Manual Transmission Truck Driving Training
Get Trained to Drive
Any Truck
At Mississippi Truck Driving School, we believe in preparing our students for every opportunity the trucking industry has to offer. That’s why we continue to train all students on 10-speed manual transmissions at no additional cost.
While many schools only teach automatic transmission driving, we make sure you’re trained to handle both. This prevents a restriction from being added to your CDL, ensuring you’re qualified to drive any commercial truck on the road after graduation.
Why Manual Transmission Training Matters
More Job Opportunities
Some fleets still operate manual transmission vehicles. Having the flexibility to drive both automatic and manual opens more doors with more companies.
No License Restriction
Avoid the “automatic only” restriction on your CDL. Graduating with manual experience gives you more freedom and better job options.
More Hands-On Training
In addition to real-time driving, you’ll train with our state-of-the-art simulator, designed to build muscle memory, shift timing, and confidence behind the wheel.
Learn With Confidence
Our experienced instructors work closely with each student, providing one-on-one support, tips, and real-world experience so you’re fully prepared for your career on the road.
“MTDS gave me the tools I needed to make a career change at age 45. Once completed, I truly felt prepared to make the step into driving and knowing my equipment properly. The instructors take extra time to make sure their students are guided on everything from regulations to learning maneuvers. The staff helped me thru the process, from admissions to assisting with job placement as a professional driver. I can’t say anything other than positive about my experience at Mississippi Truck Driving School.”
