This applies even with the new regulations. Get a new CDL permit, learn how to drive manual (of course), then take the CDL exam. Okay, so what’s the loophole?
You only have to take the road test portion, and you can take it in a Class A or Class B vehicle, AND you can even do it as a Bobtail.
You may have to pushback on some examiners if they don’t know the rules, but this is an actual fact. Just thought I’d share.

So just how does one get around this requirement?
(2) The person must pass a driving or skills test in accordance with the standards contained in subparts F, G, and H of this part taken in a motor vehicle that is representative of the type of motor vehicle the person operates or expects to operate; or provide evidence that he/she has successfully passed a driving test administered by an authorized third party.
A bobtail isn't representative of a class a vehicle....Rollr4872, tscottme, flood and 1 other person Thank this. -

as mentioned in #3, just take the class, and tests in a stick shift truck. all this nonsense of so many that only want to drive automatics, is taking a huge bite out of thier butts (and wallets) to retest.
if the school one goes to ONLY has automatics?
seek out another school.
yeah, simple to say i know, but then again, it ain't my problem if anyone has any restrictions.
i think it's called the dumbing down of America, where so many want an easy way into something. -
