I currently have a E restriction on my CDL A. I drove for sysco for 2 years. I recently got a job for a construction company where I will be driving a roll off straight truck with a pintle hook.

They want me to test with just the roll off straight truck that has a manual transmission. Will that remove my E restriction and will that then make it legal for me to drive a tractor trailer with a manual transmission?

I know this is a bunch of gibberish I am Just not good at explaining things so I hope you really smart people can help lol!

CDL A manual and O restriction

I currently hold a CDL A with a manual restriction. I switched jobs and I am not required to lift my manual restriction but instead of a tractor trailer set up I will be driving a straight truck with no fifth wheel attached to a trailer. I was told this will be a CDL A with a O restriction.

I am wondering when I test with the new set up (straight truck and trailer) will I still be allowed to drive a cdl A tractor trailer set up?

Is there any way other than testing with a semi truck fifth wheel and trailer to get my manual transmission restriction removed from my current CDL A manual restriction?

I hope you can all understand what I am asking!
