Any help please

My tester let me float gears, 22 years ago but she did. I’ve taken lots of guys to get their CDL through the years and I’ve never heard of a single one not being allowed to float gears.

 

Kind of you to help people test JD. Finding a truck to test in took me a very long time. It was easily the biggest roadblock i had.

 

Wasn’t mine, I just rode with other employees to take their test.

 

Some autos have a Romper Room of sorts. A manual shifting paddle. Its manual mode. To wit equipped with a little logic so you don't go forth and turn that into a learning tool. The Rockwell Meritor had the best one for it's time.

 

I floated gears for mine too. I've heard a lot of folks saying they don't let you anymore. Sent a couple guys in to test a couple years back, so I called the exam station before they went, to ask. Examiner I talked to said he didn't care how you shift... if you can handle the truck safely... you can handle the truck.

 

And I bet each time you took the tester their favorite style chicken wings.

As if you don’t make enough money to buy a Porsche, you also bum rides. Typical socialist spending everyone else’s money.

 

Feel the Bern.

 

I think the thing with testing is that is you crunch the gears more than once you fail the test

 

I raked gears a couple times she never said a word, I still rake gears sometimes.

 

My tester let me float gears she didn't mind and I still missed most gears trying to down shift way back when and passed me
