I'm surprised to hear that you could haul a partially filled tank. Even with relatively small tanks in a pickup bed, the sloshing of the liquid makes it more difficult to drive.

9-13 is all u need, u just cant feel the liquid i assume , The only problem with 10 speed i got is . long UP Mountain ...Thats where u need to split 10 speed thats ALL !!!! if you dont pull 60k pounds---u dont need it

7:11 "We're doin' 30mileunauer"

@@mooraymachine5019 xdd I understand what he said but when you pointed it out it really sounds funny xd

Learning how to float through the gears as he did is actually pretty easy. It's a rhythm and you can pick it up pretty quickly. It's the downshifting that is harder to master. These transmission's are not synchronized. So you you can't push in the clutch and just drop it in a lower gear. So typically you only split 18th back to 17th and then you drop a full gear at a time. So you bring engin down to about a 1000 RPM's it's 450 RPM's between gears so when you come out of gear to down shift you have to rev the engine up to about 1450 RPM'S before it will go in gear. Your RPM'S have to match the speed for that gear

yea id say its way easier to float gears in a semi than in a car bc if the synchros. it took so many weeks of careful attempts in my pickup to float her gears. i floated gears in a semi the first time i ever tried. i promise its the easiest thing ever you have so much room to shift its so nice.

@@anthonyaubuchon765 yea exactly it. upshift floating? the easiest thing. downshift? floating? thats a true challenge for a man of experience. its hard enough to downshift with the clutch in, with the rev matching and all that but my grandfather makes downshift floating look like childs play

Not really once you master upshifting and matching the revs to the gear ots easey down shifting is a little harder but the truck will tell you when you can shift lol In a short time it becomes 2nd nature along with double clutching. This guy explained it preaty well

@@anthonyaubuchon765 Best comment that I have seen so far. These twin-countershaft transmissions do not have syncros except for the range and splitter, and those 2 are shifted by air. You must match up the speed of the input shaft to whichever gear that you are trying to go into.

I learned to drive trucks on a super 10. They're pretty cool cause you only gotta move shifter 5 times. I love it

15 speed overdrive. Over & back to 14th, then forward to 15th. Drive a cab over KW with a 892TTA, absolute weapon.

I’ve driven cross country in a passenger vehicle multiple times for work. Those drives instilled respect for truckers out there. Being away from family, dealing with bad drivers, weather, and cops constantly wanting to pull them over to rack up fines for ridiculous violations.

​@@covidBS4populationReductionNo shits it's almost like he's JOKING

Imagine back in the day when there were 2 sticks because of no splitter, how you had to deal with it, and to top it off no power steering and go back far enough no AC, and that no AC is a true deal for many real world local truck drivers and go back further they unloaded the truck as over the road drivers.

I think the same thing when I watch the how to fly a 747 videos.

This is the main reason I'm watching this the 6th time.

Only reason I’m here baby

It takes a little more lol.Unlike a car a truck will not go in gear unless it's the right rpm and road speed!Also u have to give it fuel when down shifting.

@@DoeZeo it’s because of how far away everything is and because American drivers are notorious for wanting nothing but a luxurious drive. It would be kind of a pain to row through gears everywhere you go when town is half an hours drive away, and it’s nice to just get in and go and not have to worry about what gear your car is in

Ever see the gears used on a big truck? Gears on a automobile are toys in comparison! Also, automatic transmissions use what is called a planetary gear system. The gears must be small, or the transmission would be enormous.

Agreed..and his mustache very american

Much nicer than the way my stepdad taught me. He took me to the top of a hill had me pull into a driveway for a radio tower. He then had me reverse out on to the road and would yell THERE'S a car coming. I think I dumped the clutch and killed it about 3 times trying to get into first and the fourth time I got it.

He just got his Commercial License and Cert. =) Now, for a job...

That's great! any job yet?

I’m in an apprenticeship to be an electrician. I agree that most people think that there’s not a whole lot of brainpower that goes into the trades but there’s so much damn math in learning how to bend conduit and DC and AC theory that I never used in any other job. The journeyman I worked with for the last 6 months was smarter than anyone I worked with in my office jobs.

