This is a good video, thank you!

Setting rev limiters at 1900 RPM is a good example of poorly thought out design that takes away control from the driver while not considering the safety issue created. The inability to out the truck back in gear past 1900 creates a dangerous situation where you will be unable to recover from a mistake or a mechanical problem. The best rev limiter is the driver. The machine is ignorant to the situation.

thats a 45 not a 90

Looking

Have never driven a truck and probably never will, but damn is this interesting

Thank you, this really helps me understand it better. But what I most want to know most is why on earth we have to put up with this. The Europeans have more powerful trucks that haul heavier loads on worse roads, but they have synchronized transmissions. Scania can take an engine producing 770hp and 3500 lb-ft and run it through a 16 speed that shifts like a car, but Eaton needs a SpEcIaL gearbox to get like 200 less horsepower and a thousand less torques to the ground. I don’t know, it just make Eaton seem a little dated. And lame. Like someone insisting the musket is just as good as the bolt action, if you “just know how to use it right.” Oh please.

Facts -- all the way..

That's my son's name

Wtf

Aint no stick in the floor ! You gone have a restriction on your license & D.O.T GONE MAKE YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL REAL DRIVERS TESTED OUT & Drive 13,15,&18 speed trucks super 10’s not basic 10speeds those are for rookies just saying Don’t knock the free game 😂

Deeeep

I think when people say " must be nice" they mean literally I wish I could be doing what you are

Same dude

They all look the fucking same

All truckers are white dudes?

I can get it in the box with 2 to 4 pull ups.

Thanks, forgot about that one on the ol’ bucket list

I married a trucker next month will be 21years married

So relate .. Big dreamers drive big rides

I went to Sage driving school in Binghamton ny in 2001

Getting ready to take a test, the issue is the "3 foot" section you have to stop in. You aren't allow to walk it off in back and then front to know where to stop, other then just "eyeing" it how do you ensure you don't over shoot or under shoot the spot?

Thank you for your video , I finally passed my skips test on 3/20 of last month, this 90 was the devil but got it !! I got my cdl and tanker endorsement!!!

I am a new CDL driver try to get a job with all my endorsements and companies don’t want to hire me because I have no experience…. How do you address that?

When you me quickly to the left you turn the at 9 o’clock then turn it to 12 o’clock

And more and more trucking companies are closing their doors every day.

There is no shortage of safe experienced drivers....they just can't keep them because the pay is crap. You'll make more working at McDonalds. Super long hours and they treat you like crap because they can always get some newbie to take your place....except they end up killing people !

Why would anyone want to drive a truck. It doesn't pay enough to sacrifice your license and everyone treats truck drivers like shit

There's never a driver shortage, only a pay shortage. Don't be fooled.

A truck driving job is the worst job I have ever had. I did it for a long time. Sitting in the seat of that truck steering it down the road for such a longperiod of time is not healthy. I mean day after day, week after week, month after month. And during down time you are so mentally tired from driving very few want too excersize. It is hard on a Marriage being gone for Months at a time. And then only being home for ten days and then gone again for months. The money can be decent if you are a owner operator. But you wont get rich with only one truck and you as the only employee.

Currently going through sage in Columbia sc my hardest things is remembering the word for word but through the most high I will learn this pre trip and schooling

He didn't mention the vehicle height

Rick, you are my hero! You are also my favorite pre-trip instructor! Thank you for making this so clear and seem possible to accomplish. You are an inspiration to us all. Your favorite 57-year-old female student 👩‍🎓!

This shit is hard.. I turned too early and didn’t kno that I could pull all the way back up. Glad I seen this video. I failed my test last week and take it again Tuesday, I pray I pass. We got this!

Good instructor. I'm about to start school at Sage in Pennsylvania
