Try using your down hill assist . To use it just put the jake break at 1 and press the cruise control -button and the truck will hold which ever speed you want going down hill. If you’re really heavy suggest to put jake break at 2 to hold speed better.
@@chrisreeves9820 freightliners have a feature that makes the jakes much more powerful and holds whatever speed you set it to. Its Called hill decent control. It makes mountains a breeze
yeah both of them were very helpful. they could've just stayed in their truck and enjoyed their time off from probably working a 10-12hr shift (as a lot of truckers do) but instead they decided to help their fellow trucker. nice guys. I remember when I was a brand new trucker I had my headlight go out and had no idea how to change it. I went into the repair shop to ask them to change it for me and an old time trucker sitting in the waiting room came out, helped me buy the correct bulb and helped me install it. there's still a lot of good truckers out here
Set your cruise 6 mph lower than what you want to go and it will hold. My 2023 Cascadia handled 43k lbs like that all day out west. That and/or learn to use hill assist. Works really well.
lol if everyone drove like me the entire American economy would be at a slowdown because I drive SLOW. I like to say I drive like how grandpa walks. hahaha. but on a serious note yes I'm an overly cautious driver. I try to drive with 6 seconds following distance and with an opening in the lane to my left. I like the open space around me
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY I left the comment last night about you using your Jake brake more it would help you going downhill using your engine brake you wouldn't have to use your service brake hardly at all it must have got deleted lol
I have not even finished watching your video. I’m at the 15:56 point. Already very impressed with the fact that you are trying to park in that tricky space. Don’t even know if you made it…but I’m very very impressed. I sure hope I become that good of a truck driver one day! 😊
Manual and jake break is the way to do that terrain,not a fan of the automatic,can’t control your speed as well as manual and you ride brakes more ,but you made it safely that’s what counts 👍👍👍
I use my jake brake and switch it to manual if I need to. Don't wear out my brakes much at all. I have no problems controlling my descents in my automatic.
As far as automatics go, I've only used freightshaker 12's and 13's. There's nothing wrong with them for mountain work. Grab the manual override and it's a paddle shift. All the control you could possibly want. All of the principles are the same. It's physics. Weight be weight, gear reduction be gear reduction.
@@vincestone5465it’s really not too bad. I just started OTR and we cover everything east of Texas. I’ve been up and down these mountains in VA/WV a lot and you get a feel for it quick. Wintertime is a different story. I haven’t experienced that yet.
@brianbogan8499 just drove from Cali to PA fully loaded it's not that bad just drive slow and take it easy. Had to drive down i70 in Colorado with rain at night and snow during the day. Same thing in the mountains of PA on i80. It's scary but just take it slow and if there's no other vehicles nearby feel free to use both lanes to save your brakes a little work.
Actually not really, using your brake like that on a hill gonna cause to heat them up and then you won’t have breaks and gonna crash, the more better way is putting it into manual mode ( if it’s an automatic transmission) go to a low gear like 10-11 and use the jake break, that way you’re not using your breaks like this guy!
Fr! 💯 he's covered 2 of my fears if I become a our trucker, braking down hill and tryna park in a nearly full truck stop as I'm well aware trucks stops are to few in between. Not enough infrastructure to support truckers and forced to do creative parking.
Alex I enjoy your videos tremendously! I appreciate your conscientious driving and I actually got mad at your friend a few videos back when he yelled at you for using your turn signal in a truck parking lot! I used to have my grandkids laugh at me for the same thing and I would tell them my job was to let everyone know what my vehicle was going to do. I yell at drivers myself who get in to the turn lane on an interstate and a few feet from the actual exit flip on their turn signal for a couple of blips before they actually turn! Love your videos, your meals, your life goals and I’m envious of your youth because I want to be like you! Praying for your safety with every mile you travel
I know what you mean when drivers flip their turn signal on last second when taking an exit. then they just slam on their brakes effectively brake checking you. I learned to just take it slow and keep 6 seconds following distance. that way if they do that it won't matter to me because I'm so far back
1:38 As someone who lives and drives these roads in West Virginia, I definitely do appreciate it Alex! I'd rather be driving behind/ beside a trucker taking it cautiously down these mountains than those who are going 80+.
Yo! I just seen your 5 min advertisement lol I didn't know u shot a advertisement with GP. I'm like, "Hold on...Is that Alex?!?" Lol nice seeing u doing things like that brotha. U and RWD are inspirations. Keep it up and never stop man. God bless you and every trucker out there!
