I'm starting my first job after passing my CAT C licence soon and it's in a manual truck. I'm quite apprehensive due to only learning and doing my test in an auto, but this video has explained alot and makes it look less daunting. Thank you

Hi Hayley, this video is spot on as I have just passed my class 2 in an auto and you can bet your bottom dollar that my first driving job will be in a manual.

What a great tutorial on the use of a 4 over 4 gearbox. Importantly you demonstrated the importance of making progress in a road situation. I think your teaching/lecturing skills have and will stand you in good stead. I further suggest that K Transport have trainer/mentor in the making. Perhaps future videos could feature: Roadcraft, drivers hours, more advanced tacho use and safe loading. Almost DCPC stuff. Very enjoyable!

Good luck for your test Rob! Slow and steady, take your time & you'll be fine. Assume every traffic light will turn to red on the approach. It's also better to get a minor for 'hesitating' on a roundabout than a fail for cutting somebody up. Let me know how it goes? :)

Had forgotten you'd done this video until I did a KZfaq search. I had an assessment in a manual class 2 tanker this week. Dude was like we're going out in a manual. I'm a new pass, so never used one and it's my 1st assessment after passing. He talked me through it, passed my assessment, just need more experience with the gearbox. Glad to say I've got the job an all. Watched your video and it kind of makes sense now I've had a short time (1 hour) using the 4 over 4. Your video will help for when I start with the company, I can relate back to it. I've got someone with me for the 1st few days anyways to give me help and guidance

Great video. I have the same gearbox in my truck. And I'm pulling a trailer once or twice a week. It is 2 ton payliad weight and the truck carries mostly 3 ton and the lower 4 gears come into play. Mostly the truck alone I'm using the gearbox like you are now. Watching your review counter is a good tool so you run the engine in the desired torque band

The cutting out is a rev limiter It is a system where to stop you revving past a certain point and damaging the engine . Excessive revs will cause whats called valve float where the valves cant open and close fast enough and risk coming into contact with the piston then blowing up the engine . Excellent video by the way . Easily the best example of showing an 8 speeder . Easily cpc quality . Hope to meet you on the roads in and around walsall and the black country as im very local :-)

@UKPrepperman 3 жыл бұрын

Although I'm just starting my truck training; you can hear that the engine seemed more happy with the block changing and seemed to pull better. Guessing more effective with the torque and turbo kicking in at lower revs. The cut-out is maybe a torque limiter? Less gear changes would probably mean less wear on the clutch too . Nice smooth driving, Good vid

@bostedtap8399 4 жыл бұрын

Very interesting, great photography showing gear change, I've heard of Tall gears, but never Longer ones 🤔. It's my understanding that truck engine's have a narrower rev range, (engine RPM), and the same with the Torque (torque is what does the work to accelerate, power keeps it there) requiring closer gear ratios. Good to see Wolverhampton from the cab 😀 MotoGP is back yippee!!!!!. Stay safe and thanks for sharing. Regards John.

@@TruckDriverHayley yes, great to have some top 2 wheel sport at last. I have heard a motorcycle or car refered to as having long legs, ref where engine RPM is low compared to a high top speed, probably from an athlete having long legs and slow cadence. The opposite is having short legs, and running out of breath or short of breath when an engine does not ref to a high value...confusing or what 😰😰😰😰. With regard to having a gearbox, manual or automatic the low ratios ( 1st, 2nd etc), on a car, truck or any internal combustion engine (ICE), the gearing magnifys, or in increases the torque from the engine ( measured in Newton metres or Lbs Feet), the power (measured in kilowatts or Brake Horse Power (BHP), or PS ( German horse power) is always the same, it never changes. I'll go back to sleep now. Brmm, Brmm. Regards John.

I believe the “loosing power” thing is a rev limiter to prevent the engine over revving. I’ve driven a van that did a similar thing if you didn’t get out of first pretty quickly, from memory I think it was an old shaped Vauxhall Movano.

Hayley .. you've come a long way in a short time and now 'using them as you need them' ...... next experience will be adding a splitter (probably on your class one artics) doubling the amount of gears ...... You'll do it with practice I'm sure ...... The engine 'cutting off' is it reaching its governed rpm - the same as revving it flat out whilst standing still ...... On the 'overun' (say going down a hill loaded in a lower gear) never let the engine go past its governed rpm .... serious engine damage due to 'overspeed' can occur .... Nice to see you back on the road .... Kind regards.

@alexwild4350 4 жыл бұрын

Hayley, when skipping gears as you go up or down the gearbox, that's called Block Changing. Applies to cars, lorries and motorcycles. Gearboxs which soon run out, or only last a few metres, are generally called Close Ratio Gearbox. There isn't much difference between one gear and the next. That's why you end up skipping gears cause its not worth the effort of using them all, but it gives the ability to closely match the engines revs to given road conditions. On the A27, can't remember if its the Hangleton Interchange, there is a roundabout onto a steep downhill on ramp to the A27. In a Luton van it can just manage to go 1st straight into 6th skipping the entire box. Only possible with Sir Issac Newton's help. Automatic gearboxes are actually Torque Converters.

Once drove an ERF with 16 gears. So complicating I had to go with their driver for a test run before taking it on the road... alone! One driver , a few weeks later blew the gearbox as he couldn't get the hang of it and drove in a low gear on the motorway.
