Where can I rent a Class A 10 speed to practice on?

Probably your best bet would be to find a school that will teach you on one of there trucks. From what I understand it's quite difficult to rent a tractor if your not a business or already have a business relationship with places like Penske, or Ryder. Plus most of there fleets are probably already all automatic.

Maybe try Brody transportation in Baltimore, they were a smaller outfit we used to rent tractors from years ago.

 

go for it. i worked at both Penske and Ryder as a shuttle driver. they simply do not rent to non-owner operators or companies...in other words no individuals.

 

If you have the auto only restriction you aren't legally allowed to drive the vehicle you rent except on private property. A CDL school is likely the only one that help you.

 

You tested in a manual?

 

Oh, that's different, lol. This question, or it's variations get asked quite a bit by people that have never driven a manual, so I think everyone thought you fell into that category.

Now I don't have an answer for you, but this info might bring new answers to the thread from people that do have an answer.