I just started trucking (still in training) and I was just in this road yesterday with 75k under me. It’s intimidating but manageable. The problem is the other drivers not respecting the cushion up front and making things more stressful.
What you did at 4:04 is really bad… you can get into an accident like that. I know it gets annoying dealing with 4 wheelers all day but you should have just let him pass. A lot of cars will happily accelerate and get into an accident in a situation like that and then come the lawsuits. Be careful out there.
Did something similar going through Vail pass loaded with 44k, did five under, and had my engine brake ripping down it didnt have to use my brake much at all.
Hey Alex, I was in South Carolina yesterday waiting to deliver, the middle bay was clear, this cop pulled in the spot, this not-so SWIFT driver just backed in without paying attention and crunch! I have it all on video too! I was late for my delivery, I was laughing so hard!
Hey Alex, I am a new subscriber and have recently watched your adventures you have been on all around the United States you have inspired me to get my CDL license as well hope you keep up the great videos and safe travels
Look up how to use hill decent control on the freightliner. Keeps you at whatever speed you set down the grade. The jakes are much more powerful this way.
That's your differential oil temp not your brake temp. If your braking is affecting it they are way to hot. Plus ambient temp will affect it. But that is normal operating range.
Bring it under 50 where the truck is on 9th gear so the jake brake grabs that 3rd gear and you won’t have to use your brakes almost none I went through idaho lookout pass at 79k and barely had to use my brakes
I drive that route pretty much every week, and please don’t use the break pedal that much, is not necessary 😅 Just keep a good speed, downshift before curves and you’ll be good and also just in case that you go to that truck stop again if you just make a u turn, you will be line up to the spot, you don’t need to set up from the scale…
You shouldn't tap your brakes like that man! Find the gear you need, engine brake and tap the accelerator to maintain speed! And the parking was easy just like the guy told you man, I don't know if you did it for show or what but avoid blind side parking as much as you can! Remember, find the right gear going down and in most cases is the same gear you used to go up! Keep it up, good work....
The mountains of West Virginia are steep and long...It is a challenge in 4 wheelers, I cannot imagine the challenge it must be to drive with 18 wheels.
Bro engine break on 2 cruise on 50 if it goes above 57 hold break till it goes down to 40 and on a steep hill push the gear selector down to lower the gear to gain momentum up hill again
actually you should use your brakes only for emergency and for a full stop. use your jake\engine brake or retarder if you got one. the less you use the brakes you keepp them and dont need to risk or replace them
Yeah I know that road it’s not fun they were fixing a wall last time someone rolled a truck you can see the scrape from the roll and damage to the wall separating both sides. Yeah lol I parked at the pilot there most of them are reserved 😂 by 3pm it’s full usually
22yrs of OTR, the LotLizards didn't like my security system, for some Odd reason or other they didn't like my 100lb Rottie with an attitude about strangers around HER truck......
@@RiverRatWA57 hhaaaa yea man that will keep everyone away. I'm just messin with the kid. He does need to get a Radio though. I sent it past him in MN not to long ago, it was Deff him, he really should have a radio even if it's a cheap cobra, everyone should have something
That's why you should be in manual mode for full control of jakes and gear selection, don't let the truck think for you. It's safer and better for the truck to use manual mode for jake brakes.
@@johngaudet6316 - I was pretty green when they put me in my first automatic. I honestly don't think anybody ever pointed out how you could manually select a gear. As long as the driver is in control of it, that's all that really matters.
Hey Alex you inspired me to become a truck driver , I want a hat and shirt that say GO!! GO!! , like the way you say it to your truck when you getting on the freeway and it’s going too slow😂😂 but keep trucking big homie love and peace
Just want to say awesome content! Love the backing! ;) I have only been driving for 3 weeks solo on my dedicated route, So pretty much a brand new driver lol! Downhills kinda freak me out a little lol! I have a few 6% grades. Do you ever use the cruise control to just hold you downhill? 65mph I usually set my cruise to 51mph and it holds me at 55 mph. I also use the stab breaking "on the break until 5mph under my safe speed" and then release as you said.
Great video, I have taken an interest in trucking, and I have decided to pursue it. Your videos give me insight as to what life on the road looks like. I have a question though, why don't truck and trailers have tech like reverse cameras and parking sensors considering the fact that these vehicles are large and difficult to maneuver especially with a trailer attached? one would think tech like these would be more beneficial to trucks than cars.
Looks like the 1970 with an engine brake struggle with 77000. My scania with its retarder + enginebrake will hold 120000 on a 7%slope with no struggle ad all

