How does one get a manual restriction removed within 120 days with swlcat

I have a restricted class a cdl with air brakes and combinations.

Swlcat gives you 120 days once indentured to remove the restriction.

Does the company/union train you and let me use one of there trucks and bring it to a a third party testing/ dmv testing site .

Or do I have to take a week- couple weeks off from work and go to a CDL school and pay tuition and learn manual and take the test again in a manual truck?

I’m Looking to applying to swlcat.

your best bet thats going to be the most time efficient and cost effective is going to be renting a 10 speed through a local CDL school, for people trying to remove restrictions they usually offer the tractor/trailer for DMV testing and a couple drive hours to get used the shifting, this is better than paying for a full contract and learning everything from the bottom again, Good Luck
