Automatics for Training?

Never said I currently had two...

I said that I had one issued from Florida and then one issued from North Carolina.

Only had one at a time.

Edit: my intended point was that our CDLs are issued by the States not the Federal Gonvernment and I used my two personal examples. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Plenty of Dry/Reefer companies out here that use autos... The company I drive for has both Dry/Reefer and are 100% Autos and 100% no touch... They also have a Post CDL In House training program... Abilene Motor Express.

Jump back on that horse and do a bit of refresher training... Then you will be back in the saddle and running hard in an Auto.

Stay Safe,

Ya gotta be careful, it doesn't take much to confuse me!

 

So noted... But to be honest, it seems I do a good job of muddying the waters myself.

Cheers,

Manuals wont go away,... BUT most companies are going autoshift. You are limiting yourself THAT much. There are a ton of companies that have the autoshift. If you like autoshift ,great,.. if you don't stop your #####ing.

 

Many companies are going to automatics, not autoshifts. Autoshifts are complete crap!

 

Some of the new ones ARE called autoshifts. Not my choice in words,...some companies with new trucks.

 

An actual automatic that calls itself an autoshift, that's NOT an auto shift trans? News to me but very confusing for people that have driven both.