Hi how's it going watching from Broomfield Colorado
In freightliner cascadia you can set the cruise control whit the engine brake and the truck won’t catch much speed
Try using your down hill assist . To use it just put the jake break at 1 and press the cruise control -button and the truck will hold which ever speed you want going down hill. If you’re really heavy suggest to put jake break at 2 to hold speed better.

I did basically the same thing, did OTR in the lower 48, I'd go slower and much more cautiously in the winter.
Alex you're one of the most cautious truck drivers I've ever seen a lot of truck drivers can learn something from you it's a good thing
lol if everyone drove like me the entire American economy would be at a slowdown because I drive SLOW. I like to say I drive like how grandpa walks. hahaha.

No he’s a hazard lol
Amazing I like the fact that you stay safe and not allow the traffic around you to dictate your safety.
The right lane going up is the truck climbing lane. Always get over in those and you must turn on your 4-ways going 45 or less
I was getting butterflies watching you drive down that mountain road. It was so nice of that gentleman to help you park.
2 months into my trucking career and Ive done this everyday. 80,000 in a truck not geared for hills. It's an art that I'm still learning
How you doing on your parking 2 months in?
I have not even finished watching your video. I’m at the 15:56 point. Already very impressed with the fact that you are trying to park in that tricky space. Don’t even know if you made it…but I’m very very impressed. I sure hope I become that good of a truck driver one day! 😊
Yes, I’ll never forget my time on Donners Pass and The Cabbage Patch, ugh!! Just use those jakes and stay safe!!

@@antigravity1669 not at the mega fleets

You just went thru my biggest fear of becoming a trucker: fully loaded coming down a mountain. But thank you for showing how its done. ❤

I’m from WV but live in Ohio now. Love it when you ride through, makes me smile and think of home!
Next time your blindside parking, remove the window shade from the right side sleeper window, you can see perfectly thru the window. FYI 😊
I drove through there recently the mountains are no joke couldn’t wait to get out of there
I started trucking school and we breen covering the breaking method for going down hills . It’s cool to see it put to action
WoW Alex ! I would have white knuckles , Yikes! I Thanks for taking us along and showing us how its done. Keep Safe, Healthy and Happy 😊🙏✌
Hey Alex, you're basically in my backyard Virginias and Carolinas. I got my new truck up to 79 two days ago, Monday I have a surprise for you.

He should be fired for that, that is straight up road rage right there, using his truck as a bully weapon.
good job Alex you are one heck of a operator
Why didn't you let the truck pass on your left at 4:03 and drove him off the road?
Just saw GPs feature on you. Great segment, and you really laid it out there!
It's not bad when the hill is dry.
Its more exciting when its cover with snow an ice..

