You truckers are absolutely amazing. To have the ability to manage and keep that beast under control along with dealing with stupid drivers takes incredible skill and patience. And you have to roll through all those gears! Outstanding!

When he reached to destination he's almost in 100th Gear😏

Great video! I rode with my Dad in the Summer times in the early to late 70s. I’m 58 now. He was a 40+ year Truck Driver. Rip Dad.

I can't imagine how much pain he is feeling after a long drive with his hand up there on the stick

When the shifter is a bit longer, he must stand up. 🤣

Maybe extend the shifter out the roof by cutting a hole through it and you can use a string to shift it

Drivers have raised shifter so people know they don’t drive automatics. This rare breed is called super truckers.

Seat on the floor, shifter in the sky. Damn super truckers crack me up lol

Guys like you will always have my utmost respect. Society doesn't appreciate CDL drivers enough.

I now understand why u have to have several years of B license experience to even take an A license test, and why it takes years before u jump on something that u drive. It is a blessing to master these skills. Great job!

For some people a long shifter is more comfortable. You also get more leverage on your shift throw which helps to feel your way into the gear better. Like motorcyclists with ape hanger handle bars, its all in what you want and what's comfortable for the driver.

Gotta love the sound when you are passing a truck

I really like the simplicity of your videos..they bring me back to when I was a kid..I used to sit in the passenger seat or the back bunk and watch my dad shifting those gears. Man he loved his truck! I was always amazed Couse their were so many and he looked like a bad ass...thanks.

Watching videos like these ...really makes me miss my dad ....makes me very sad

All the people worrying about length of shifter. It is easy to shift with this size of shifter. I am listening this in gym to boost up energy level. Good job bro

Love 18 wheelers , I'm Cuban- American reside in a awesome little town in Florida( Okeechobee)have been driving since 1997 and back then the trucks were simple to repair . Now you need a big ass computer to diagnose the screw up. I drove a 2001 Freightliner w/13 sp fuller and 3.73 rear gear to me that was a great combo behind the 12.9 Detroit , top speed 105 mph but it sounds like the rods wanted a divorce but never push her passed 85mph on down hill drops. My favorite little motor for back in the day. I now drive local a bit easier on my body. Occasionally i get called for a 30 day OTR route from some owner- operators to fill in and its get to run this great nation full of opportunities and money to be made. God bless the US and my fellow truckers.

Nice shifter... Way to put additional stress on your shift forks!! Oh well, form follows function!!

You have a nice truck bro love how you keep it clean too. 👍😎

Dude's loaded light and splitting gears a lot but you'll never ever beat that 1k pound rotating assembly keeping shit going. Beautiful vid.

Literally everyone: Holy shit that's a long shifter. Me: Holy shit that's a small steering wheel!

Greetings from the Czech republic. It's looking great. Great sound. Many happy miles We call ourselves: wheels down, antennas up.

I think that shifter it’s not high enough😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Buena técnica al hacer cambios y el rugir de ese motor uuffff!!! Es bonito ponerle amor a la manejada! Saludos desde Houston!

Nice to meet you I am Japanese. I love trucks. I fell in love with the coolness of the track at the best angle.

Hermoso sonido del Detroit! Mis respetos!

Hello Eiver2 Trucker. Love your videos, me and my colleague like to listen to your massive engine on home cinema. That engine rumble and the turbocharger whistle is simply amazing. We also like your ridiculously log shifter, and all the chrome and wood on the dashboard :D Great truck! You also seem like a nice guy, we like how relaxed you are behind the wheel, you are a very cool guy. We are already subscribing your channel and watched every video. If you are thinking about next videos, please make one with split screen and rev counter and speedo on one side and the shifter on the other side while you are driving your Freightliner classic. This would be very cool to see. Anyway, good work, keep em coming :D Cheers from Poland! :D

I love watching this guy drive

Gotta love that engine sound though 😍 music to my ears.

Love the video brother. You need to post more and longer videos with this view. I am an automotive mechanic at the moment, but I am eager to get my CDL and jump in the field. Be safe and blessed!

Toda una fiera con esa cajita de 13 saludos de toluca city 👋👋👋

Keep that shifter that high when u young but try that 30 years behind the wheel your rotator cuff will be done 🤣🤣🤣🤣

To each his own.I drove manuals over 20 yrs. I just don't miss them enough to switch back from auto's. Especially in rush hour traffic.

Engine - smooth sweet song...you must try to make videos about your trips (kinda blog)

Always Enjoy your Truck Videos Man. Keep Trucking!! Shout Out from Brisbane, Australia 👌🏽💯

I’m envious! I never learned how to drive stick. I can only imagine how difficult this is as compared to a regular car! Truckers are truly gifted!

Man ur driving that truck like a professional! Would luv to ride in one! Never been cross country in a tractor trailer before!Maybe oneday on my bucket list!!

