So I went through a CDL school in Wisconsin. The examiner tells me that he puts the paperwork in the system and then I need to go to my home state to get a hard copy of my CDL. I am in Florida, and I went down to the DMV after 3 days of getting tested out and the DMV says they don't have any info on my license. The guy at the DMV asks me if I took the test on a manual or automatic. Doesn't the paperwork state which I took the test on, manual of automatic? Would like to say, "manual", even though I didn't. And yes, I have driven a manual for years but let my license expire.
One thing to note here is that driving a synchronized transmission (like in your car) isnt the same as driving an un-synchronized transmission (like in a big truck)... When I was a CDL instructor, I found it was easier to teach people that DIDNT know how to drive a stick than those that "knew" how...
Ummm, already stated that I know how to drive a manual (5 plus years), so don't know why you felt the need to add this.
Because as I said, a "manual" in a car isnt the same as a "manual" in a truck. You said in your post that you got your license in an automatic. You never clearly said that you have ever driven a manual in a truck, and that would be the reason I added it
Exactly.. they were usually freaked out.. where the people who could drive a stick seemed to think it was going to be easy.. Its easier to train someone, than have to break bad habits and retrain someone.
