Question:
(You get a lollypop for answering)
Question for all Students and "Newbies." (I hate that term)
What type(s) of transmission are you being taught in school? Roadranger (1-5 then flip to hi-range 6-10), SUPER 10 (Like 5 speed with 2 speed rear) or Automatic?
Which do you prefer?
For those who have graduated, which transmissions are you being assigned to or are training with, with your new companies? And which transmission(s) do you prefer?

Answer:
of schools teach students on 9, 10, & 13 speed trannies. A few schools throw in a super 10 once in a while if the they have a large enough percentage going to training companies that use them.
USXpress is about the only training company/school that uses Auto's from day one. (As far as I know)
I will always be a mutter trucker at heart.
Answer:
I'm going to has 9 speed tranny's,the only school i know of besides USX that trains u on Auto's is down near Joplin,Mo.

Answer:
"The majority of schools teach students on 9, 10, & 13 speed trannies. No kidding Kind of like saying the majority of schools use trucks.
Were not newbies so we can't answer. By the way the school I went to used nine speeds. Messed me up when I took a road teast in a 10 speed. Kept bypassing 6th. I'll step out now.

Answer:
All transmission work locally was done in 9 speed until CDL passed. Now the last weeks of schools on-the-road experience is in 2-9sp trucks, a 10sp, and a super 10. My favorite is the super 10.

'Cause I know where I've been.

Answer:
We use the 9-speed. It's a early 90's truck. Freight liner. I'm having a hard time pushing in the clutch sometimes. Kinda hard on my knees. Hope to have a 2000 or better truck when I start, or better yet an automatic.

Answer:
I heard you, I did !!
I have a plate, some screws and some wire in my left leg just below the knee. I haven't had this much excercise on my left leg...EVER !!!!
It is getting a lot easier, though. We are driving Kenworth K100's I think 1985 models.
Talk about old trucks!

Answer:
The school I went to trained us on 8, and 9 speeds then when I went to burlington I drove a 2000 freightliner centry class which had a regular 10 speed. I don't see the point in auto's in trucks that just takes out all the fun.

Answer:
9 speed and Super 10
