This is the best ever. All videos I watched and the instructors taught in a confusing manner. This guy makes everything very simple and clear. I will try it tomorrow. Thank you.
I learned double clutching in school, when I started working for a trucking company we were required to learn how to float the gears. They had a problem with new drivers damaging the clutches in the past.
I'm currently in CDL school, I'm really struggling with clutch control shifting and just learning the basics. This was my 3rd weekend I only go Saturday and Sunday. There's to many students not enough instructors. So don't get to practice much. Double clutching is rough...
The problem I’m having in school is that the rpm I need is always changing depending on the grade I’m driving on. It’s hard to remember all of it. On my study sheet for upshifting I’ve got add on 100 to 200 for uphill. So let’s say 1st to 2nd is 1200 rpm, uphill would be 1400 rpm. 5th to 6th is 1600 rpm, uphill is 1800 rpm. And for going downhill with an upshift I have to take away 200 rpm. So 3rd to 4th is 1400 rpm, downhill I’d take off 200 rpm so it’d be 1200 rpm. That’s for upshifting. For downshifting I’ve got 1200 to 1300 rpm going uphill 1100 rpm on level ground And 1000 rpm going downhill. But wait there’s more, Before my shift going down a grade it says to have my rpm’s at 1000 before my shift, but for gears 1, 2, and 3 have it at 800 rpm for my shift. That’s downshifting going downgrade. Basically all the rpm’s for upshifting and downshifting are all different depending on the grade of the road. Uphill, downhill and level ground. Also on my study sheet it says if I’m at idle then it’s no rev at all for downshifting. So I’m confused as fuck to say the least. And I have to call out everything I’m doing while I’m doing it while I’m trying and try to do all this at the same time. It’s not easy at all.
That downshift kicking my butt right now in school... I'm out here in Gary indiana at 160 driving academy... almost ready to graduate but thanks for ya video
Clutch, rev, clutch,shift, left turn signal, hazards, rev, roll down the window, x3 and you got it 🤷♂️ Seriously I don’t understand why you can’t just hold the clutch to shift into gear like a car
Are we talking about vintage / classic trucks here ? I know nothing about trucks but i can tell you that farm tractors moved to synchromesh in the 1980s. The old 'crash box ' was fine for fieldwork where you might be in the same gear all day, but totally unsuited for roadwork
When you’re shifting up, don’t try to bang it into gear. Push the shifter until you feel the gears meet, then kind of slide it in. They will mesh when they hit just the right RPM. So if it’s around 1500, keep some pressure on the stick and it should slide into gear when it’s ready. Don’t get frustrated and bang on it, it might go into gear that way but it ain’t good for the equipment. Best of luck, you’ll get the hang of it!
after driving auto boxes for 5 years started with a another company all manual gearboxes. wish you all the best it come to you mate just some patience mate you'll make it. this video had some great tips always learning. safe trucking.
There’s nothing confusing about it. I hadn’t driven a manual shift car in a decade, got in one in the UK, of all places, nary a problem double clutching. You do need to match RPM and road speed even with synchronized gears
Let me tell you some rookie. If you use if you have to use attack and the clutch to shift gears. Go find yourself another job. Use the clutch once when you first take off never use it again until you stop. If you have to use a tach quit driving.🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️. Second grade two years before you ever touch that clutch. Pitiful. It's all by ear and your foot will tell you when this shift.
This is ridiculous, driving a truck with manual transmission should be just like a regular car with manual... in Europe, their trucks has synchronize manual transmission, believe or not... but, anyway, thanks to God that now all the trucks are automatic, for safety as well.

Thanks I’m watching your video after my first OTR training session with CDL school and this is very helpful to me

!!!!!! Same, minus the students/instructors parts
Well explained keep up the good work
I can drive howo because of you lesson sir, keep up the good work
I like your explanation very encouraging 😅❤❤❤❤

And 1000 rpm going downhill.

I feel ur pain
bro😭😭😭😭 I feel ya pain
This is a fantastic video!

Graduated and work for knight now bruh... lol but I figured out how to float and that saved me alot 😅...
160 is the way to go
Good for you bro, I thought I was the only confused about down shifting@@G360-s6b

How to shift the gear in up hiil position?
Downshift as you approach
I tried this procedure but still missing the gear I don't know if I was nervous

More than clear 💙
Am interesting know how is drive howo.thank you
Good instructor well explained
Bro thank you! No one has explained it to me like that before
Do the sweet spots change from truck to truck or are they all the same?
Great job thanks 🎉
Thank you for your help
I will never understand why double clutching is taught in trucking school. Float all day. This double clutching confuses new drivers.
The government wants us to to pass the cdl test ..I got mine in this month . Now i need a job ..I am in MD ..
I float all day to brother 🤝

I got my Non-Syncro Licence today! This video is excellent! Gives me the theory better
Great video.
Good teacher
At what rmp should i shift when fully loaded so truck doesn’t lug
1500-1800 for upshifting, 1100-1300 for downshifting is what I use.
Thank you
Well explained
❤good one
Good instructor
When I try to shift. It grind. I shift on 8 to 900 rpm.
too early
Send me a video of engaging reverse gear
Good lesson but throttle control is crucial for consistent shifting..bump or farmer shifting is messy and lazy
❤❤❤
MERCI
Credit to CDL college for original video
Good..i want to now how to drive howo truk..from Tz
Good instructions
It's actually about 400 rpm
praticamente la stessa tecnica per lavorare con il cambio fuller
Pero ese es el color de el
Float them. Double or single clutch or float - all the same - SYNCHONIZATION is all that matters.
Good one
Again avoid 😮 looking at the gauge 😮😮😂😂
👉 🏆🥇

Hello sir
Nice inxtractor
Well good luck with this prewar technology🤣🤣
This is NOT your video!!
STOLEN FROM A CDL SCHOOL IN COLORADO!!
What clutch🤣🤣🤣

Foutez le camp , je cherche un 13 vitesse , nik mok
All manual transmissions should be eliminated
I agree this is to much and downright dangerous I’ll never look a tracker trailers the same I’ll move over and let them pass
For dummies that don't comprehend how to drive a manual, no thanks I'll keep my 18 speed.
And those who are too lazy to switch gears should stay at home. People go stupid over time.
