The reason I ask is our company has had to slowly purchase all automatics to get CDL B & Chauffeur drivers. Our CDL A Tractor- drivers obviously know but prefer automatic & I understand why.

I take it that most of you are in there 40's ? I was driving at 15 on a regular basis but my 1st experience was in a old Chevy pick-up with 3 on the column.
Learned on my bf's 1986 Chevy Z-24. My bf had a blue one and I had a red 1984 but mine was automatic. I miss that car. Shoulda never sold it. Dad had an old 1984 Dodge Ram that I drove very rarely just because I didn't like it and PaSprint had a Toyota Tacoma I drove all the time here at work. Although I have never driven in winter weather because I was scared to death of wrecking.
Had exact same car and color w ith a 283. That was my commuter car to Chicago during my Race Track days. Racked up 249,000 miles on it . Some rust started bottom of rear window...sold it and it went another 50,000 before it finally died.
something like this
I'm 41. My dad made me learn to drive and eventually take the driving test for my license on my 15th birthday in a car with standard transmission. Even though I haven't driven standard transmission regularly at any point in my life, it is similar to riding a bike, in that once you learn, you don't lose it.

Snafu need a job I'll hook you up but seriously there is such a shortage of drivers that companies for years have been recruiting in the eastern block nations, Mexico & Africa. Nobody wants to do anything semi-physical anymore in this country & the ones that fill out an application can't pass a drug screen or background check. You can make a good living as a driver.
