I am in kind of a unique situation. I completed a carrier school and obtained my license on a 10-speed manual transmission. Besides the school, the carrier now has 100% automated transmissions, so I have no experience on a manual besides the three week school and getting my license. I have been driving for 2 1/2 years, and at some point, I would like to move to something like a tanker hazmat position, but am concerned about lacking experience on the manual. Any suggestions on how I can get some time in on my time off to practice on the manual to get the feel back? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You could rent a bobtail tractor for $1,000/ hr. or just go for it. I don't see what the problem is, you've handled 10 speeds before. Like riding a bike, it comes right back.

Where is your location; maybe can give you some suggestions and places to contact.
