Ups trucks work backwards, you have to start in 4th gear, hope this helps

We only have two stick shifts left in our entire building. Everything else is an automatic.

Are you sure they’re going to test you on a stick? Our center recently stopped making that part of road test even though we still have a manual or two lurking.

It kinda sounds like you think you’re going to hop in the truck and learn how to use the clutch on the fly. Sorry but learning stick is a frustrating experience at first for almost everyone. You need to hit your most patient friend that owns a stick and have them show you the ropes for few sessions. Also you’re gonna need to give that friend a fancy 12 pack at the very least.

Deranged lunatic
I have not seen a stick shift in my career. Not that I could not drive one, they just are not here.

last season I did helper, the driver beat the piss out of it. threw gears down at high acceleration, lugging the gears, even push-starting it downhill. having a fun time with it because we all knew they were disappearing soon.

Don’t believe there is a stick shift in our building, 120 trucks, you might get lucky like that.
