Without counting low gears that makes it a 16 speed

Great explanation. Easy work.

So i drove a ten speed and a 9 i see that the pattern is the same as a 9 speed just splitting the lows and highs my question is do you have to keep using the gear splitter goin down or can you just put it down and shift down that way

Why was this video the best I’ve seen on KZbin for driving 18speed. Everyone complicates shit

Very good video!

I've been driving Stick for about 22 years. I wanna learn to drive one of those!

you get paid by the load?

Disagree 100%. You’re so focused on a transmission. The difference between 80k and 117k is minimal. 117k isn’t even heavy haul. Guys that have never actually been a heavy hauler may consider it heavy haul. Guys that weigh more than 117k empty laugh at it. 117k can be pulled with a 9 speed if you have a good hand. Width, length and height are very important for you to get comfortable with before you start heavy hauling.

I’m on a landoll with 13 speed hauling small equipment with few pieces being permitted. Just got an offer for about the same pay but lowboy 7 axle setup on 18 speed. I have only been with this company for 3 months. Don’t want to be viewed as a job hopper but this seems like a huge opportunity.

Well done sir. I learned a lot. I'm not a driver but I'm here because I want to learn 18-speed shifting in American Truck Sim. So, if your hauling heavy cargo, you want to split all 9 gears? And if you're empty, you can just do 1-8 without splitting? Is that right?

Yesir, when that Bull hauler left lane season comes to an end I'll be stepping more into this sort of thing

I had to subscribe because of the hustle #1, #2 I do end dump down in FL so I live what you live stay up 💪🏽💪🏽🦅

Hate that shit bro stay dry brother 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

to the trailer before the full height is reached. If you do have to be at an angle and no room to straighten with your trailer; lock tractor brakes and let trailer pull towards tractor ONLY WHEN 100% GROUND IS LEVED

I’ve never heard of a dump hauling that much weight. I’m not sure where that’s at but I don’t think you can do that here on the East Coast. How long is the trailer?

Do owner operators make good money doing this?

A truck is a truck and a load is a load. This working your way up and having to have experience is BS. It ain’t rocket surgery. Just strap on some chains and go…🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ Real simple.

Pulling a dump isn’t heavy hauling….🤔🤔

Nice explanation

You are good man I think I can do it

Is that for truck + trailer?

Wow! Respect bro. Sorry to hear about your struggles. I can certainly relate.

Salute to you bro. How do I get in the game? I got my own sleeper truck.

I am curious. If you are hauling, are you able to skip from 5L to 6L or do you have to go through 5H?

bro this helps so much. im gonna take a cdl school soon and you sir are amazing! Thank you!

f u c k that manual crap,, automatic all the waaaay , much more easier,,,

I think this guy is one of the best at explaining and showing how to shift an 18 speed . Thank You

I have my a class, how do I become a end dump trailer driver?

Very good

Blue is 15 or 8ll. Super 10 is actually grey like an 18.

respect big dawg! That’s bad ass.

Hey this is great! Fascinating. I knew about the range selector but had no idea about the hi/low splitter. But I’ve never even been in a truck so I’m just curious. Maybe a stupid question, but since it wasn’t covered in your otherwise thorough video: those trucks have a clutch like a manual transmission car, correct? I’m assuming you’re pressing the clutch to shift between each gear, just not the hi/low split? Thanks!

You did a good job explaining this 🎉

Best explanation brooo , especially on how the add up to 18 simply because off LO but when in high range you don't come back to that hole 🫶🫶🫶 one love brooo this made my head clear because I only knew 13 and 10 but never seen 18

How you doing sir. Quick question what rpm do you change gears or is it just by feeling ?

I didn't see any daylight idk tho

Preciate you bro

Thats been like that for a while, you would’ve caught it with regular pre and post trips

Great video. Question, roughly at what rpm are you splitting going from high to low.

Man only negative thing here is how early you are pre selecting... once you flip the range or gear splitter you engage it... you can actually feel it grinding... its terrible for the components. dont get me wrong.. I also pre select.. however it is right as I want the selection... not 10 seconds before

Preciate you

I kinda cheated or took the fast track to get there. TMC has there specialized division which hauls RGN trailers and does heavy hauling and you gotta run line haul flatbed for about a year to about 2 years with them and you can transfer into that division and get your experience through there

Is this video from the last century? Which modern truck still has a clutch? We have automatic transmissions. What backward country is this from?😂😂😂

About half of the oversize i see at truckstops run automatics 💀 ☠️

Amazing! I am learning to drive split trannies! Yayyyyy Thank you!!!! 😊❤

I have an opportunity to get into heavy hauling in a little nervous, is it dangerous or is it manageable weight?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☠️

I’m now doing heavy haul came in from doing step deck and flatbed

You still drive truck king
