Cdl B driver getting a CDL A license

Your cars synchronizers must love you then...
Last transmission I worked on had been rebuilt just a year prior, took it apart and the syncros were shot.

Owner said "well I float, but I never grind so its okay.. must be a bad rebuild"

The facepalm was real.

 

Lol it was for a short time. I quite literally couldn't figure out why I couldn't shift. So floated it home. Only when I got close to the house I realized that my problem was that I wasn't pushing the clutch more than a half inch in when shifting

 

So basically, the DRIVING SCHOOL won't let you learn on a manual because you've never driven a manual and might hurt the truck... What?? That is their job to teach you. Get your money back and take it to a school that will actually train you. That's ridiculous.

You will regret having a restriction on your license. I have a friend who got his class A but with auto and 5th wheel restriction. Soo he pretty much can't do a thing with it if he ever leaves his current job. I warned him not to limit himself like that and now 3 months later, he's pissed that he didn't listen. NY/NJ doesn't have many options for decent schools but there are schools that will actually train you in a manual.
