[QUOTE="Lm602, post: 2389093, member: 64469"] I 100% understand the safety issue thing. As I said I didn't argue the reasoning, I'm just really kicking myself over doing so poorly when I know I can do better. Kicking myself even more about him saying they don't even have a single manual truck at the place I would've been working, so the singular problem I was having wouldn't be a problem. I do understand too that trucks move around and I may one day have to drive a manual truck. I'm not stupid and naive lol. I understand my situation and the reasoning completely. And the thing with stalling was only when needing to shift from 1st to 2nd at an intersection quickly (more quickly than I think you usually would shift out of 1st) before you crossed the intersection. We did a practice hill start, using the hand brake I did that fine. I never slightly stalled pulling out in 1st. Every start from a stop that I could use more of 1st gear then shift went well, it was just the short shift into 2nd that had to be done quickly I couldn't get. On the calling back note I didn't really plan on it before posting on here (really glad I did, thank you to everyone for the help) now I want to but I have no number or even an email to contact the facility back. Even when they called me for my road test it was a private number so I can't even call that back. [/QUOTE]
