Yes not yelling at student or you not gettting worked up helps the students alot. Im in school now struggling with double clutch and them getting fired up dosent help. I will say also my bad habits dont help either i wish i never drove stick cause its hurting me now. I have to break the bad habit keep shoving clutch all way down and keeping had on shifter bad habits.
I got my license too but reading your comment reminded me of my expierence I ended up switching schools because of it not everyone is meant to teach @@lammy9733
I'm having this same struggle right now during training. We just got out on the road for the first time this week. These videos really help explaining the correct procedures.
I am learning everything about upshifting and downshifting. I started driving on the street recently. I am a student with FedEx freight. I feel my upshifting is good as the truck gains speed. When I start with low gears at the lights or stop signs I grind all kinds. I have subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing and the tips.
I’m an instructor out in LA, man do I understand this guy. PATIENCE IS KEY! Also, I’ve learned a lot from watching his videos on how to explain to students how to double clutch, down shift and where their rpm’s need to be.
Once you get 8-12 months under your belt this procedure will become smoother n more natural I am speaking of my own experience I had a super instructor He said relax and listen to me he said you will do this correctly because I can trane any one remember practice practice no one learns at the same pace as your buddy study that shift pattern until you can visualize it in your mind these trucks are not synchronized like a modern car that is what the double clutch method is about remember the accelerator Or foot feed and clutch do not go together or you will grind gears which is dangerous and can break teeth or cogs off the gears timing your shift movements is critical never take eyes away from road n mirrors the stick and pedals are not leaving the cab you shift by sound n feel that is how I was taught he put tape over the tachometer and said listen to the engine and feel what the vehicle is communicating to you threw the wheel floor n stick when I drove for consolidated freight ways they did not equip their trucks with tachometers or power steering Always start out in the lowest possible gear until you get comfortable and when you do hang up your gloves and quit then surrender your license back to the state because you are dangerous seriously you never want to get comfortable with one of these 40 ton death traps it will know and say to itself now I’m going to kill him or her you don’t play with me buddy
Wow you are so patient my instructor through his head at me and it went right out the window that's how pissed he was LMFAO 🤣 NOW I DRIVE AN 18 SPEED KW 👍
Currently in CDL school and I’ve only gotten into R, 1st, and 4th on the semis here. I’m ready to shift well and control my truck next week on the road!
I think my main problem on down shifting is idk wen to start down shifting so by the time I get to the light I’m rushing myself to downshift to 6 but I end up in 7th gear I just don’t wana drive too slow cus I know driving to slow is impeding traffic
@@ACETruckKing sounds good my friend so i should just stay in 7th if i feel like i wont have enough time to get it into 6th ... if my vehicle does not completely stop becus the light turns green when i get to the intersection can i continue forward without stalling the engine in 7th gear ?
Dios bendiga tu paciencia, eh cogido clases con varios instructores y en ves de ayudar te ponen más nerviosos, gracias por tus vídeos son de gran ayuda.
I think it’s useful to explain the WHEN and WHY, about why they shouldn’t push the clutch all the way down. It’s because the clutch brake is used when coming to a stop or starting from a stop, when moving the gears need to be moving, so you don’t push the clutch all the way down while moving because it stops the gears, you push all the way down when the vehicle is not in motion.
I had the same problem last week of depressing the clutch to deep on the 10 speed transmission as our 18 speed had a very high clutch and it broke down. I watched your video on a student who started badly but recovered well. It helped me in terms of recovery from (1) Downshifting (2) recovering from lost gears(3)Being in control of the vehicle. Thanks 🙏🏽
