Shifting

No. But they may help with your arm/hand coordination.
As for your junk in the trunk, stay away from the TS buffets and you'll be fine.....

Okay, I'm done messing with you. Try posting again in the "Questions From New Drivers" section, here-

And to answer your question, you'll be fine. Believe it or not, it's actually better (IMO) to not have much experience with a manual in a car beforehand. It's a lot different shifting a truck than in a 4 wheeler. But rest assured, they will go over it with you. I've actually heard more good things about Prime's CDL school than most if not all the other mega carriers. You'll make it.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

 

It's gonna be hard. Anybody who says it isn't, is trying to ease you the stress. Lol true story

 

Prime is pretty good from what I've read. Check out the motor carrier inside scoop forum there's a whole section about Prime.

Just don't let them put you in a purple truck. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
