We have all autos but my truck is a 10, don't know why they haven't given me one. But i enjoy the shifting it keeps me strong in that area. I can still do a three point getting in out of a truck.

If you pass a DOT physical, you will likely need to drive with a CDL automatic restriction.
If you can grip and support some weight while climbing into the cab of a truck, then your chances are good. If you can't, then you are an accident waiting to happen if you ever drive in conditions cold enough to see ice, and i would suggest staying away from full size trucks for your own health.
However, I have recently heard that Schneider actually has a program for non-CDL straight trucks. I know no details about the requirements to enter that division of Schneider, but some non-CDL straight trucks might be safer for you to get into and out of. -
I can shift and
Farmerbob1 and G13Tomcat Thank this.