Once you master the shifting up and down the down shift is more important than the up shift my instructor use to say he wish he had a way to put us behind the wheel at highway speed in top gear and then start the training But once you learn you can operate without the clutch in level terrain not hill country or mountains bobtailing or empty trailer I take off in 3rd go to 4th pull-up the range valve go to 6th 8th then 10th and the same on the down shift practice practice practice the 10 speed is excellent it can be your best friend don’t be afraid to apply yourself with other gear boxes as well hone all of your skills with pride backing and turning a good way I discovered to learn skip shifting is on a old Mack R model with a 5 speed maxi torque if you can find someone to illustrate that concept you really got to drop those RPMs to shift it is slower starting out takes more planning on driving style good for the city you do not down shift these more then one gear 5th to 4th a completely different driving style to much down shifting on these can mess up the up shifting but a very rugged triple counter shaft gear box worth learning and can help with skipping gears on a multi speed progressive shift transmission think positive on all your training crave it embrace it respect it and your self smile in the mirror everyday prettrip your self every day as well as your equipment take care of your physical and mental health you run the truck do not let this job run you
@@ACETruckKing I bet you do! I've got 42 years experience on synchronized transmissions, to include performance cars and stock cars and now in week 2 of driving at CDL school. Soooooo different and so many habits to break/relearn new ones. LOL Driving the "struggle bus."
At the end of the video you asked him why he is giving it gas , since I am just starting truck school I know why he was doing it , when you downshift you rev up a little into the next lower gear , since he knew he had to rev up to downshift he was doing that , the problem was he was still in the higher gear
Manny Silva his problem was that he was giving gas after he downshifted to lower gear. You should gas only while on neutral to engage the next lower gear.
I struggled with the concept of clutching vs brake-clutching. Instructor never explained what the clutch-brake was (he never even called it a clutch-brake, I only learned that here, thanks). All he said was 'don't push the clutch in too far.' Then when I did that at the traffic lights he said 'clutch all the way in.' So I was left not understanding how the clutch mechanism worked. Very frustrating to learn here that my instructor never even mentioned it, just got annoyed with me when I was 'doing it wrong.' Thanks for the vids.
Randell Carter Thanks for commenting. Check out this video for shifting tips ruclips.net/video/V9-Z5-Bu2pQ/видео.html Low gears you can start shifting at 10 rpm high gears start at 13 rpm. Keep the same 2 second count.
Tienes mucha paciencia. Muchísimas gracias por tus vídeos . Aprendo mucho al verte. Sigue adelante. Eres muy bueno en lo que haces. Admiro tu dedicación y todo lo que haces al compartir tu conocimiento!
Your awesome bro I have my behind the wheel next Thursday (Wednesday Now) I don’t know much about stick and although I’m confident I’ll make it through Pretrips, couplings ,brakes, and skills I’m nervous about the actual 30-45 cruise getting graded on shifts . I have a week to get it though it’s going to be all Good studying these videos Salud Pri🍻🔥
My drive test tomorrow...how do I downshift coming off highway? Today I’d asked my instructor about 6 into 5, he says it’d never happen. I need know which gears can stop in as well. Sometimes I coast accidentally in neutral because not sure which hear I come from after not getting into a gear.
Hi im Luis , can you make a video splitting shifts, is the RPM range is the same concept ? Splitting shift I mean from 2 gear to 4 gear to high range 6 gear ,, thank you I'll appreciate it
I have ZERO interest in ever driving a manual tractor trailer. Too many hazards on the road to also have to worry about how much you push in the clutch, finding your hard wall, knowing what rpm to be at, match engine speed with your gear, downshifting, upshifting.....are you kidding me?
I atrated training this kid but realized he could not even push the clutch all the way down because his legs were too short. So I had to just tell him he should stick to automatic.
