Any truck driver that tells you he never blew a shift is a) lying or b) driving a automatic

3 things, Life Behind The Wheel is my favorite non-gamer KZfaqr, he's awesome. Super chill guy too. You got High Strung pretty close, even got the GPS in the right spot Second, I don't wear shoes when I drive my truck very often. Sometimes I'll wear the slippers I have. I'm not into getting diesel and piss from the truck stop parking lots all over my truck haha. Third, for a guy who hasn't and doesn't drive truck, you do pretty well.

Don't worry about the know-it-alls, Jeff. You do you. We love you just the way you are! Been awhile since I've watched, really missed your videos.

8:56 my boss always told me "if someone says they haven't crunched gear in the career, their a liar lol"

Yo this is awesome!

Jeff i just wanted to say that’s I’ve been watching the ATS series for a few years now and ever since I started, I’ve been more and more interested in actual driving a truck. So, as of next Monday I am starting school for my CDL. I fell in love with actually playing the game and now I get to do it for real! I have you to thank!

I can't believe I've been watching these for years & ATS never gets old Jeff. Great graphics mod, The scenery looks amazing !

Jeff: Approaches train crossing *Dukes of Hazzard theme song intensifies*

Currently binge watching all your ATS videos since I’m off work due to being sick and I am not disappointed. Keep up the good work!😊😊

Coming out of that weigh station the developers need to put a merge over lane that way you don't have to jump into traffic.

Jeff, thanks to you, I subbed to Life Behind The Wheel, and mentioned your video in the comments on his latest video, and shared the link, so hopefully he sees this!

@lifebehindthewheel is such an amazing channel. I have been subscribed to him for about a month and I see his channel blowing up here soon!

Life behind the wheel is amazing! Love his videos. ❤❤

It would be so amazing to own of these trucks in real life but I don't have the time to maintenance them or the space love the video Jeff❤❤

YES AGREED, Jeff. I use my wheel rig without shoes because of the same reason. The pedals are just way lighter on a wheel rig then in a real car and its hard to explain without someone experiencing it theirselves

Wow, I’m REALLY early, well I hope everyone has a nice day or night!

It's hard to shift on sound and no feel, The lower gears give me a hard go, 1,2 tie my shoe 3,4 gas it more, 4,5 is just fine, 5h and 6l give her a go 6h and 7l thank god we got 2 mow to go

My dad used to have a gorgeous red Kenworth sleeper with bunk beds, with diamond stitched leather interior on the whole interior with black leather seats and some black accents, a satellite dish for tv, mini fridge, semi automatic transmission with I believe a 750hp tune on it. He bought it used at a year old, brand new I think it was like $125k or so fully loaded, maybe more, I'm not too sure tbh. Also had a gorgeous gun metal Pete with dark tint sleeper cab as well that he sold for the KW and then also picked up a Volvo sleeper for cheap. I LOVED the KW and Pete tho, they were gorgeous. He owned 2 dry bulk trailers as well. He hauled Flour for Stroehmann Bakery for their delicious white bread. The bakery is literally 1 mile from my house so we always smell it baking in the air. He sold his trucks and trailers since unfortunately.

Absolutely not necessary to shift EVERY gear lol you are correct, the splitter is definitely just to give the driver versatility and a range of options when they need it. A sweet spot if you will. I cringe when I see KZfaqr shifting into EVERY SINGLE gear. And yes I’m a a driver, I drive dump trailer in nyc. Sand gravel, material like that

Tidbit of info: 81,000 is illegal here in Texas as well as Cali. Its 1,000 pounds to heavy.

Damn that's a sick truck! My dad drives a 379 Pete and I absolutely love the truck.

Awesome video as always, Jeff. I've been a silent subscriber, never comented before. Thanks for sharing the mods, I would really like to experience this game the way you show it. Graphics look amazing compared to the stock version I have.

I can’t wait to get my wheel and shifter hooked up I finally got a wheel to play ats, snowrunner, and mudrunner. I love rocking out my old school Kenworth k100 cabover. A tip coming from a irl trucker, try to avoid blindside backing (passenger side). In an 18spd we don’t split the low range, only split the top end when loaded, even mid weight load, no split empty until 8th gear.

Wow love the wheel and shifter cam, great video Jeff!

Nice video Jeff.

The main reason for using the splitter is to keep the needle in the higher rpms when shifting cause that's where the power is in trucks. High rpms r especially important when climbing hills n driving on loose material like gravel. High rpms r important for traction since u have to let off of the throttle a little at a time so as to prevent wheel slip but also keep power applied to forward momentum simultaneously n not have to switch gears since doing so will most likely lead to wheel spin in such conditions as hills or loose material.

Great video thanks from México

I watch Life Behind the Wheel, Chill dude, Awesome to watch

Hey, Jeff. When are you gonna do another mod showcase in American Truck Simulator?

Love the new setup! As a truck driver who drives a peterbilt with an 18 speed everyday i always spilt high range loaded

When people say SCS hasn't updated anything, then you come 2 years back and see how far they've come

That Raptor for sure crashed into that mountain 😹if it was irl and I love the sound of the truck. Can't wait to get a gaming pc and get to drive my peterbuilt again.

