Wel Company Orientation And Training
Topic 31218 | Page 1
I would like to know if they train you on automatic or manual transmission trucks. I got my cdl a license but I only learned on a 6 speed. I never learned how to drive with a 10 or 13 speed and I’m pretty bummed about that so now I’m thinking I might only have to use automatic or auto shift trucks.
I'm not sure of WEL specifically, why don't you ask the recruiter? Does your CDLA license have a class E restriction on it? That's what denotes 'auto shift/automatic only.'
Check your license, call your recruiter, and apply to more companies, here:

CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Even though I have lots to do while I'm home today, I must be bored 😉 I went to Wel's website and they have a question box, so I asked about their trucks and training. This is the answer from Randall:
We only have automatic Trucks at this time. We have a paid training program for new and inexperienced Drivers

No it doesn’t because I took my cdl a road test in a 6 speed.
