TWO WORDS---- CLUTCH BRAKE!

now, im 23 yrs old....i dont have my truckers license...but i learned to drive truck when i was 9...i learned in a volvo...18 wheeler....and i give this kid props for trying....alot of people are scared...rightfully so....dont mean he did a good job, but "a" for effort....and enough practice....you will do ok

Glad that is not my truck you are driving. Glad those gears are in a box or they would be spread for miles down the road. There is a definite nack to driving a roadranger and you need to get someone to show you the correct technique. I had similar problems when i first started driving one, especially when they throw you in and hope you can learn to swim.

when you are slowing down the truck use the jake brake and then use the truck brakes at 20 to 25 mph lightly not pump the brakes airbrakes run out when you pump em and dont ride it if you are slowing down the press softly on the brakes and ride it from 25 mph to 10 and then let off for a few seconds and then softly ride it till it stops and then when it stops let off it and then hold it down its better for the brakes,just a little advice

Same in Michigan although you need a "F" - Farmers endorsement on your license. That downshifting was terrible, if you don't know the trans/vehicle you should be downshifting as you slow down NOT slowing down and then trying to find a gear

and also dont float shift so much its hard on the transmission and it uses more fuel each time you rev it like that with over 70k pounds you waste up to a 1/4 a gallon of diesel and use the jake brake its there for a reason

Pretty good driving there. You guys did a good job!

I know that the vid is old, but I noticed that you had one mud flap missing on the right side, My truck had the same issue, I had to take it in for its C.O.F and it didn't pass..the laws in NZ sucks

ha ha ha ha ha ha, don't we all forget our first times.

It is the simplest thing in the world, Started 4 Months ago and have already advanced to lead driver, Just remember dont dump if you dont feel comfortable (angles are important, you dont want to tip your rig over!), Make sure to pre-trip daily and check your tires Morning and evening, Dump trucking wears on tires pretty good. All in all I enjoy the hell out of it, Best job in the world!

In Florida you are exempt from having a CDL if you are using a truck for agricultural purposes within a certain radius of your farm. Looks like the case here, a little scary, I hope at least one of the two people are qualified to drive the truck. Not knowing wheather to build up more air pressure is a sign right there. I'm still a rookie driver with minimal experience, I never kept trying to shove it in. Is that an 8 speed?

Yeah, It looks like an FL112

Fix that mud flap. lol

ive been driving a manuel science 10 lol im 15 now i never grind grear like that

I drive a Sterling LT9511 Tri-Axle with an Eaton Fuller 8LL transmission. I mainly haul blacktop and stone for the construction company I work for. I have to say for someone that doesn't have a lot of experience, you didn't do to bad a job. Just give it time. Eventually, you will learn to feel the gears out and at that point, shifting is a breeze, regardless of wither you are going up or down in gears.

i havent driven a big rig. but i imagine its like floating gears in a car just way less forgiving because they dont have constant mesh transmitions. but i was taught to pass peak power and you feel it, then pull it into nuetral as you back of the gas, aply pressure to the next gear and then let the engine and road speed match up and it slips into gear

It's all sound and feel. You will get used to the sound of the engine and you will just know what gear to be in. Same with shifting. You will feel the trucks speed...she'll tell you to shift. Not to bad for a guy that is not a normal driver. Keep practising, you'll get it!

if ya cant find em, grind em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u need a clutch adjustment

Gotta start somewhere........good effort....

they should start you off cleaning the garbage inside of that cab first, and then slowly work you up to getting behind the wheel and shifting smoothly.

I was going to say grind it til you find it! You beat me to it :)

they're getting manure for their garden? that's a big ass load of manure.

Pretty sure that's what he's doing...

take it easy on er dont listen to that idiot "shifting agrressively" trucks are nothing but big babies and need to be a treated as such..jamming it in gear will get you nothing but a roasted transmission. however..for someone who dosent have a CDL obviously has little to no expeirience driving a truck...i give you credit for trying..because most people wouldnt have made it off the lot. good effort and keep working on it :)

LOL!! Grind it till it fits!!😂😂

Is the clutch brake engaged?

That's what I did, I got to a 1,000 it was time to down shift. I also wrote down and studied, most 10 speeds 20 mph = 6th gear, 25 = 7, you have to find your own way every truck is different, best way to learn ifyour new. 1:36 NO! On any 10 speed I know just coasting between 1-5 just tap the gas pedal slightly and it will drop in from 5-4-3-2-1, you can go 5-3 without the clutch. At idle speeds rolling with the clutch in it grinds, 7 seconds of grinding at 2:15 sure way to get into an accident!

try an 10 speed or a 18 speed and is this your first time or something

Grind'um til you find'um(lol)!!!!!!

im 15 and i dont drind gears like that!

Double clutch. Clutch to go to neutral, then clutch again to go into gear.

u need to shift more aggressive remember itz a truck not a car come to jamaica an try driving like us if u cant come to jamaica look at jamaican drivers on youtube when u enter that look for (one of those days) itz almost at the bottom of the page

its pretty easy im 14 and i know how to drive a dump truck its pretty much the same as a bus.

LOL...(i need to wait until da air build up)..@ cat336bl i get wat ya syin..im only 13 and can drive an 359 pete 18 spd on da farm and im only 13..And strait pipe jake

damn I thought I was bad. Funny but good

U must i repeat MUST flick the range selector from low to high before u take it out of gear to go into high range

u need to put the gears in more aggressively ma uncle iz a trucker in jamaica an he teaches me how to stop the truck with out brakes the truck is loaded. i didnt grind so much gears as u i only grind like 6 gears u shift like a girl still be more aggressive an slam the gears in not to be cocky but the roads u guyz drive on iz easy if u dont belive me look on this

thank god for the synced gearbox in europe :D

If u can't find it grind it lol.

Is it bad to drive a dump truck is 3 gear then downshift back to 1st gear ?

HIEB that's funny

how, the school bus i drive is an automatic but its all good now the company i found out trains all its new employees

ok how hard is driving a dump truck forreal? i just got my cdl's but i only got class b and i took my test in a school bus because i got that endorsement too, but a friend of mine wants me to come with him at a trucking /excavating company better money and benefits i can pretty much drive anything but never have a dump truck any advice?

Hope the poor farmer didn't see this video of you destroying his transmission!

poor roadranger

grind me a pound

this guy should not drive truck

HOLY FUCK. this video is way to painfull to watch to the end.

thats horrible

Learn how to drive

Learn to drive..... how embarrassing
