CDL B to A question ( Manuel/auto transmission )
Yea I would if I could. The 40’ for some reason has electric brakes on the trailer and the Manuel tractors are not set up from electric brakes. Lol

Rob t, going private with it, the construction out fit i work for year round is helping me obtain my class a for their low boy, but they have 3 tractors and trailers right now two manual 72 footers, well one on road the others down for repair, AND the third is a goose neck 40 foot auto single axle. Pretty much the reason i asked because for the road test ive been having issies parallel parking the 72 footer, so far ive been only able to get it 2 feet from the curb insted of one foot. I feel its almost impossible, eben my trainer with 11 years experance can only get it 2 foot.

CDL B to A question ( Manuel/auto transmission )
So i have been looking for information all afternoon but havent found it yet and havent called the motor vehicle office seeings i hate being on hold but i might just have to, haha. I live in nys and i currently have a cdl class b with no restrictions for the transmission. I can operate and know now is drive a truck with an unsynchronized transmission. I want to upgrade to A. seeings i already passed one skills test with a manual, would i still need to find a manual tractor so i do not have the no manual transmissions restriction? I am asuming i still need a manual but had to ask. Thank you guys a head of time
