    Impossible and I'll put my 13 speed and skill against any auto trans anytime. You dont know me, but I'm more consistent than that auto eatting a sandwich. Your talking out a hole to people that know better.

    Cuz you wrong . I defended my statement manuals are headed into the stone ages . Even little 5 truck fleets are buying autos . Just helping new drivers see pass the super trucker owner operators who spend every weekend under a truck fixing something netting 60k a year before taxes and with no health insurance.

    question for you
    What was the reason you think they decided to make a restriction on cdl for automatics only? I want an honest answer why you think there was a restriction finally

    Because they didn't test in a manual so they can not prove you have the ability to shift. I mean what else would be a reason?

    It is a new restriction for past couple of years. So no thats not the reason. If that was the reason, then it would b the same for cars. You just proved you have no idea the dangers of idiots not knowing how to drive a manual truck.

    Well you go get yourself one, that you own, operate, and maintain. Then tell me you know better. Then get you some years of fleet maintenance and wrench on them. I'll listen to you then.

    Btw, I double clutch. It's the only rightway.

    driving an automatic? the automatic restriction is to keep the idiots in an automatic and keep them out of a manual where they cant kill someone because they dont have the brain capacity to safely navigate a manual down a steep grade or etc. Im thinking you should have that restriction becuase you dont comprehend