Hope everyone’s had amazing day and always have a wonderful night keep up the hard work and be safe on the road Alex
I'll park there....what they gonna say?? The sign read "no parking"
Keep up the good travels Alex!
I live near Clarksburg WV. Go down a hill 1 gear lower than you went up it.👍 here
Flick the engine brake on mate and roll down it
Alex try using your engine brake it can help you keep the speed you want going downhill and then you only have to tap your service break now and then
Excelente parking Alex !! Muy impresionante ! Saludos y que tengas buen fin de semana ! 🚚
if he doesn't know what differential temp gauges are, pretty certain he also wears sandles. his lane departure alarm goes off way too often.
He's a newbie.
Was the savings of $15 really worth all that bull shit?
Damnit boy just watched that gp transco truck driver highlight....👍👍👍👌👌☕congrats homie
When I was learning to back into a parking spot. My dad would always say... you'll know when you hit it. lol
Alex i am a big fan of your channel. Love all your commentary. I've started saying, C'mon man all the time since i started watching you.
Nitro West Virginia. I will never stop there again. Absolute nightmare of a parking lot after 530
“STAB” is the term you’re looking for in regards to the on, off maneuver with the brakes.
Unless you're in the eastern panhandle, West Virginia is pretty much all up one hill then down another.
So stressful! I would be the same way about paying for parking. It is not the $15, it is the principal of it.
Fancy gap !! Fun stuff. Takes like 2 and a half hrs to get thru that mess at that weight.
Never say sorry to swift 😂😂😂😂
You my good sir are in west Virginia turnpike know for the hills and downhills but WAIT TILL you drive the Colorado mountains in the snow
Good job ! Stabbing brakes , be safe!
Bring it under 50 where the truck is on 9th gear so the jake brake grabs that 3rd gear and you won’t have to use your brakes almost none I went through idaho lookout pass at 79k and barely had to use my brakes
I'm trucking school now and the slow it down 5 mph is actually taught.
What school your at and what kind of drug testing they do?
I drive that route pretty much every week, and please don’t use the break pedal that much, is not necessary 😅
Just keep a good speed, downshift before curves and you’ll be good and also just in case that you go to that truck stop again if you just make a u turn, you will be line up to the spot, you don’t need to set up from the scale…
Very Good backing video Alex great job
West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee have a ton of hills like that. Be careful!
Lol, I would love to see this dude drive Western regional routes and real mountain grades.
In the uk the trucking company pays for the parking… well you pay it and then the company pays you back 😂
You shouldn't tap your brakes like that man! Find the gear you need, engine brake and tap the accelerator to maintain speed!
And the parking was easy just like the guy told you man, I don't know if you did it for show or what but avoid blind side parking as much as you can!
Remember, find the right gear going down and in most cases is the same gear you used to go up! Keep it up, good work....
The mountains of West Virginia are steep and long...It is a challenge in 4 wheelers, I cannot imagine the challenge it must be
to drive with 18 wheels.
Maybe they should start putting bathroom and showers in semi trucks. Wet bath
Looks like you’re on I-64. That’s a fun ride …. 😰 … you could’ve stopped in Beckly WV and showered.
Dude. . . Just pay for parking 😅 Sometime you gotta just eat it.
I knew it, cause it looks like the mountains of home,just hold on. Godspeed.
Please stay safe and keep well Alex 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Bro engine break on 2 cruise on 50 if it goes above 57 hold break till it goes down to 40 and on a steep hill push the gear selector down to lower the gear to gain momentum up hill again
Nah put that shit on 3
Use the decent control on that shaker
there goes a spot next to swift over by the scale
I wave at every GPTransco truck in hopes it’s you lol I’m finishing my training and will be getting a truck from my company this weekend.
actually you should use your brakes only for emergency and for a full stop.
use your jake\engine brake or retarder if you got one. the less you use the brakes you keepp them and dont need to risk or replace them
Alex.. if u went another 5 miles, u would have come to a ta.. with better parking and food than that pilot.. that pilot is ALWAYS a mess
I just used jake brake fully maxed and it work for me.. it maintain the speed and if I need I used brake

That is for trucks with drum breaks they will catch fire.