Anthony Flournoy Exactly right. It may not be some glamorous, upper class job. But without these career fields our society would go down the drain pretty quickly. Some people may have degrees and be extremely smart in that particular “hands off” field of work. But plumbers and electricians know an actual hands on trade. And it’s just as valuable or commendable as any college degree.

Problem is trucks are becoming more automated and computer controlled, soon they will be self driving. Its a shame

Well there is an old saying that goes: “if you bought it, a truck brought it” it’s crazy how easy it is to overlook the fact that trucks keep the stores everyone shops at stocked with product for consumers to purchase. The people who look down upon truck drivers and tradesmen fail to realize that nobody else will keep stores stocked or at least as efficiently as truck drivers and nobody else will fix their toilets but plumbers when they break it by putting a turd too big down there. Perhaps if people and kids these days are exposed and shown the purpose and importance of these roles, and what these people go and can go through on a daily basis, not only would there be more of an understanding and more respect of how essential these people are, but maybe there wouldn’t be such a big shortage of new people in these industries in the United States.

@@mrwaltsuzz7556 the car my parents got me is a standard, but I did all my drive time for drivers ed on an automatic. So I learned both at the same time.

Little tip for everyone struggling with shifting: try playing Euro Truck Simulator 2. I drove with a 12-speed for a while and now it's just an automatic movement of my left foot and right hand, everytime I hear the rpms go too high

I can see the gross uncle Vin Diesel shifting his 19th gear he added to his tune setup:d

I just wonder how they put those gearboxes in those pony cars :-D

Don’t forget the many buses like ESP old school greyhound snd Crown built school coaches looking like hot dogs which, though just single stick initially - though eventually, Crown factory built buses got ten speed Fuller Roadranger transmission.

Just curious, I don't know much about trucks, but manual cars you have to use the clutch every time you shift ( pretty much) otherwise you fuck up the gears. So is there some weird reason you can shift clutchless in a big truck/lorry?Maybe something to do with the synchros or rpm?

@@tomahawkANDscopZ Some trucks don’t have synchros so the driver will have to Rev match each gear to allow a smooth gear change using the engine (hence no clutch for change and only when stopping and starting). I believe this is done so that the driver cannot accidentally overev the engine (think 4th to 2nd) as the results in such a large engine vehicle would be very damaging for the engine and components.

@@charliecollings2295 ahhh I see, thank you for the explanation.

@@tomahawkANDscopZ NP, as for cars, you can shift without clutch even with a common synchromesh gearbox, even if it is awful for your synchros (think only using it if your clutch went for example and you needed to get home). It’s all down to matching engine speed with that of the output shaft for the desired gear, assuring that the output shaft and desired gear are spinning at the same speed, allowing for a smooth gear change. A good example of a transmission that only uses clutch for stop and start in a car is a dog box, there are plenty of videos out there.

@@charliecollings2295 yeah, after reading your comment I went searching about it and found out about float shifting and such. Really interesting stuff honestly, I found a lot of truckers talking about it in forums and how they have different strategies for shifting in different situations.

@@ExtremiSS88 in the US we learn manual with our dads crying in the passenger seat.

@@nobodyimportant6851 Historically auto cars guzzled more gas than manuals, so people just didn’t buy them. That’s no longer so much the case, but they’re still more expensive to buy and repair and they also have a bit of an image problem - in Britain/Europe an automatic car is the last car you’ll buy before you pass away, kind of thing...!

Nowadays though, automatics are slowly replacing manuals in Europe. For example in my country, Finland, over 70 % of new sold cars are automatics while manuals account for a bit less than 30 %.

Because Manuals are too hard for them, and when they can't even develope a good manual gearbox.

When 10 gears or less will do lol

He’s got an o/o (owner operator) spec’d truck. Your average fleet truck like say swift doesn’t have all those gauges because those extra gauges add up when buying the truck. Over the span of 100+ trucks, not getting the extra gauges saves money. But on the other hand those extra gauges do help you keep an eye on your axle temps, braking pressure turbo boost, egt, fuel pressure, trans temp. Items you should be in the know about in case your starting to have trouble while driving down the road. So if you hear about a truck being o/o spec’d chances are it would have that many gauges in said truck verses when someone says a fleet spec’d truck. There are many differences between the two but from inside his cab it’s easy to see his is o/o spec’d.
