Glad I could help

I would take the manual over new automatic cars all day long for one reason...the new cars beeped so much they drove me crazy!!

I never got to drive the new package cars enough to figure out how to shut off the blinker and headlight alarms, I know it can be done but man they sucked when the time changed and it got dark early.

Are you saying suck up the stick?

fear not competition . it makes us all better.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You ain't a professional driver if you can't drive a stick.

Strongly disagree.

Another "stick shift" thread...WINNER!

We're slated to have all the manuals out of our center by the end of next year. It really sucks because all of the people ahead of me in seniority will want to try to drive and will go to class, then get ahead of me in the list to drive and push me back however long... There's one chick who has failed class three times trying to drive because she can't drive a manual, and now she's going to get the opportunity soon enough. Oh well, such is life.

As far as manuals go, they're generally right at crotch level for me and it really sucks to drive them due to this reason. They're overall better cars, but the manuals in our center are mostly old 1000s. I'll take an automatic 800 any day over them in our center.

Not sure if it is in the Master or Supplement, but there is (or was) language that stated only 3 attempts to try to make seniority driving.

Try dimming the dash lights. That kills the beeper when the car is shut off and the headlights are still on.

That works on some trucks but not all.

They want a pat on the back everyday , they want beards , they only want to drive automatics , they want the boss to talk nice to them , want a gosh darn trophy for everything , we all had to drive sticks, take sh-t from the boss every day and we all had to shave while we all wore long hot pants in unventilated beat up pkgcars and took COD cash and knew how to make changes !!
