    I am Catfish and I am a newbie. I start school on the 15th at C1 out of Indianapolis. I am doing this because there are no jobs here that I want, and also it is a life long dream to drive them trucks. It should be interesting because I am diabetic, but it is under control and hovers right around the 200 area and I can't drive a stick, so I am extremely nervous that they will not take me. All I can do is try though, right? Any advice that you can provide would be greatly appreicated. God bless the American Truckdriver and God bless America.

    Welcome to the party! You'll learn how to drive a stick in school! It's not that hard to learn either.

    Yeah. I will be with P.A.M. Trucking and they do, but going through Driver's Solutions and they have sticks. I want to learn since it is a good skill to have.

    Quick edit. I meant P.A.M. Transport. Has been a long day getting everything together for school.
