i guess i just poasetd it to fast and didnt break it up.
and yes i have drivin an auto beofre and there ok but i like to shift for my self not let the truck do it for me but i do see where an auto serves a good purpose i am just not understanding why a company would do that to new drivers.
i think we should have them in standard shift trannys so they can atleast get the chance to learn to properly shift a truck before giving them autos.
once they can completely get the understanding of the manual trannys they will be able ot take that on to there future jobs instead of possably having ot learn to shift a manual tranny on the spot so to speek.
sorry for the confusion just wanted to clear this up.
Well with that I agree. If you cannot completely drive a truck the proper way it'll be hard if they ever want to move from an 'automatic' company to a regular one. I'd say they'd fail the road test then anyways as they wouldn't know how to drive stick shift.
I drove stick shift and have been driving automatic for a year and a half now and even I would have to get used to stick shift again if that ever happened, but at least I'd know how.
