well to be fair you should have known,
a 10 speed only has a range selector unless its a super 10 which are rare
a 13 speed has a red button on the side for the splitter
a 18 speed has a grey button on the side for the splitter

But at mine, No physical test, no driving test. Just the medical, lots of paperwork and away we went with a trainer!

Dave75 Thanks this.

if theres no splitter its an 8LL a 9 or a 10, all of which you can drive the same (you will find out real quick which one it is and can adjust your shifting at that point)
the 10 spd is also the most common transmission

what did they teach you in school? Were non of the instructors drivers? Didn't you guys watch the Eaton Fuller Video?

Sounds like a sheety school. Most school even though they are still only 160-180hours run 8 hour days, so while your rideing while someone else drives (a good instructor) SHOULD be shareing his wisdom and experiance with the trainees.
But unforunatly most instructors are only there because them messed up there driving career (job hopping/bad dac/tickets/accidents). If you can find the good ones you'll end up a much better driver in the end.

Well, I took what I could get without having to go to one of those "CDL Mills" where I had to work for them for a year. So does this mean that since I can't drive a 10 speed very well (since I haven't been able to practice) that I'm gonna have even more trouble finding work?

if you cant figure it out ya.... But if you can drive a 13 you can drive a 10, its the easyest transmisson to use, one of the reasons so many companys use them.
How are you at driving?
How far from Myrtle, MS are you?
