We have those.I haven't seen a manual transmission with Reverse up and to the left in years. Y'all need some new equipment if you still have one of those floating around.

You can't get DQed over grinding a gear. You'd have to basically grind gears in every shiftWe have a real hard a.. sup that has been doing the road test lately. He has disqualified more guys than has passed. Mostly over grinding a gear. My advice would don't grind any gears

Everyone I've driven is like that so yea we probably do.I haven't seen a manual transmission with Reverse up and to the left in years. Y'all need some new equipment if you still have one of those floating around.

There's a first gear?First gear is not synchronized. Do not shift to neutral when coming to a stop. When you have come to a full complete stop, and you have the clutch pedal all the way to the floor, then quickly shift out of whatever gear you're in and into first. It's like shifting to reverse, but you need to do this for first gear, too.
I always take off in second, 1st is basically a granny gear, on the 4 speed gms and the Spicers.....when I had my road test 4years ago it was in an old 800 with a four speed BTW.I have been a package handler for 9 years and I finally got a bid for a full time driving job. I am decent on driving a stick, but it's not something I've done for years. How particular are they when you go for the initial road test? I still tend to roll back a tiny bit when I am on an incline and put the car into gear. Will this be an issue? What all should I expect this test to entail?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Omg you forgot eye lead time and following distancePre-trip your vehicle before taking it on road.
Adjust that e-brake as tight as you can to help hold you on those little hills.
Always look over your left shoulder when pulling from a curb.
Tap your horn a lot. Any corner or object you can't see around.
Come to a complete stop (tires not rolling) behind every stop sign and behind the crosswalk strips at intersections.
Use your turn signals well in advance of every lane change or turn.
It's not a race, so be calm and in control. Maintain your lane and Your speed. Left turn - left lane, right turn - right lane.
Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you when you are stopped in traffic. And delay you movement 3 seconds after the vehicle in front of you starts to move.
Good luck.

Ups won't care unfortunately.Thanks everyone. This is a lot of useful info. Trying to figure out what to do now as I am hearing the next training session is the week my wife is having a c section. Not sure how that would work.
So then would I need to do the bid process again next time? I'm not missing the birth of my kid. They can't fail me for not being able to go to that session I wouldn't think.Ups won't care unfortunately.