You explain your double clutching technique very well! But I had a question I never drove manual before, let’s say you come to a complete stop in 7th gear, you clutch all the way down then apply the brakes to stop , then can you Apply splitter down and shift to 1st or 2nd gear to move the truck again without stalling?
ACE Truck King CDL got cha! Thanks for the tip that’s all I wanted to know, I wish I can attend your school In Texas haha! Im currently in a weekend trucking school and man we just get thrown in the fire without any help lol
@Ace When you miss a gear and have to put it back in, after reving up do u recommend clutching in before shifting in or just go into gear with no clutch?
i am in cdl school at the moment and i am struggling with double clutching and shifting we dont have a truck simulator can you give some advice on shifting
We are shifting a 10 speed do i need to follow your video more i am shifting just once going to floor everyone telling me i am acting like i am driving a car
terry williams Yes, Follow my videos and don’t hold clutch in for more than one second. Clutch in clutch out 2 times, one to Neutral and one to Gear (2 seconds after releasing the gas)
These people suck this is so easy when you know how to operate a clutch or have any common sense. Grind grind grind trans is getting beat. No wonder these schools charge so much but it’s not fair to the ones who take care of the equipment like it’s their own.
Trying put truck on had take there truck and safety man for ride. Loaded coming to light Jake braking he put in neutral said your wasting fuel wasn't goin drive his. It's the clutch just don't have to use that all. Take him for a ride show him how much to use . When I was teenager I could do better . Friend started over the road at 14 by himself got song about him. Your guy wow terrible
I'm amazed at all of the comments about how this video helped people. This guy is a hack! It makes sense now why I see so many horrible drivers on the road who have no idea what they're doing!
Im guessing you only watched one video on my channel of a struggling student. Before you judge, remember that I’m teaching to pass a test, not to drive as you wish. Good luck and stay safe 👌
@@ACETruckKing That's exactly the problem, people with very little experience who are only teaching them enough to pass the test. Once they pass the test and get their CDL, they think that makes them a driver. They don't ever try to improve themselves after that. I've been a company trainer at several places. I've had new hires who've been driving 5 years and still look like your student. They would get offended and argue when I would try to correct things like shifting on railroad tracks or coasting up to a light in neutral. They were taught to pass the test, not to drive the truck. The roads are full of this sort of dangerous ignorance. It's one of the biggest reasons I quit driving after almost 20 years to become a fulltime CDL instructor. I teach them to DRIVE THE TRUCK, not just pass the test. Seriously, give this some thought.
Therevdon If you’re a trainer then you must realize that it takes a lot of practice and repetition to learn to control a truck. We not only teach to just pass the test, we show safety for students and safety for others on the road. My only problem with your comment is that you judge on one video of a struggling student’s first few times on the road, of course he’s not road ready on this video and with my help he became a better driver. Watch this other more advance student ruclips.net/video/n1vw63dEqYQ/видео.html who of course needs more practice which he will get by driving more. As a truck driver you never stop learning.
I am just finishing my CDL classes, my state road test is this Friday. My instructors specifically tell us "we have to train you to past the test this way". Then we get a lot of...." off the record, in real life you will probably do this, this and this". They also preach safety as number one priority. I saw a thing or two the driver should not do, but as stated, it's his first time....I was scared to death my first time on the road, I was flat out mentally drained by the end of the day with so much info going on. Now, after 10-12 hrs on the road, I can concentrate on my weak points.....I tend to run the rpms to high and then deep clutch, habits of driving a high revving 4 wheel for yrs, but I'm getting better.

