    Okay so I got my cdl. Took the test in a automatic but they didn’t put any restriction on my license. Can I drive a manual that means? I looked at everything on the license. Nothing says I have a restriction on my cdl?

    I would not worry about it. However, I have been called a shady character.

    I am because the union wants to hire me. But if I have an automatic restriction I gotta take a month class again for a manual restriction. And start my cdl all over basically. But the union pays for the class. Still I can start work right away if I don’t have a restriction on license.

    I’ll put it like this, I’ve never heard of that of restriction. Then again I’ve never heard of doing a skills test in an automatic either.

    in "some states" (maybe all) the automatic restriction is the letter "E"..??

    look very carefully, both side, again.


    and if the DMV screwed up, it was in YOUR FAVOR, so shutty you mouthy

    E Restriction- No Manual Transmission
    This restriction prohibits the driver from driving vehicles with manual transmissions. You can get this restriction removed by completing the basic skills test and road driving test with a manual transmission instead of an automatic transmission. Don’t take your driving tests with an automatic transmission, the odds of you working for a company that has automatic transmission vehicles is very slim

    5. M Restriction-Passenger Vehicle Or School Bus Only
    The M restriction means the driver possesses a Class A CDL but obtains his or her passenger or school bus endorsement in a Class B vehicle.

    This means the driver will get the “M” restriction so that they are only allowed to operate a Class B or Class C passenger vehicle or school bus.

    So I can only operate a class b school bus or passenger vehicle and nothing else? That doesn’t make sense I should at least be able to drive a class b box truck or something.

    I called the dmv said I drove a manual passenger bus when I took the test and she said I could drive any class b. Hopefully they don’t have in the system that I have a manual restriction. But it says on my Card that I don’t so I am good hopefully.

    YOU obtained the ENDORSEMENT in a class B vehicle. Therefore you drive under that endorsement that specific limitation. You can run a Class B dump truck as the day is long all day because it's not a passenger vehicle. You do hold a Class A for all other vehicles except motorcycles.

    As far as not having a Auto Restriction, keep your big mouth SHUT. The test is over. Done. Finis. You will at some point need to learn how to run a manual really fast.
