I have no interest in getting into trucking, but I can’t stop watching these videos. This whole trucking thing is an art form; I’ll make sure sure to give you truckers a respectful nod when I see you on the freeways.
better safe than sorry.hold the Jake the whole way down and use your four ways. don't cater to other drivers. your the one with the CDL
So true Hold those JB's with your 4 way flashers on going down 6% mountains
Slow and steady wins the race.
+Jason Chadd Thank you and thanks for watching 👍

How slow do you go?
Rodney had a death grip on that door handle😂😂 I can't blame him.. I've been driving 5 years and still don't like steep grades
21 finger grip.🤣🤣🤣👍
know this. When going down a 6% grade, 6th-7th gear is where you want it with the jake brakes on. Having low RPM going down this hill is bad. Higher the RPM (NOT PAST 1500 RPM). The higher the RPM, the more the oil pressure. Jake Brakes work off oil pressure, more oil pressure the better the Jake brakes will hold back and work properly. This is loaded heavy. (Hot brakes = No brakes). This is how trucks catch fire. They lose their brakes cus they used them too much and not using the proper stabbing motion. (slow the truck to posted speed, stab the brakes firmly till speed is 5 mph lower than posted heavy truck speed, once the truck reaches the posted speed, repeat the break stab back to 5 mph lower than posted speed limit for trucks. Most trucks catch fire due to failure safety procedures. They hold the brake and when they noticed that their brakes are slowly not working, they hold the brakes down trying to stop and they wont. If you some how make it to the bottom of the grade and your brakes are smoking, DO NOT STOP, keep rolling and get them brakes cooled or call the fire department to meet you a few miles up the road that way they are there when you get there and the load will be protected from a fire. Drivers make the mistake of seeing the brakes smoking and they stop thinking its gonna make the brakes cool, That is false. the wind is what cools the brakes, if you keep moving, all the brakes will do is smoke, you stop, the wind stops and the brake will produce more heat and tires will adsorb the heat and will burst into flames. REMEMBER THIS.
+Dennis Ridner Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
+bill2526 bill2526 Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
bill2526 bill2526 bill2526 bill2526 no. Jake brake works off oil pressure. Exhaust brake works off exhaust
Shut up.People like yourself over analyze.I'm sure he knows what he is doing.
Nada..
I like fact Junior takes it nice and easy... he teaching the proper way. I am sure if Junior wanted to he knows how to hall ass down that hell no problem and control the truck, but he is trying to teach and show its okay to go nice and slow, don't rush when you're new. Dude is outstanding teacher, Prime is lucky to have him.
For those people flying by you...like you said..."hey more power to them". Thanks for driving with sense my friend!
Junior Honduras I have been watching since early 2016. I decided this year to enroll in driving school. I graduated this week and test next week then off with a trainer. This video was played by our instructor which I saw when you originally uploaded it. The instructor explained the reason for showing the video for us to observe how it's done, he then said in this field you will bond with people. He told the story of Rodney. The class was moved. Thank you for doing what you do and inspiring me to embark on a new career. I hope to catch you on the road one day to shake your hand..... sending love from Houston Texas.
Wow...that is awesome and I really appreciate you watching. Tell the instructor I said thanks for playing my videos. I wish you the best on your journey and yes Rodney is missed very much 😔
this was great, totally text book, was reading about it in manual and you demonstrated it exactly how it was described. Thanks for the visual Junior
+Asuzena M Thabk you very much and im glad I was able to show it like in the manual. Thanks for watching 👍👍
I believe you were on Parley’s Pass. That is actually the stretch of road England’s school trainers took us on during our behind the wheel training. Believe it or not, Day 1 took us on I-80 within the first two minutes of driving. Day 2 took us on Parley’s Pass. Back then, I think they just wanted to separate the men from the boys ASAP. I remember feeling like I was in waaay over my head, but was determined to keep it together anduse my training. This video you made was pretty much spot on how we were taught back in ‘95.
