The quotes below are about this issue:
Manual transmission and other driver training is important.
| "[Driving a manual transmission] is a lost skill that nobody knows. I have 1,200 trucks and by far my biggest struggle is bringing entry-level people in that can drive a manual transmission vehicle." | Central |
| "I think that's a generational thing. You know, I didn't drive [a manual transmission] until I learned how. So that's my biggest challenge throughout the Midwest, is that that skill has been lost completely. Even with some of the CDL level people, they've trained on automatic transmission trucks. We have all manual transmissions, so I think that's a skill that needs to come when they go through the program level." | Central |