The ape hanger Shifter, A tool for those who never learned to drive.

Dam I love the sound of that truck

When using your splitter you don't have to pull the stick into neutral when up shifting...Unless you're a supper trucker

It’s a normal stick. He’s sitting on the floor.

God bles you..... I like truck too From Brasil✌✌

*1:08** i love this action and sound*

Love this gear change, woohoo! Awesome

Cool sounds and I love the shifting gears

Love the Sound. Of Truck great

Love from JAMAICA GREAT SHIFTING 💯🔥🔥💯👌👌

Love those old Freightliners!

That exhaust sounds nice!

Se é loco cachoeira... aí tem pressão em amigão, parabéns pelo bruto

Hi really good Speedshifting buddy;) greetings from Germany

If I could shift that good, you are God Damn right I would want a stick like that!!

This is one of the bests truck channels on KZfaq. Nice and clean truck and we see how much you like what you do. A lot of haters talking negative stuffs about your truck and you, but we know that this kind of people will never have nothing what the want in the life because they have fear to give their own characteristic on the stuffs just to be inside the pattern of an usual asshole person. If you like high shifters, do it, if you like low seats, do it. That's nothing in the law that tell you to don't do it. If you don't have nothing positive to tell, just keep your month closed. Saludos from Brazil!! Keep rolling!!

for a moment i thought you were shifting through gears while reversing lol

Always wanted a gear shift extension when I was driving

That shifter is higher then my self esteem...

Long shifter, for badass shifting! Love them Classic XL's

Traes al puro chingaso ese portable bro saludos

Those extended shifters are a rookies way of letting people know he's driving an 18 inch wheeler! He's a RASCAL!!

Big whoop...Most of us old hands have driven a 13 speed.

Maravilla de motor el series 60, suena hermosisimo ese camión, saludos desde chihuahua

I love your shifting style. the twist you do between 3rd and 4th gear. I do that to because when I was learning to drive, it would help remind me what gear I'm in. also I like how when you shift the higher gears you move the shifter twice per shifter position instead of just simply pushing the button on the side. and fuck these people who bitch about you resting your hand on the shifter. it's only hard on it if you push down on it. if you're gently resting your hand on the shifter its harmless or at the very least, does very minimal damage.

Haulinnn Azz👌

I like the tall stick shift looks nice im tired of the modern ones especially on the freightliners.

that sound of turbo boost..😍

Aparato Que Suena Lindo😍🔥

Leaving them in the dust hell ya badd ass bro👍👍

For a Detroit to pull that good he must have been empty. HAMMER DOWN IN THE RIGHT LANE MR. SNOWMAN!!!!!

its very fun to row through the gears and it keeps you engaged in driving but god do i love my automatic when hill starting or in heavy traffic.

I just want to peel that Apple sticker xD

Distribuindo talento nas cruzadas 👏👏👏👏

Your shoulders will love this!

in 1982 in iraq...we are using RTO 915 if loaded we shift it in order but if empty we just skip gears & off the jakes...it simple...

Corre como loca esa madre no!😂💪👌🔥🔥🔥

Minds me of Mr Bean and his mop, driving a mini at Goodwoods festival of speed.

Bet the rest of the truck is just as beautiful 🤙

When your stick is taller than you! 😅

love this sound

He is trying to make up for something with that shifter 😂

u gotta feel like ur manning the millennium falcon or some shit😂 the way u float through those gears is crazy🤯

So smooth. Amazing.

Respeto ++++

Looks relaxing

Nicely done, I'll be shifting like this soon! Still a little rough

Love that shifter!

Устанешь включать все передачи блин! 😂

Lindo caminhão! parabéns. (Brasil)

This would be a blast in gridlock.

That's why nobody can beat super truckers in arm wrestling.

Dios eso es vida!!!😌

Longer stick needed. Also ladder to shifting gears.

Jamaican trucking is the most goated form of trucking to ever exist.

Gotta love that exhaust

E meu sonho cara vc tá de parabéns ❤✌🤙

Fine job. Your skill has earned you one extra lot lizard for the day. 👍🏻🦎

HOLY Shitz, I'd still be in the parking lot leaking fluid with transmission parts all on the ground with that many gears😆

You killed it🔥🔥🔥

There is actually one more gear he could have used. A lot of people don’t know it’s there though. Once he goes into the high side he could have pulled it against his leg where first would be. It’s mainly for turning off at low speeds so you don’t have to go back into the low side. The gear ratio doesn’t really match up from a dead stop acceleration but when you can use it that baby pulls pretty damn hard.

So much hate, at least he’s not in an automatic. So give the man his RESPECT ✊🏽 .

Muy bien, así se maneja correctamente 👌

Raod ranger hard to get used to .but smother than anything we get used to it. Nice shifting mate.
