouldn't get a restriction
     
    Offroad1978 Thanks this.
