no matter how good you are. do not switch gears in a turn, especially in the snow. You have 40,000lbs that wants to go straight, you need power to pull it through the turn. I pull 5 axle trailers like 90,000lbs and it will push you and put you into a jackknife if you roll/coast through a turn. Bad habit to get in switching gears in a turn

I could float gears fairly well and one day on a trip from Maine to Alabama, the clutch went out on the FL Classic I was driving just before the border of Maine and I had to get the truck and 53 reefer back to the shop... All the way, No Clutch at all, shut down at every full stop, start in gear and float every one, up and down, in traffic and pulling hills too. 10 days experience in a 13 speed. Previous truck was a 10. No problem.

Very few canadians have there driving videos mostly all you tube videos are USA drivers. Good to see Canadian showing thing or two to all new drivers like myself.

good morning ray am moses watching from africa uganda 🇺🇬

Idk but he is fun too look at an explain this trucking gear stuff

Excellent driving, but I have a question. In my 48 years of driving I have never shifted with the Jakes on. It can mess up your shifts and wreck stuff real quick. In my recent job I was given a Peterbilt 379 with a Cummings engine, and too my complete surprise I could shift with the Jakes on. They have a small delay in the Jakes that allows this, but in most engines, I don't think it is a good idea. Shut the Jakes off. I do downshifts with the Jakes on. BTW, I pull Super B flat decks with heavy steel loads and I often start off in low gear, and I sometimes split some of the low range gears. It's easier on the engine and saves fuel.

Does anyone else think he looks like Carlton from fresh prince of bel air? 😂🤷🏽‍♂️Seriously tho.

thanks for the video, I m a student in bc. your show might help me shift drive better. and thanks for your tips on how to pass driving test.

Good job👏🏽 be careful in the snow and stay safe 😎

I watched few of your videos you are good bro

This is redicurous amazing thanks men...Am in love with heights master of the road.😘😘😘

Don"t let the manufacturer know you"re floating an R/ Ranger, warranty will be dishonoured, generally floating any Eaton or similar box does cause extra wear on shafts , gears and synchronisation normally having friction stress removed by half depress of clutch. Eaton specifically state in manual, do not do clutchless gear shifts! There is a good reason for this, life of transmission and damage albeit inadvertent when a shift goes wrong! Having said that i I have been known to clutchless shift! But with three and four trailer roadtrains (140 ton plus) we run here in Australia I would be ultra carefull with any RR under the high torque and weight loads imposed on a drive train under these conditions. The gearbox was designed for the use of a clutch, otherwise buy an auto. Jus sayin'

I do floating all the time. Much eaier. Use the clutch during first acceleration.

Good driveing bro be safe

Now that's some trucking

Thanks for your video's good help.gracias por tus videos son de mucha ayuda para mi.👍

hi Trucker Ray, do you have any information how can I go to canada as a semi driver or know of any companies who would sponsor me to go there.

I’m in Detroit and I’m a cdl a driver

Do you have any tips on how a Jamaican trailer driver can get employment in Canada.

👍👍👍

homeboy says its snowing using jakebreak? rookie

Cascada 😂😂😂😂😂

why my driving school instructor told me use double time clutch to shift gears

so you only use splitter down when you down shift but not when going 4 th to 5 low and then 5 high?

At wat rpm do you shift

Which RPM is good for floating gears

Akmed! Your not talking aboutb13 speeds! Your doing other shit... I figured mine out the 1st day no help.

Do you always have to use the glutch when ur higher then 3rd?

Hi brother how you 🌟🌟🌟👍🇨🇦🌟🌟🇨🇦🇨🇦

Those who drove a semi truck and make videos for you tube at the same time should be prosecuted and your license should be revoked! You're a danger for the public! Your attempt to gain KZfaq followers and fame isn't more important than safety of others driving around you!

If you guys wants to float, just drive an automatic truck instead of damaging gears. You guys are a liability to the company.

U all over the place confusion

U need to learn how to teach
