    Ah, so it's more of a self awareness thing. I came in knowing that my shifting had slipped some on the trucks I was familiar with, and would be even worse on a truck I had never touched...

    I agree the costs are totally out of touch with the amount of training that they "don't" get, but it I remember right, I couldn't shift either when I first started. Just sayin'.
