    She is on the road with a mentor atm and wants to run teams with me, but she can only drive an automatic and it seems that they are not willing to train any further. Is this all across the board now? Where should she go to get her manual? I honestly don't want to team for CR.

    If she can't handle a stick, her options are definitely limited.

    Automatics are becoming more and more popular. Most of your larger and even some of the mid-sized companies are transferring to 100% automatic. You can find a manual now, but it's harder to find then only being able to drive an automatic.

    Teach her yourself when its time to team. Take the money hit for a couple weeks and get her an unrestricted license after.

    Nobody will let her in the truck without the license and I don't own a truck.
