I took my road test 2 weeks ago July, 23 in nyc for new 22.4 driver position and failed.Ups had me and other prospective 22.4 drivers do our road test in oldest and largest stick shift box truck they had in center. I know how to drive manual, but come on, an outdated truck. I am 34 year old and when I went for my drivers license all lessons, it was done with automactic transmission. This is 21 century, nobody hardly uses stick shifts anymore. Ups needs to get rid of requirement of taking road test in manual truck, because from what I understand after a person is hired all new drivers receive automatics anyway. So what is the point, I guess just a way to keep people from getting the job.Right now I am unemployed, and was looking forward to being hired I new 22.4 driver postion. Ups needs to take all stick shift trucks to scrap yard, do away with them. All Upscenters should have all automatic trucks, and road test given in them. This is not the 20 century 1960s, stick shift come on ups. Stick shift requirement needs to stop
