automatic or manual, team or solo for a newbie

Will be dependant upon who hires you...
sleeping in a moving truck..
sharing a 10 or less squarefoot living area+bunk (upper not used in motion), and not beaing able to walk into a truck stop to use restroom/shower/eat cause you are in a truck moving (hopefully) 22 hrs a day was not for me...so i am solo.
most companies (outside the ones that pairs newbies together ((think underpaid team))) that do run teams usually try to have husband/wife teams...living so close together, 24 hrs a day can make that hard for some...

 

Learn on a manual. Only team with people you know and trust. Enough said.

 

Go solo and a manual, nuff said

 

Yeah.. nuff said on team unless wife or someone you know.

You are more marketable being able to drive a manual. You could always walk into an auto someday after driving manual, but not the other way around.

 

Way to be descriptive OP.

Manual for what...Manual to learn on, or are you talking about going to a company that only has manuals?

I personally hate automatics. And I hate people so running teams is out of the question.

 

Since the OP is "still in truck driving school", I would assume he is talking about choosing a company... He has already chosen a school

LOL, Agreed!

 

Manual, definitely. Preferably 13 or 18. 9 and 10 absolutely s**k in the mountains.

And ALONE. Although there will probably be a time initially with a trainer.

I REFUSE to ride with ANYONE, if I can avoid it. Been in 5 wrecks in my life. NEVER was the one driving. That cured me over 35 years ago.

Best of luck (skill actually) to you.

 

Manual, 10,13, or 18.
