True your right

 

Where at?

 

Are you sure your contract doesn't provide for a specific number of retests? Any school that charges you an additional fee to retest after the first fail is taking you for a ride, IMHO.

 

Watch youtube videos and study it. Practice sittinf in a chair, use a water bottle as a shifter and move left leg like ur working the clutch. And work on the rythm of it . then when u get in the truck take that same rhythm and match it to the rpms and it will all start to fall in place.

 

R. E. West Transportation has a cdl program that's free and no contract to sign.
I think you're on salary until you acquire the cdl, then get regular truck driver pay after hitting the road.

Why? Do you feel that having such a restriction makes you any less of a truck driver? I am not trying to bust your chops, just trying to get you to understand a CDL with this restriction should not affect your earning potential. I counsel taking stock of where you are and work toward where you want to be. Not everybody was born a Trucker. Some of us had fathers who were. My father taught me how to operate a manual tranny using the "fist" system. If I scratched a gear I got hit. Sounds horrible, however since his death in 1997 I have come to cherish those memories. Slow down, one step at a time. If in the future you are offered a job with a carrier that uses manuals, be honest about that restriction and see if they will spend some time helping you learn the fundamentals of operating a manual. If they want a driver bad enough they will work with you, if not go back to operating an auto-shift!
