Driving test question

[TheKid99]

I know it requires you to know how to drive a manual transmission.

But I was told they will teach you how to drive a stick before the driving test.. is this true? I just don't want to go to the driving test unprepared.

I drove similar package cars at FedEx... just not manual.

Are there any manual transmission pkg cars at your center? We have none and our guys take the road test in an automatic.

We have some I believe.

Alot of the package cars are automatic from my eyes.

If I can take the test with an automatic it will be a piece of cake

If I have to use manual i have to rent a truck because from the sound of it they want you to already know how to drive manual.

So the road test you go through cones, park, etc?

Good luck trying to find a stick shift truck to rent.

The test is on public roads.

Ask the Saturday sup if you can come in and practice. You should be able to practice around the yard. Good luck.

Ask your center manager if you will indeed be tested using a manual transmission. Your test will be out of your building around an area of town and back. You will probably back the pkg. car up to the building. Honking horn checking mirrors demonstrating the depth of knowledge a pre trip, slowing down to 15 mph at railroad crossings looking left right left,etc. I don't think there will be comes but I wouldn't put it past them. Have you went to class yet?

If there is even 1 p/c in your building with a manual transmission then you will be required to know how to drive it.

Plan for the worst. Meaning if you plan to drive the manual trans. car and they actually give you an auto you will be good to go. If you expect an auto and get a manual you're screwed.

We have a seasonal that can't drive stick so he gets an automatic. I know this as fact because he was given my truck. The upside is I get a smaller truck.

It's more like a drive around the block to see if you can drive a stick and manage to not hit anything for 15 minutes. They need drivers here so bad it's kind of a joke.

I'll trade ya a slightly used 28 year old 800 for power steering.

Same thing happens in my center around peak. All new automatic trucks are given to new seasonal drivers because they don't know how to drive stick Lol. The sups even have to pull them out of lineup for them. They can't even do that!!!!
