[QUOTE="take your time, post: 3541653, member: 72656"] I don't know what it's like in your location, but for my road test, they gave me the :censored:tiest truck you could imagine. I was used to driving :censored: manual cars, but honestly this truck made my car feel like a Porsche. The manual transmissions on the UPS trucks are Synchronized, meaning you don't need to double clutch. But the problem is the synchronizing rings are worn out, so the gears grind. When I tested, I stalled the truck once. But I took the time to learn the gear positions, and took off with no problem. The sup wanted me to drive twice around the hub, inside the yard. Then we hit the road. After about 30 minutes, we returned to the hub and he said I passed. Told me what I needed improvement on. Then he sent me to driving school. The guy being road tested after me failed, he stalled his truck twice. Didn't even make it past the inside yard drive. Keep that in mind. [/QUOTE]
