HR trucks

[Rumcajs]

I'd go for full HR license aka "crashbox". In any case you will have mandatory "log book" training anyway so instructor will pass you as you progress through. To only do sychro or auto box is in fashion but you will get condition on your license or handicap so will not be able to drive anything non synchros. Do it once do it right. Crash boxes are not as difficult as some make it so, hardest part is to get used the clutch pedal operation that is you do not de-clutch fully to the floor (clutch brake will engage) stuffing the gear changes.

Yes its true "manual Roadrangers" boxes are pretty much rare these days, the uptake of automated ones is basically 100 to 1 so unless you'll get in to older clunker, last 5 years of trucking is mostly auto shift boxes.

I must admit I avoid crash boxes these days as driving auto shifts (even non Road ranger based) is so trivial and easy that even synchro manual is a chore. Every truck maker has them and some are better then others.....

If you can afford it go full.
