Manual trucks
I plan on getting my Class A CDL in a few months in manual. It’s only a 2 day advanced CDL course. So I would have a CDL but no experience or many hours. They offer 5 and 6 speed trucks. You also don’t have to double clutch. So how would I learn to drive a 13 or 18 speed?
If I don’t get lucky and get hired locally. I’ll have to find an otr job and do that for a while. Which I’m fine with.
My question is. How can I get hired somewhere driving a manual truck? Because I’d technically still not know how. But I’d love to learn how to drive a 13 or 18 speed. And I’d prefer to drive a manual truck once I learn. I have a good idea on how they work I’ve just never driven one. I’ve driven plenty of passenger manual vehicles. But I know that’s completely different. Are there otr companies that offer manual trucks?
