Don't even use the clutch, just rev match.
Make sure they teach you how to use the handbrake!

UPS? 2018. U-Haul? A couple months ago. Fairly often too. I've never seen one with a stick in it. They seem to try and make their trucks absolutely idiot-proof. They even default to tow/haul mode every time you start them, presumably so Joe Blow doesn't forget and blow the transmission when he tows his U-Haul trailer.When's the last time you've driven a UPS truck

They even got virtual simulators so you can save money from renting a uhaul for getting paid sla—I mean competitive wages.

In a manual transmission automobile there are three pedals instead of two. The far left pedal is the clutch, middle is the brake and right is the accelerator. Hold the clutch down when you need to change gears, you’ll know when to do this by the engine’s RPM. It’s instinctive, smooth and coordinated foot movement is key. When starting out hold both brake and clutch to the floor then put the PC into 1st gear. Now release the clutch slowly while you feather the accelerator, the PC should start to move forward. If not, check your hand brake. Once you’re in motion you’ll only need to hold the clutch down to change gears.
Hope this helps!

Drive a car and don’t crash it.
Repeat that during the test and you’ll start intergrad the next week.

How embarrassing. Even my grandmother could drive a manual transmission vehicle.

Last time I had driven manual was probably 7 years before the test and class. Anyone that can’t pass the ups test probably shouldn’t even be driving

You cross that line and your done…..no respect from your fellow workers,boss and even the union and when your in trouble and need the union to back you watch what’s going to happen…..952 is one of the most informative heads around here so why don’t you show alittle respect….
As for driving stick find a friend or rent a car that has one and go the a empty parking lot and start learning but as others said I don’t even think ups has them around anymore other than show and tell

You've never seen one because when they automatically assume when they see you walk in with your man-bun that you can't handle a stick.

Dude, just don’t hit anything. Show some potential. It all depends on who is driving with you and how desperate they are for drivers!

Is it still automatic fail if on a right turn if you hit the curb with the right rear tire?
In fact, swing wide, it's a frikkin truck!

You have a friend named Manuel? Maybe he has a car/truck with
a manual tranny and you can learn from Manuel how to drive a manual.

About a third of our trucks are still manuals. If you can’t drive a stick, you aren’t a driver at my center.
Are you in cambodia? No
ing way your center has that many manuals left