I love how much you go into with downhill driving I just graduated cdl school and I feel like they didnt cover this at all
That’s very true my cdl school just made sure I didn’t touch any curbs,cross any lines or speed they never even mentioned hills found out about hills once I started driving with my trainer in San Diego at night while raining lol…hope it’s going well for you
Tbh, it’s not really a CDL schools job to spend a whole lot of time on steep grades, especially if they are in a state that doesn’t have much of them. That’s why the company you go to work for has that orientation/drive with a trainer. If they are going to send you through the mountains, they need to train you on them.
This reminds me of my question to a school representative about putting off school until I could take advantage of winter training. They aren't to keen on the idea of endangering their instructors or equipment with rookies behind the wheel in knowingly dangerous situations. What I got out of it is they'd rather take the safe route for themselves and let rookies learn on their own, in time.
They don’t really. You learn all that with the mentor
I want to say to all truckers out there I respect y'all as a trucker myself I see y'all out there I'm currently in California kinda got myself in this situation. Now I learned my lesson to not ever ever use cbd oil for pain or whatever . Now I'm paying the price by taking education classes with SAP well the time almost comes for me to take the class and I am happy to say that everytime I see y'all out there just now I'm there to help out by backing if I ever see someone struggling . California has some tight spaces. Thank you for the video once again
I've taught students on that same hill. Seen more than a few "Pro" drivers smoking their brakes down that hill. I do keep my CB on though. I have no trouble ignoring idiots who wanna talk trash (they generally don't) but I like having it on in case someone wants to tell me something I don't notice (ie; problems with the rear of my trailer, traffic jam around a bend, etc.).
+New Tribe Podcast Yeah, I dont even have one in my truck. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
New Tribe Podcast or stalled vehicle halfway down the hill
Thanks Junior, I’m currently in my tnt phase but I know there is a lot I’m not being taught by my trainer. Almost every experience feels like sink or swim. He’s a great guy but just not as passionate and involved as you are when preparing students for the challenges of this job. Grateful that I was aware of your videos before I started and can refer to them when I need to. It’s obvious you put your heart into what you do and it’s not just a paycheck. Thank you!
+Ron B 😎 I appreciate that and thank you 👍Also thanks for watching. I am sorry to hear that you are going through that and wish I could do something about this situation but I cant. Do your best and learn as much as you can. I will continue to make videos with the smaller details that many people don't pay attention to that could possibly help you and a lot of people out here.
How are you doing now?
Thank you for your videos it really helped my confidence going down the mountain. Be bless be safe.
Good stuff I learned something you never stop learning out here.
1LOVE MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER
stay safe
+BIG MIKE Thank you very much and I am glad I was able to show you a little something. You are absolutely right we always learning something new. You be safe as well and be careful out there 👍👍
Well... sir. you are a blessing to your students and to the everyday driver. Awesome instructor and video Brotha.
Great job!
I can't believe that School Bus just hauling A**.
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍🏽
Getting ready to start trucking...thanks for this video! Safety is always good!
Thanks bro
Your vids are far and away better than anything I've seen on RUclips brother. Thanks for the amazing content.
I really appreciate that 👍 Thank you 😎
I respect your professionalism brother!
Thanks for this knowledge my man! I'm taking my class in November and wanted to see a visual on how to do this. Don't want to overheat those brakes and have something bad happen. Thanks my dude! Good stuff
I just finished a run from NYC to N. Cali.
I did the I-80 Donner Pass route, moved a family member. No engine brake and a automatic 7 speed. Just wish I had the Freightliner I used to drive.
Thanks or the video, new as well as longtime drivers could from time to time use videos like this.
patient, patient..... I love that you don't pay attention to other truckers who fly by you, and their loads could be light or so, but who cares, you watch after yourself, what is safe for you, your comfy zone.
great video Junior having that commanding view on your video makes me feel like I'm driving and I also learned , looking at that the way you explain things and the way you make a tutorial as you're driving Makes Me Wanna get up and start driving a rig and have instructor like you I know i would be in good hands keep it up Godspeed to you sir
Good video man. Very informative. I'm in truck driving school right now and we talked about this but now that I see how you use the engine brake it makes more sense. Thanks for the video.
