I have been a professional semi driver for over 15 years, and this is the way it is properly done. It isn't complicated... You just have to match your engine speed to your transmission speed, which you know from your road speed. This information is good for any manual transmission, as long as you know your speeds, it will work.

Just in case no one has told you, your videos on how to shift and float are the best on the internet and KZfaq. Trust me I have looked at a lot of them. You have a gift for explaining things and including the proper details.Trust me I have looked at a lot of videos on shifting and no one is explaining it properly as you are doing?

I wish I could like this video a thousand times. The best and most thorough way of explaining floating gears I've seen.

Did my first delivery today in a 10 speed. Never knew how to float gears before. This video gives me a little more confidence. :)

My new job that I’am starting soon, their trucks are 10speeds. I’ve never driven a 10speed before 😳. I was nervous just thinking about it, until I watched a couple videos. It’s not as bad as I thought🤔. I already know how to drive a manual, just never driven a 10peed. I just received my class A permit over a month ago. I had a class B. My new job is going to train me on their trucks. Once I get comfortable, I’ll take the truck out for my driving test. I’am nervous, and excited at the same time. Very good video 👌🏽.

Thank you for taking the take to make this. I'm working on getting my CDL and have been struggling with the downshifting, I can downshift but it's not always clean. Your explanation and "rev in neutral" will definitely help me. Thank you

I have been driving professionally for 2 years. Mostly automatics though. I haven’t really had to do much shifting. Not since CDL school. Your videos have brought me up to speed on floating.

Reddaway hired me out of trucking school and they had a trainer specifically to teach me how to float gears. I love it!

Best video I've seen. Needed a refresher on shifting. I've gotten way too comfortable driving automatics.

This is a great video. I’m fresh out of CDL driver training school. The only way we can shift is double clutch every single gear. It’s terrible and outdated. Then when school is done, now I have to learn how to float gears.

Good instructional video on floating. Im currently in truck driving school learning how to float

You make it easier for people to understand how to shift the gears in this truck , it's like you driving a manual shifter car . and thanks for putting the camera on the top so we can see the whole cabin and the way you drive .thank you so much .

Yuh video a wan a di easiess fi overstand pon KZfaq bredda. Mi a learn pon a dump truck rite now an it well diffrent from standad inna car. Mi a watch yuh video a few more time an den mi a ago si wen the practical come 'round weh mi can apply. Bless up family 🇯🇲

Like a boss, awesome video, thank you for sharing 👍I need to practice my downshifting, it's what's giving me issues at work.

Not a problem brother. When someone is doing something right there needs to be acknowledgement.

Very good video Sir. The way you presented it will help a lot of newer drivers that are given a 10-speed to drive, to make their lives easier! Prefer a manual over the newfangled automatics these days, as I feel you have better control, especially in winter driving.

To be sincere this is one of the best video I have ever seen. Please, we want to see more 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

You are gifted at teaching.

I’am hearing that Caribbean accent Mi brudda,I’am from St.kitts🇰🇳but now living in Toronto 🇨🇦and I have a friend that was trying to convince me to get my trucking license for years,but only now I’ve decided to get it and the manual is what I’am interested to learn,Very helpful video.#Bless up🙏🏽👊🏽

Bro your badass i just got my first cdl job and my trainer is not that good at explaining things to me. This video is great i will try this tomorrow I'm probably going to impress my trainer, leave him in the dust

Good job young man! Haven’t driven in about 7 years, miss doing so in oil fields of Alaska

Very very very professional brother !!! My respect goes out to you. I got a job offer and this is the video I watched to know how to float gears. 👊🤝

Yaad man 🇯🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥,this ma final week in class,so far just shifting correctly leave for me to catch and do my road test this video helping me out brogad 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This man smooth sailing them gears! Great video. Working on getting my class a soon!

Great video brother, well put together presentation. No silly music and editing, I like it. Nice clean tractor too, nice to see professionals out there!

Thank you for your video I haven't driven a truck in 4 years. Needed a refresher course your video was on point. Loved your video have a blessed ones keep on trucking man haha

Good easy explaination, not long winded confusing bs

I probably shouldn't be watching this since I have my DMV road test next month lol

Make the k sing brrrrrrrrrrpppppp 🇯🇲…. Am currently doing class for my CDL A license second day on the road, need to work on double clutching. Wish it was just one press I’d be good bro. Great video on floating gears 👊🏾!

Good video,it’s nice to see a yaad man doing something positive and educating people,keep it up

Very helpful on floating gears, thanks for your time ,from Corpus Christi Texas

Today I saw your post about floating I like it I can't wait to try I am a student but automatic my school don't recommend to start in manual

Awesome thanks, you are a good teacher.

Good video. Very straight forward and informative. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Ur video is the most educational for shifting thanks

Awesome video!… you taught it right demonstrating an talking through definitely helped!… thanks for teaching others !

Can you please do a video with the rpms and foot placement your videos have helped me out alot

This Is a great Truck ,strong ,for now I drive a Shacman 10 speed also very very interesting

Another well done video. I used to drive 30 yrs ago and getting back into it part time. The time I appear to have trouble is say your going along in 9th and you slow down fairly suddenly, one is I have trouble deciding what gear I should be in and then I grind away. Can I still just go by the rpms no matter the speed of truck and simply get it up around 14 to 1500 let it drop a bit and go into any gear without grinding? Basically I have trouble on a rapid slow down. Thanks again!

