Hey everyone! I need some help, please! I am currently in the process of getting my CDL with company sponsored schooling. CFI sent myself and three other students to Truck Dynasty Driving Academy where we attended 3 weeks learning on a manual International Prostar. However, because of COVID-19, Truck Dynasty had to suspend operations. We were not able to complete our testing because Missouri DOT testing was suspended as well. BUT, because we had completed enough hours, CFI brought us to Joplin and we are currently in company orientation. We found out today that CFI worked out a special deal with Crowder College to get us tested since they are an approved third-party test site. CFI wants us to go test on Wednesday this week. CFI told us Crowder College uses different equipment and that their trucks are autoshift. What type of trucks does Crowder College use? Can anyone help? What do we need to know for the pre-trip? What is belt driven? What is gear driven? Also, any advice on driving an autoshift truck? Thanks so much!
