Should i go to my local CDL school or train through employer.

Most employers are switching to auto only. Depends on what you want to do and what company you want to be with

 

My first company was superior Carriers they weren’t all autos yet they may be now. But most all the gas haulers and cryo in the area were all auto. You may be fine but if you can get in the local school for $1500 or less I think you should take the course

 

The school will try to sway you towards otr but apply for what you want to do. Even before school starts I did I was hired contingent me getting my cdl, endorsements, and school certificate

 

The school I went to offered a refresher course. That might be good for relearning how to jam gears and back a semi.

 

Thought I was in Laredo. Latin background music playing at the china dragon in Taylor?!!

 

You got access to an old ag tractor with manual trans? Typically 4 gears on the trans and a high low rear. Most people say you take off in the gear you want, because theyre unsynchronized transmissions. But you can double clutch and float these with practice. Not much different than a big truck trans.. You can learn the meat and potatoes on one.