+Kevin Blue I'm glad I was able clarify it a bit. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
What I learned from you in this video is downshifting going down hill normally I leave it in a gear that holds it slow the whole way. But you worked it more smoothly.
Thanks for the ride along Junior. Good stuff.
+Mark Hindman Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
As always great tips, learning alot from you Junior! Thanks for the info. Who knows, may see you soon at a truck stop! Be safe and God Bless.
+Ross Dickens Thak you very much and thanks for watching 👍Yes we may come across and if we do don't hesitate to say "what's up"
Very informative and straight to the point no hand holding. A must subscribe.
+ShaNea Smith Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
1000 gracias Junior por este video lo vi varias veces hoy porque recojo una carga en Kansas y tengo que subir el 70 West que es algo parecido a esta bajada en la que tú vas es mi primera vez tengo un poco de temor porque nunca había bajado una pero mi camión es automático el freno de motor trabaja muy bien y bueno quería tener esa experiencia y perder el miedo pero quería tener conocimiento de cómo hacerlo te agradezco mucho que te tomas el tiempo nos ayuda muchísimo a mí en lo personal me ayuda muchísimo el conocimiento que tú imparte a través de tus Videos de nuevo gracias Junior estos Videos literalmente me pueden salvar la vida gracias de nuevo Junior bendiciones!
Great advice on the CB Junior 👍🏽
Jr Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Currently going through TNT @ Prime. Had to get off my first truck as I hardly ever felt safe doing anything I was doing behind the wheel. Pretty much being let loose to figure this all out for myself, and when I do wrong comes the "teaching" I actually went down this very same mountain on my first week on his truck at night alone upfront and having no clue about how exactly to manage speed or the operation of an engine break... I'm finding your videos very helpful insightful & educational. Thank you.
Thank you, your a awesome trainer. Good advice, I would trust you with my life.
Great instruction...... I watched a news report where a trucker going to fast down hill crashed killing someone and now is being charged with Vehicular Homicide. Thanks Junior
Amazing patience and skill. Nice job bro
I went down that mountain a couple of months ago. It was a piece of cake. Ran down it with 42000 lbs on and used 8th gear. Ran down it about 1500 to 1800 rpms. Never used the brake but twice. I do have a 3 stage jake and I was smart enough to stop at the top like you are supposed to.
Thank You Man, for explanation I'm about to start my CDL career and this is important to me to learn as much info as needed to operate safely .. Safe travels and hope to meet you in future.
My God, what a beautiful area. LOVE IT
Yes it is beautiful and can be dangerous as well. I am showing you guys how to do it safely and with this way you can do it multiple times. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
My trainer didn’t drive into any mountain 🏔 and we were 2 students we basically drive all the time but I remember driving for almost 4 hours in the Rocky Mountain Colorado and the truck was over heat and smoke. I was so scared cause it was my first time seeing something like that. I was watching this video before that I could have an idea of how to do it.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for showing us how to shift down hill. I forgot how to do it. Been longtime since i drove a semi- tractor
Excellent driving Junior. I always loved trucking sims as a kid, Hard Truck 2 and 18 wheels of steel were my favorites. Never did became a trucker though.
American Truck Simulator is prolly the best out now.
I'm guessing you're 34 years old right now. It's not too late. I'm 34 and just got my CDL. Just went down my first mountain yesterday and almost crapped my pants.
Thanks for this videos Catracho. I try to get my CDL. N u give us good n important info.
+hugo orantes 😎 I appreciate that and thank you 👍Also thanks for watching
Thanks for the video JR... That was like i was in Rodney's seat... RIP Rodney B.
+Ricky Munday Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Ricky Munday what happened to Rodney?
+abel lucero He passed away.
@@irishj6037 How did Rodney pass away, - he seem like a very nice person.
Good stuff!!! On my 8th day of training was on I 81 hills in va wv area not like that. But was alot to me being a rookie
Good video. Just got my CDL in Colorado. We’ve got some mountains here and I’d rather go slow steady and safe.