80,000 total if you have a over weight you can go to 83500 38.500--------44.000-------79.500 over load permit only 41.000----48.000---------83.500 max tractor fuel load

fun fact i saw life behinds wheel channel 2 days ago and subscribed, And suddenly i heared you saying about him crazy

As a real life truck driver, the maximum gross vehicle weight or GVW is 80,000 lbs. To find out before you get to the scales is to visit a loves, pilot flying j, or TA that has a CAT Scale there you can determine your weight before you get to the scales. Also alot of shippers are requiring you to scale before leaving with a load, so that you can be legal and therefore reduces the amount of take backs and reworks on freight being loaded onto trailers. If you are over on one axel say your drive tandems, or trailer tandems you have to adjust the weight accordingly to be within legal limits of the states you will be driving through.

Thats really cool I’m basically watching from cedar city Utah

YES MY MAN LIFE BEHIND THE WHEEL

New Wheel and Oats sounds like a pretty dope band

Wow the weel looks awesome 😍👌🌟 Hope everyone stay safe and well

Ive started watching life behind the wheel about 2 days ago, love his truck!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to everybody!

Love the content Jeff! Have a good day!

I just ordered myself an NRG Innovations wheel today (similar style just non wood grain), thanks for recommending them Jeff.

I'm feeling that black paint and chrome setup. Looks like I'm buying another truck and trailer.

Being from Utah I'm super curious to see how well this represents the area.

The only thing about Project Next Gen and Realistic Graphics Mod is the night skies are way too Stary. It kinda feels like you're trucking on the surface of the moon at night. But since you drive during the day, either is fine.

My dad drove for many years, over the road and logwoods and he would split the higher gears but not the lower that I remember

Great video. Love the truck and life behind the wheel is an awesome KZfaqr.

I watch his channel all the time too... Sweet truck he have High strong 💪

Mmm that Peterbuilt looks soooo good, hope everything goes smooth with the new wheel

Love your rig ice ride

Nice job Jeff didn't mean to offend with my splitting comments last vid. New wheel is AWESOME.

THE GRAPHICS HURT MY EYES!!! THERE SO GOOOOOOD

I wanna get this truck so beautiful!

That was another great video I enjoyed it another and I loved it and I love that Pete it looks really great and I love the new wheel as well that looks so awesome and keep up the great work man much love to you jeff have a good one take care god bless enjoy the rest of your week and I will see you on the next one

Hi jeff! I wish i had the step up that you have. But dont have the room. Love the videos and great work. Hope you are having a awesome day!

I love life behind the wheel

Awesome video, Jeff! Keep it up!

I found the Life Behind The Wheel channel 4 days ago and subscribed after seeing 1 video. I also received yesterday my wheel the Fanatec CSL Elite 1.1 wheelbase the CSL Elite WRC steering wheel and the CSL Elite pedals without the LC kit. My next savings will a cockpit as I want a better construction as the monitors are shaking while having the FFB too high. And of course a manual shift and I think the better pedals from Fanatec

When behind the wheel of a rig you got to have some Willie, Merle, or Waylon playing. It was virtually a law in my family.

Love it, watching videos all weekend to be a better driver ...all jokes aside man keep up the relaxing videos

also the way i drive my 389 is dont split the bottom just leave it in high till you get in the top side saves fuel

Hey Jeff love the video. Good work

That construction worker hammering away show definitely get a raise.😂

Yeah, I only split the the last two gears, its 13 speeds that are pain where you gotta be in low split to to go to the low box

super cool and i am watching 20 hours later

Day 2 of asking Jeff how his day was.

Hell Yeah, Cedar City!

1500 and like a second slower and those shifts will be gravy im driving the flb low top off the store ( love that truck ) going from 1st to 2nd in that nicely takes a minute man. Love the work jeff

That wheel is awesome 😍

You need to try that Australian mod for the TH8A the "Clixbeetle GT" it uses a 3D printed piece with stainless plates, ball bearings and springs to give you a tactile feel as you shift in and out of each gear. $50 and it is so worth it.

we don't have a general mills plant here that building your delivering to is Gen-Pack a plastics manufacturer

Home town 💪

Great video! Love watching

That engine sounds godly😍😍😍😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩

I've been using a xbox controller with ATS and its funny i keep thinking i'd love to have the heavy hauler box over things like a wheel and such, at least for now. Love your new wheel!

Mate your content is quality. Try game without ir and use the vr tool software to disable all oculus background stuff. I think track ir is a big problem ( have myself ). They need to do an update. Also you deserve lots of hardware ( I know you respect your viewers ), but you worked hard and deserve 😁

My dad drives western stars 18 gears in Australia

I live in Colorado can’t wait to see the update

Hey Jeff i want to tell u ur my fav yt u make me smile when I watch u

Beautiful truck

You should do a fright liner truck the 2020casadina

Love your videos there jeff

most drivers drive with out there shoes on it makes it easier to feel your pedals also like you said even in a 13 pseed I only would split if the load was heavy or going up a incline

my friend you dont miss the gear you just dont get the clutch down when you shift thats all :)

nice wheel

jeff is awesome i love all of his videos

love that truck, great video

fml that wheel is so gorgeous !!!!!

34:59 „it's rollin around the bend and i ain't seen the sunshine since i din't know when“ only Johnny C. Fans know

Keep up the good work!

Your videos are amazing 👍

Also being maxed at gross is a really heavy load, especially when you go over gross. Just some little tips on the weight works.

15 seconds ago I already know I'm gonna love it keep up the uploads you make everyone's days better

Am Jamaican and we Jamaicans split all gears no matter what the load is 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hi jeff, it's simple, make More these and i love your videos. nothing else

Hey Jeff can you do more vlogs plz. Stay safe

High Strung Nice.!

Would be cool if someone created a compatible Twin stick set up for this game and modeled it as well in game old school trucking Always near an dear to my heart

Cool wheel
