Hey MB,
Thanx for the advice mate.
The only issue is that it was a girl that gave me the advice to go with synchromesh, not a bloke.
Since she was at the front desk dealing with guys who come for the tests(and gals occasionally I reckon for bus licenses)
her answers and warning should carry some good weight. But, when I asked her definitive questions like if she has any examples or stats in their system or her memory about guys failing the HR with nonsynchromesh, she couldn't answer, so I insisted(to her) I better go for non-synchro and get it over with since I won't have any restrictions and that would boost my chances of any truckie jobs(hopefully).
I have been considering going for HR 'cos of having to earn some part time cash while doing other things that doesn't generate any cash. I dunno whether there is such thing called part time truckie, but HR license is required to drive metro busses as well(Apparently, but probably non-synchro or synchro isn't necessary 'cos all of them are auto).
