Trucks are all the same; it doesn't matter.

What matters is how you handle situations like accident avoidance with situational awareness.

What doesn't matter is overthinking.

What matters is having confidence to lessen the learning curve.

Manual transmissions are easy to learn; they all work the same and they all shift the same, no exceptions. Just the patterns are a little different.

I have driven all kinds of trucks, and junk, all different transmissions and all different sizes, maybe a hundred or so.

The question I have is this: who uses resumes?
