I get that. That's why I'm torn. Since I most probably have a Class A in my future to avoid that type of harassment, I'm not looking forward to the expense, time factor, putting up with the other morons in the class, etc. On the plus side, who knows, from what I've seen in the auctions, an older (still capable) big rig can be had for lots less than a modern 1 ton, & since I grew up driving stuff I needed to double clutch when the synchros went, I figure the twin sticks can't be that much tougher & prices may get better if newer drivers are only doing automatics. Less wear on the PU, a true "post apocalypse rig", & probably more fun to run with a heavier load. At least it would open up some rental options I don't currently have. Might even save me on insurance, since my wife can't drive anymore & I have 1 car registered in CA covered by a Commercial Policy & 3 in FL covered by personal, with a CDL I should be able to combine them on whoever will give me the cheaper commercial policy, & be done with it.