Junior, good video, excellent driving. Well said, you have control of the vehicle.. like Captain on a ship...and your humor with Rodney B. By the way.. I think, you would make an excellent aircraft pilot. Peace.
well done , it is better to be safe than just speeding up, great job, thanks.
Had to do this just now going east on I70 in Utah. There was one hell of a grade there along with sharp turns.
Yo junior I like to see someone speak slang or ghetto the homie talk lol and still doing shit right like a real man good shit bro!
Man those trucks passing were flying
I hope when I get to prime I get you as my trainer.
lots of different dynamics go into these grades, but you go down however you feel comfortable within reason so to speak... a driver has got to know his or her limitations.
+nomdeguerre13 That is right and be safe as well. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
This is Parley's Summit; it is the 3rd highest point on the 2,900 mile length of I-80. Only Wyoming and California see higher elevations on I-80.
Thanks for the help with the exact location , I moved to Salt Lake on 1 November 2015 and all I know is it was in the Wasatch Mountains , so was that I - 80 ?
I like your awareness bro good job thanks for being safe
Nice video Junior, I remember that I80 stretch very well when I was training over the road about 6 years ago. And it scared the shit out of me!!!!! But I would really like to see you do a video of a decent on a 6 or 7 percent downgrade in the snow, in the worst possible weather conditions. NOT to see you in any danger, but to show everyone how it's done. Because you and I know we can't use that engine brake in the snow, and every OTR driver has to deal with that eventually. PLEASE, use the same head camera you did in this video, but only record it on the worst possible day for a snowstorm downhill decent. You know the day will come eventually, and that was the scariest damn thing I ever did. If you film it right, you'll probably get the most views of any of your RUclips videos. Just a thought. Stay safe out there man, you got balls of steel staying OTR. I couldn't take it anymore after 2 years. I'm local now.
I think this was a very good representation on what to do... dont want to be o n the breaks hardly at all...stab a little but shouldn't hardly touch the breaks at all going down the hill...good job sir
I love cascadias! I might even get married to mine! Love the videos bro drive safe :)
Good info! I agree what’s the rush going down hill I don’t get it? If I loose 1/2 hour so be it I wanna make it home!
Excellent video, keep em coming.
Great video as always, you are the best trainer i have seen.
+BIG JONES Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Great video, your videos are helping a lot of people out.
+Greenriver Utah Thank you and I'm glad they are. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Good shit bro awesome video, professionally done
Very good tips. Everyone should take this very sireously.
Better to be safe than sorry. Nice work man.
Good shit my dude, slow and steady.
The one good thing about learning way back when in ca is that there is a mountain anyway you want out. After the second time going over them it was easy mode
awesome video, one of the best video of mountain downshift i have ever seen, clear
+Jose Peralta Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Y soy Catracho , quien dijo Miedo, thats how i want my truck to look like Jr.....
+Jose Peralta Si verdad. Gracias mi hermano y quien dijo miedo papa, gracias por ver los videos 👍
Junior one more thing, a video like this would be even better if you had a second camera watching what your feet/gear shifter hand are doing, then you could play the video side by side
+MakingMyselfGreatAgain I knowwww 😆😆😆 Give me and I'll have something setup to where I can do that. 👍👍 Thank you and thanks for watching
Or a shot of the gauges would be nice, at no point do we know what speed he is actually going because he doesn't tell us..
Brett Kramer I was gonna comment the same thing was he going 40? Cuz that's what the sign said but all them big rigs were passing him by
Great video thanks man, helps a lot
excellent training!!! dynamite Junior!
Thank You So Much For An Awesome Video!!!
I'm fairly new to artic driving hear in the UK, the roads are a lot different over hear but still some great info on safe careful driving. thanks for making some great videos
+Matt Gibson Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
The goal is to.not just get down the grade. It's to get down the grade safely, with your brakes still functioning.
It's not a damn race.
RIP Rodney 🙏.
Great video 🙏.
