I did think of that, I looked on indeed, and saw is that the dock worker positions in my area are part time, I can’t work part time
Guess I need to give up my dream of getting my CDL

What about working part time in the dock to driver program and part time elsewhere? You do realize you will be out of work without income or a severely reduced income for 4-6 weeks during most CDL training programs as they usually are all day/week long events. Even if you went with company sponsored training at a mega carrier, they barely pay you enough to eat while in training, so you need to have money saved up for bills and such before ever even starting classes. -
Try Mister P in Jeffersonville,IN.I talked to them the other day they have their own school and will test you out in a manual transmission.

This thread doesn't make sense; throw away a very lucrative career because you only want a certain type transmission?
Tombstone69, Sirscrapntruckalot, CK73 and 4 others Thank this. -
Or just get the cdl with the restriction, bank some cash, make some connections, and finding a truck to test out in will be child's play.
Or continue to screw yourself.brian991219 and Chinatown Thank this. -
FFE trains with a standard and the school is free if you drive 1 year with them.
Most of their fleet is automatic, but you wont have the restriction.
I would just start driving and worry about the transmission later. -
drumchaos and brian991219 Thank this. -
after I squire a full CDL, I don’t care if my truck is auto, manual, or self driving, I don’t want my options limited
-
Save your cash and do it how you want.
Newsflash:
That's how the world works. -
When I drove for a big box store for many years, the company policy stated that you were allowed to train and test for a cdl in their truck, I had a class A permit at the time, and got to drive a couple times, I hounded them for years to put me on the semi full time, so I could train, and they never did
I don’t wanna get passed up for a future job because of a stupid restriction that shouldn’t be there to begin with, you should not be allowed to test in an automatic
