Got my cdl back in September of last year but for reasons out of my control haven't been able to use it yet.
Wanted to ask did anyone else used to get somewhat exhausted learning to drive stick not so much from the physical aspect of it but from mentally having to focus so hard on not screwing up? I remember I used to break out in a sweat most every time after about 15-20 minutes on the road just from focusing so hard on all the clutching and trying not to screw up in front of my trainer.
Does this tiring effect go away once you become a pro at shifting? Anyone else have this issue when first learning?
It's actually making me want to start out with an auto shift company not to have the worry about the shifting. Not that the shifting bothered me it just seems for me at least, it would just be less tiring mentally, and I'd rather just focus and put my energy into driving the rig. Or maybe just suck it up and keep learning how to clutch because still most companies don't use auto shift. Don't know, maybe worrying to much about it I'm sure I'll be fine once it's second nature.
Thanks for any input.
Getting used to clutching and tiring easily.