Went down my first mountain. Mount eagle. It's super easy. Just activate your engine brake and be on 7th gear, and it's a smooth sailing down.
+Richard Figueroa Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Richard Figueroa monteaglebwas my first mountain too!
I have a strong feeling that was my brother in the CRST truck lol
+Lambochaser lol, Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
A few years ago there were 2 Swift trucks in the Same Run Off on the Bullhead City road. The Smoke was terrible but funny at the same time.
Phenomenal video! I hold a Class-A and don’t go down any steep grades like 6% but it’s always good to know. I did do contract work this last summer to North Carolina and I went through the West Virginia turnpike. I was driving a straight-truck but still that was an experience. I definitely was doing stab braking but I was letting it rip down those hills. I wouldn’t be doing that with a combination lol
I have been watching these videos and I really like Junior as a trainer he is tough and no nonsense..I am getting ready to start my truck driving career just have to decide if I want to go to Prime or CRST...
+RebelBubba Vlogs hey my apologies fornnot getting back to you any sooner. Send me an email at Honduras81@live.com and I will send you information on primes training program. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
IMHO.. There is no comparison between the two. Prime is head and shoulders above CRST. I liken it to Major league baseball and T-Ball. Go with Prime.
+Mark Blake 👍👍
Awesome video 1 of the best video I see so far
Great video I learned a lot thanks
+S Singh That is good and I appreciate you watching. Thank you 👍
Seen a lot of those tankers flying down that hill, wow just wow
+Richard Duran Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
thinking about getting my cdl. very good vid, love the detail.
though, i would like to know how deep into the throttle or is this all motor/rpm/gear work? 0 throttle? (other than flats)
excellent display of experience in a young man,
+nitrofish1974 I appreciate thaat and thanks for watching 👍👍
Awesome video. Feel better about man driving
junior great video as always safety first most important thing
I
+Matthew Brugger Thank you very much and thanks for watching 👍
great video and helpful tips . the funny thing is that i was just here the other day driving this in the dark for my first time solo i seen even other truck passing me up i thought they was crazy or they really had to use the bathroom lol . my trainer always told me its your world you do what you need to do to get home safe . its dont matter what the DM or the COSTUMER wants there not driving you are!!! keep it rolling ... i dont know if its ok to ask but i believe that i met you before when i was a WIL-TRAINS have you worked there at one time ?
+Trucker Steve That is true, you are the captain of the ship and your life is priceless. Nothing in the truck or trailer is worth your safety or life. I have not worked at Wil-Trans, you got me thinking now. Somebody else out there looks like me. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Wow! great info for even 4 wheelers!
+VICKIE WHITE I really appreciate it and thanks 👍👍
Good teacher. I am learning from you every time I watch your video. I am hitting training in February 2019
Great video Jr. Can u do a video of coupling & uncoupling?
-sauludos
+Saul Cruz Dele yo hago un video así como me lo pidió. Gracias 👍
you are a very good teacher
i want to go to truck school looking for the best place.. nice video
+Richard McMahan You most definitely have to do your research as to what company because everyone is different. Example: Prime may suit your needs but not the other person. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for the video. Gracias por el video
Look at this a school bus...Bump it...I'm going.....LMAO..Good job junior. Mark Prono here, I live on Raton Pass in Colorado, kinda like that one but 6% all the way down and more twisties. I can let my car idle down and it gets up to 85 MPH. I-25 CO/NM Border. I live at exit 6. Have you ever been over that one?
I don't think I told you this but I was a Colorado Port of Entry Officer for two years at the first port in northbound on I-25 in Colorado.
+Mark Blake I have been over that way but it's been a minute. Port of Entry officer 😐 interesting 😉😃
Gracias Junior por su gran servicio que da a personass que quieren entrar al negocio , Pregunta J , de cuánto tiempo consta el curso más completo y cuanto cuesta$$, gracias de nuevo
A-1...safety 1st...great video
+antonio starke Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for sharing I'm about to start truck driving school and after seeing the young man being sentenced to a 110 yrs I want to make sure I am trained properly 🤔
