    Yeah my school has New York and New Jersey students they use 6 speed for the New York testing. I did drive a 10 speed twice with New Jersey drivers though to get familiar with it.

    Right hand turns 3rd or 4th, left hand 4th or 5th. Keep in mind those are the MAXIMUM gears that SNI recommends you go thru a turn in. The turn itself will dictate what gear you need to be in. If you need first gear USE FIRST GEAR.

    Always remember rule number 2 - DON'T HIT STUFF (rule #1 is keep yourself safe).

    Yep. You can be a little higher empty too. A loaded trailer is way different from an empty one
