anyone train and run on full automatics??

Exaggerate much sir?

So, the very essence of this profession is driving around all day every day with your right hand on your stick...

Guess I missed that day in CDL School.

 

Don't know if Nick Strimbu Inc. has auto's or not; call and ask. They do have cdl training and it's Teamsters. They're in Brookfield,OH.

 

That's rich. I love it.

 

I'm sorry but satisfied with $500 a week that's what the depresses wages in this industry... that's the last thing we need

 

I teamed for a bit with a driver who had never driven a manual rig, (even in a four wheeler.) All I can say is thank God we were running the Midwest, and not the mountains. He did eventually learn to shift, but I had not realized that I would have to be a trainer, when I signed on. He was a good guy, just inexperienced.

 

Not in Texas

 

You're wrong... Here's the list of restrictions... Automatic transmission is one of them..

Doesn't matter. I was literally at the DMV today to take my test. It was people up there testing on 20 foot automatic flatbeds. Got a CDL with no restrictions
