    I've been driving for USXpress and I haven't shifted in years. I've got a road test next week and I'd like to hook up with a driver who can help me shift better. I drove a "Super 10" years ago. The company I'm hoping to go with runs straight 10s and I could sure use some help.

    I'm in Glendale, AZ, is there anyone around here that wouldn't mind helping?

    THANKS

    If you can't find anyone you may want to look into paying by the hour at a truck school or community college in your area. Mine was not that expensive basically covered the cost of the fuel.
