Just a tip. Test first in an automatic truck. Then to remove the restriction. All you have to do is the driving portion in the manual skipping the straight back, off-set and parallel portion you already did in your first time testing when your a new driver. Removing additional stress when first becoming a professional truck driver. 👍

Manual all the way. I started in an 8 speed then went to a 9 speed then a 10 speed. Then to an automatic. Now I'm going to a 13 speed manual. You have way more control over your load driving a manual vs an automatic. Just imagine backing up with a manual it backs itself all you have to do is steer. Backing with an automatic if you are backing up faster than you can steer and you lift your foot of the pedal just a little bit all of a sudden you are stopped. Backing up hill is magnified and run the risk of jerking your tractor trailer and slamming the dock. If your load isn't properly secured it can tip(especially van trailer) But to each their own everyone has there preference. No two identical trucks shift the same. Practice makes perfect.

Drove a redi-mix concrete truck since 76. 6 wlr. with a 5& 4, 20 speed. Was a pain in the arse on the road but great off the road. 6.5 yd. load limit. Over time, progressed to 8.5yd. limit. Best off road unit was an Osh-Kosh. Even with 8.5yds. on, they would go places that would bog down a tank. They were all wheel drive. Sweet memories now. 🙏😊🇺🇸

Interesting that everyone is quoting the “automatics come in clutch.” Without realizing it’s even funnier because it actually does have a clutch. Maybe not a clutch pedal, but those “automatic” trucks aren’t automatic at all. They are actually referred to as “Automated” transmissions. It’s a manual trans that shifts itself, and the clutch assembly it has weighs around 200 lbs.

@@mhoffmann1991 That’s interesting since I actively go to school to train for working on semi’s, and have taken classes on semi drivetrains. There was never a mention of automatic transmissions in a heavy duty truck. The instructor, who has only recently retired from the field and was there for 40 years, hasn’t even seen an actual automatic transmission in a HD truck. Also, being how the teaching material is actually written by manufacturers and doesn’t mention automatics, but automated transmissions, is interesting too.

You're simply informed. Auto transmission have clutches but not for the driver to operate, it's a very different kind of clutch. They don't change by themselves as you may think. It's a series of events that causes a shift. Eg engine speed and load, throttle position etc. Automatic transmission have gear train with helicol gears in a planet gear sets. Manual transmission have straight cut gear and syncronizers. Whoever said there's no automatic transmission simply don't know what they're talking about

The market is so up n down but it will change. It always does. Im very hopeful that taking a 190000 dollar loan to start my business was a great idea. Only time will tell. I stay out 3 weeks to a month before going home. If I went home often I wouldn't be doing good right now. But im free from shitty boses 😆 n im happy.

Oh. That 3000 a week is all my money. I put more in the company then I take home. Taxes are way less that way. So if make 6500 a week I take 3000. That's where I'm at now. Fuel is my biggest expense so when prices go back to normal I'll be killing it. Good luck brother. Trucking is great.

Around 1980, the forklift repair shop I worked for purchased a Chevy Titan 90 Cabover for transportation purposes. The truck had an V8-71 Detroit Diesel that was geared with a Fuller 13-speed manual transmission, and it ran strong. We bought the truck one day, I drove it around town to get the feel for it, and I went for my Class 1 driver’s license the next day. While out taking the driving test, the fella from the DMV asked me, “how long you been driving this truck?” I replied, “since yesterday.” His next question was, “how long you been driving without a clutch?” I replied, “since yesterday.” (Side note: I didn’t miss a shift even once on the test - the gears were singing a sweet melody!) I delivered forklifts around Southern California with that truck for a couple of years, and the only time the clutch was used was for stopping and for rolling out of a stop. Understanding how transmission shift forks slide synchronizing rings against the gears helps you to shift without grinding the gears or having the truck jerk around while under a load. Accelerate from a stop in low gear, and with just a LITTLE BIT of pressure on the stick shift (in the direction that the shift is being made), when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal to shift into the next gear, as the engine RPMS come down, the transmission practically shifts itself. Once the next gear clicks into place, stomp on the accelerator pedal, and repeat the process. This works for downshifting, too; it’s all in the engine RPMS synchronizing with the transmission RPMS. It’s one of those things that requires you to be on top of what you’re doing while you’re driving, but with practice, you can shift like it’s second nature, and the truck will sound like it has an automatic transmission! Bonus: clutches last far longer! I’ll take the manual stick for reliability and strength, with less cost on maintenance and repairs. Peace ✌🏻