I love this video it is very smooth and compelling I like the concept of floating gears I must say good job on this video bro because I know this video will help others and even myself in the future

This video is so helpful just got my Cdl the only problem I have is stalling my truck from a stop because I think I don’t give it much gas or let go of the clutch fast not sure

Very nice and easy tips to learn more thank you

Good teaching bro really good explanation and demonstration

Simple demonstration, great tutorial video. Like a boss👍🏾

Great job... Very helpful 👏🔥💯👍 Thank you

You're a great instructor. Keep making videos

Thanks for passing your knowledge along make more videos you make it look easy but we all know it takes practice and patience and you seem to have that 👍👍👍👍

good explanation dude. learned something thengs alot man

This is a great video I have found that every truck is a little different. But generally the same when it comes to the basics. I love the video very helpful , cool calm and collective the best thing to do when trucking is to find a comfortable seat position and learn from that. Long long days in a cab will be taxing if the comfort level isn’t on point. Great job My suggestion when it comes to Experience is the first year find a company to hire you work your ass off then make an indeed or monster account and just let that role see what happens

Hell yeah bro! This helped me soo much! Thanks

You the best one explain how shifting 10 speed transmission

This really work for me bro good videos 💯

Dam good vid bro prechatecha ya ming

You Official I'm just learning smooth sailing through them gears I subscribed !

Do you have to rev in to get out of gear and rev to get back in gear?, im a new driver and floating gears looks way easier then double cluching... new subscriber, keep coming out with the great content 👍🔥

Amazing shifting,

Great video bro!! I’m a new Driver for manual! I learned a lot from you!! Thanks

to down shift, rev it up to neutral, and downshift to lower gear, my dad says, rev it up also to downshift to lower gear

Keep up the great work brother bless 🙏🏿✊🏿

Anyone ever gets the opportunity to drive a 5 spd Mack do it because you really got to let those RPMs drop to shift a 5 spd is a different type of driving unlike the multi speed progressive shift gear boxes the reason I’m telling you this is so you have a easier time learning to Skip shift on the 9 or 10 spd road ranger gear box when you are Bob tailing or deadheading with an empty trailer on you shift 2 4 pull up your air range changer go to 6 8 10 this is Bob tail or pulling a Empty it takes some practice to get the feel you got to let those RPMs fall more than you would for progressive shifting every gear that’s why I mentioned driving a 5 spd Mack will help you understand about letting the RPMs fall to shift if you try and shift progressively when skipping gears it won’t work you will grind the gears which is bad on the transmission same with trying to shift the 5 Speed Mack progressively it will not shift you will grind skip shifting saves fuel and wear & tear on the truck & you too only do it when Empty or Bob tailing when your loaded you must shift all gears in sequence

I love it, please I want to learn how to drive truck trailer. Kindly introduce me to reliable driving school.

yes bro i am about to taken heavy truck driving schooling classes i want you to be my coach

Very smooth!

Very good video driver!

Automatics everywhere nowadays. Iwill say once you learn floating you'll never double clutch again. You literally use the gas pedal to go in and out of gears. Clutch literally disappears until you start and stop.

thank you bro im working on my shift kenworth thnks

Can you make a video on making turns on a green light. Do you downshift through all the gears or speed match.

Good stuff...

Very useful papa big up

Nice video bro

Kick ass video

Actually have an interview with this company in garden city.. are all the trucks 10 speed??

Love your videos

I can shift easily going on high gears, but to bring it to lower gears is not that easy, I have to bring it to 5 miles per hour to go low gear and still sometimes it wont fall in gear, so I use the clutch , But at school the examiner dont accept it that way, In my mind I say" Then what is the clutch for?"🙁

Question right when u upshift example 8 to 9 when ur RPMS are at 1500 when u take it out of 8th do you rev it to go up to the 9th or ?

Can you show me how to down shift with jake break and up shift with the jake break on

I need to learn how to shift

Nice one brother, you are too good, pls I need a truck job can you help me

Mashallah

Mostly all drivers float gears rite

I'm looking at the CDL jobs on indeed and thinking of putting myself though school. is the money really that good ??

Thank u for ur video I just learning next 2 week I have the test my question did I use the Gas to get 1500 RPM when I upgrade or down shaft to Neutral ? Then I will use it to move the gear from N to other gear ,,hope u explain it to me

Brother can you please explain how to float gears up shifting and down shifting in writing please I'm training in 8 speed truck

When downshifting, how are you pulling it out of gear?

This is good shit bro 👍🏼

Thank very much

And I can’t thank you enough.

Good video 🤟🏽

Rev to what rpm when downshifting? I grind and can’t get it in. I have to start from 3 again.

Great video!! Thank you!!!

Haha ndakurova

Great video

New to channel. You don't haul fuel anymore??

can you shift if you go past 1500? Mine never wants to shift up past 1500, or it grinds

Great video thank you!

I am planning to get my truck license. I don't get when do you press the clutch during gear change? it looks like it is different than a normal manual car.

Hey man I gotta question so I can float up shifting but not down I have to double clutch.when I down shift I have to give it gas to get it in neutral then I have to give it a little gas to rev the rpm then I just take my foot off of the gas after and slip it into the lower gear ? Or do I hold the gas when I rev and put it in gear ?

Great video, I want to apply at Walmart but I heard they test you in a manual transmission and I been driving automatic for 2 years and pretty much forgot how to drive a stick shift. Any advice on where to practice driving manual again?

What RPM do you down shift when I try it , It grinds & I have to wait to slow completely down to start @ 2-3 gear SMH

I grind gears to downshift to 5th from 6th gear I hate it man.
