I’ve decided that I enjoy driving stick shift and would prefer to do so in a place with good weather. During my research, I discovered that most trucks in Hawaii have manual transmissions, and you can actually work as a part-time trucker there, which is exactly what I want. I would love to hear from anyone currently driving there or who has recently driven in Oahu. I wouldn’t mind dividing my time between a few islands if I can find a company that operates on several islands.
Also, I was taught using a 10-speed transmission. Could anyone explain the differences between a 10, 13, and 18-speed transmission? Hopefully, it won’t be another learning curve for me.
I’ve already made a few calls, and most companies want me to stop by to apply, then they’ll take me on the road before making a decision. They are also asking for a resume. My previous experience is corporate-related and not related to trucking, so I’m not sure why they’re all asking for one. In any case, I welcome any good and useful advice.
