Having to go back to school, should I do a local school that teaches manual or a mega carrier?

Interested in where you get on driving manuals besides shady 1099 auction truck fleets.

Estes has them for seniority drivers. Most either hire internally, or are owned by people you don't want to trust your livelihood with; ran out of rented lots with duct tape holding the front end on

Dozens of companies advertise for drivers and say "Must be able to drive manual transmission." These are not 1099 companies.
I don't write the company names down though.

Oof. I wish I had seen this back before you went to school.

There is no requirement for ELDT if you were a prior CDL holder. If your license was merely downgraded for no medical card, all you needed was a DOT physical and to submit that with a fresh self-certification nd your license would have been reinstated.

That is, if it hadn't lapsed otherwise.

According to the FMCSA website, if the medical card is expired for more then one year, and not self certified “exempt” the driver has to take all tests over again.
