Little help! Hey can I get one of those autos. I'm plum tuckered out from shifting and clutching. Left knee is shot and I can't open my right hand at the end of the day.
-
28 years will do that. Both my knees are shot.
You drive an automatic, rig-a-mortis will set in.
okiedokie Thanks this. -
Double clutching is so stupid. If you MUST use a clutch "float" it out and use the clutch to put it back in. But double clutching is just obnoxious.
-
You get into one of our trucks for a road test and can not do it, see ya. Kiss that high 5 figure a year job goodbye.
-
Road test vs everyday 'get it done" driving are two very different styles of driving. Sure some like double clutching, others don't. My preference is the float. No big deal.
-
Well making statements like dc is stupid. Of course you will get called out. What did you expect.

If the cdl testing center had a manual truck to test in I would have failed at least on the road test. Maybe that's not a bad thing. I want to know so much no one would let me go. I can get going in a ten speed. Hills and down shifting need time and practice ideally without causing major damage to the truck. For now a have my application and paperwork in with maverick waiting for a response. Thank you for the Transport national recommendation I'm going to look into it. I'll work hard and try to make some money no matter what I do just like everyone else. Thankyou for the responses
