    Just started driving an automatic. I do not like it at all. You can't, well, I can't finesse the ###### thing. Can't grab gears, blah blah blah. And yes, I do know there is an "M" Mode. They are servicing my permanent truck. 10-speed manual. Thank you, Jesus!
     
    Wargames Thanks this.

    That's not what he said. You'll have to figure out a way to get some stick time. There are companies that will train you. I did it in Roswell NM.

    You're welcome. The training wont come cheap, but you'll be able to test out in that truck. And since you already have wheel time,you can concentrate more on shifting.

    There starting to pop up all over. Companies that rent out trucks to take the CDL test in. I'd look there after I got the manual down pat. That might take a friend to do.
     
    swaggerjacker and Wargames Thank this.