You're quite a tolerant instructor.
Thanks 🙏
my instructors yell at us, i dont think its cool with the amount of money im paying, its like they take my mistakes personally
You have to be tolerant being a teacher in this field .

I don’t have words to explain your patient . 100/100 .I’m in training only 6 days and my instructor 😡 mad at me when I don’t change the gears smoothly
Love the way this guy teaches ..good stuff!!
A good video to see how to correct issues. Thanks!
👌😃
This go be a great channel keep getting these videos out, very informative they’re greatly appreciated 👌...
Double clutching is best but some people are use to the pattern of a normal car and they think it’s the same driving a manual semi .
That’s right, which is why I wish everyone I trained had no previews shifting experience.😆

Man I wish my trainer was as cool and calm as he was maybe I would still be driving
Been watching all your videos.. love it learned so much. DALE!
Learned a lot from you on clutching w these videos. Thanks. Road test next week.
Thank you teacher
My pleasure
Bruh you are a godsend. Thanks for the vids
Bro is killing that gum 😂😂😂
I so wish you were my instructor!!
Glad I found this channel because im struggling lol
Chris Davis good luck and thanks for visiting
Nice bro I recently got my cdl aug 12
This are the best videos I watched ..are helping me a lot
your awesome ACE thanks for the videos! Such a good teacher
Good instructor 👏
I really like your videos. I was wondering if you have a tip sheet for shifting. What rpm to shift at for low range and high range?
Randell Carter Thanks for commenting. Check out this video for shifting tips ruclips.net/video/V9-Z5-Bu2pQ/видео.html

lol the sound u make when they grind gears.
Awesome video

Thank you brother
Good teacher
Dam tolerance at is finest lmao. I woulda snapped at that guy a long time ago

The sound effects lol
This is what I looked like taking my on road test I choked bad with shifting
Excelente explicación senor instructor
Great video 👍👍👍
How do you come from a stop without stalling
Cement block.....hilarious....

😂 I would hate an instructor like this
Can you do a tutorial on backing pups... like setups for 45 and straight backs I can’t find one on RUclips
Here you go friend. Good luck 👍 ruclips.net/video/5suj1OSJLE4/видео.html
My drive test tomorrow...how do I downshift coming off highway? Today I’d asked my instructor about 6 into 5, he says it’d never happen. I need know which gears can stop in as well. Sometimes I coast accidentally in neutral because not sure which hear I come from after not getting into a gear.
Just add the numbers. 15 mph is 5+1 = 6th gear. So 5th gear will be 10 mph. 25 is 2+5 =7th gear.... And so on
I wish one day meet with you your lovely teach your genius I love love so much how u teach
I love truck I like the way Sound and all about truck
Hi im Luis , can you make a video splitting shifts, is the RPM range is the same concept ? Splitting shift I mean from 2 gear to 4 gear to high range 6 gear ,, thank you I'll appreciate it
1 Question In the exam if we grained lose points?
Is going uphill different from driving flat terrain....
BigWill83 of course. You need to account for gravity effect.
I have ZERO interest in ever driving a manual tractor trailer. Too many hazards on the road to also have to worry about how much you push in the clutch, finding your hard wall, knowing what rpm to be at, match engine speed with your gear, downshifting, upshifting.....are you kidding me?
That just about sums it up lol
I atrated training this kid but realized he could not even push the clutch all the way down because his legs were too short. So I had to just tell him he should stick to automatic.
Good choice 👍

Frank Tran Glad I can help, just take it one step a time brother. Good luck
Correct me if I’m wrong but is each truck different as far as rpm example Volvo vs freightliner
Ncon00i Plus1 some truck require more or less rpms. The concept still the same and you can apply it to all. Good luck
@Ace When you miss a gear and have to put it back in, after reving up do u recommend clutching in before shifting in or just go into gear with no clutch?
200 rpms only then slide to gear with no clutch
Let’s say the light is green and they tell me turn right and I’m in 8 or 9th what gear do I have to downshift to hit my right turn slow n smooth
Fifth gear is good for a turn.
Saludos me gustaría pudieras doblar lo videos al español ya que muchos no hablamos ingles
i am in cdl school at the moment and i am struggling with double clutching and shifting we dont have a truck simulator can you give some advice on shifting
You need to pay attention to your RPM you can listen to your truck motor also. Patience and check carefully the RPM.
We are shifting a 10 speed do i need to follow your video more i am shifting just once going to floor everyone telling me i am acting like i am driving a car
terry williams Yes, Follow my videos and don’t hold clutch in for more than one second. Clutch in clutch out 2 times, one to Neutral and one to Gear (2 seconds after releasing the gas)
Forget the way he give class ..his calm riding whit student ..I would be nervous all the time
Thats me when my boss is shotgun
Fuck that double clutch we floating gears only ol son but good videos tho okay
That guy definitely needs more training. Good instructing though.
