    Please do a video with tips and tricks on going down the mountain loaded at 77k. I’ve found your content not only informative but realistic and useful.

    its fascinating that you have so light trucks in the us. full load here in eurooe would mean about 132000pound, or in certain areas of scandinavia even upto 264000 pounds fully loaded.

    Really alot of things that go into trucks it’s not just knowing how to drive and shift I’m learning quick but still trying to get better and downshifting and upshifting when I should during turns or roundabouts

    This is where (plug-in) hybrid trucks will excell in the future.
    Giving you the power to go uphills and keeping your brakes cool going downhill using regenerative braking and not wasting the potential energy into heat.

    Simple explanation
    ..he is clutching out of gear because under heavy load full throttle...you wont get that gear shifter out of gear....its basically locked in until he lets off the fuel pedal....and you dont want to let off because you will lose a lot of momentum and slow way down...and thats nooooo good mane.

    I've seen some really bad trucker dash cams of inexperienced drivers, and was curious what you would consider safe to pass. Would you consider two truck lengths enough to give the trucker behind you enough room to make decisions, or still try and give three truck lengths if you can? Just curious since even for cars, they don't give truckers enough respectable space.

  • @Matt-hh2ye

    Is it not better to down shift a little earlier? I always do it around 1200 rpm if im going uphill. I feel it helps me keep momentum better.

    The clutch actually works to help you change gears while moving? I have to match revs and shift without the clutch on my 10 speed.

    What gear usually going up a hill?

    • @family1stdad
      @family1stdad  Год назад +1

      Depending on the weight of the load, I average between 5th and 8th gear. 5th - 6th if I'm heavy and the climb is steep. 7th - 8th if less heavy and the incline isn't as steep. Many variables will determine the gear choice.
      -Power of the motor
      -How steep is the hill
      -How much weight is being hauled
      -How many gears does the truck have
