Profile For Jonathan K.

So I keep hearing rumors that come June if you test in an automatic truck in PA that you will only be able to drive an auto truck and no manual transmissions. Anybody able to confirm this?

This is from a truck driving school may be a sales pitch but idk...

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to get my GED it is something I need to do not just for jobs, but for myself.

I was deciding between swift, and prime. I will possibly apply for more, but those are my 2 top picks for now. I still have a few months before even applying, so the GED should be done by then. I am currently in school for training for a vol. fireman. Ends in April. After that I should be good. I should then have all the information that and anything else by then.

Again thanks for the replies. I will be sticking around here in the mean time to see what goes on around here. It is a great site!

Out of curiosity, do you think it would be possible for me not to need a GED for the Company CDL Schooling?

I was just reading into that, and doesn't say anything on the requirements on the ones I have been readin about needing any of that.

I will definitely keep you all updated on this.

Maybe when people are logged in remove that thing at the bottom of the forums that say register, learn more etc.

Just a suggestion!

I am 21 years old. Still pretty young. Quit school in the 9th grade. I heard the GED got harder starting this thursday. I will definitely be trying to get that though.

So I am lookin at becoming a truck driver. I have zero experience. I am looking at attending some school's unfortunately they all want a GED or Diploma which I do not have.

Both my dad and my uncle are truck drivers, they have been for a long time. I was told go get a physical and study for the Written test. But after that where do I go? If school doesn't want people without a GED I am now stuck.

I came across this site from google. Searched for good paying jobs without a Diploma or Ged (Weird isn't it?) And this site was on another site and now here I am.

Any way, any thoughts suggestions please reply.

Thanks, Jon
