13 Speed Manual Split Box & Twin Drive Axle..... That would be my FIRST Volvo!

Lets go quarry bashing together!!!! My first time in a volvo, my first 13 speed split box, my first twin drive axle..... What could possibly go wrong? Haha!
I'll show you around the quarry, the yard & the gearbox as we move 44 tonne of Sand & Swedish engineering!
HAPPY FURKING DAYS!!!

Hate that gearbox love my i shift....probably cos I'm lazy lol

[@tonye7509]

Marcus Wall iShift is the best gearbox I’ve ever used and I’ve driven most. The speed of the shift is second to none. Although I would like a crack at Scania’s Opticruise.

[@ASM-AmateurScaleModelling]

Mate, the difference with you is you’re straight forward, down to earth and like most of us, just an ordinary bloke working to provide for his kids. To do that with a job you enjoy is brilliant. You got a KZbin mate here 👍🏼

[@pqsaservices]

Hi Deady, Great video, with a very clear explanation about the manual 13 Speed box. I drove Class 1s back in the 1980's, so everything was manual!! One thing I would say is, if you are finding that it helps to double-de-clutch when changing certain gears, it would indicate to me that the syncromesh is getting worn out in the box. Since the lorry is a '60 plate', it's now 10 years old, I'm not surprised at that. I drove Volvos when they had 16 speed boxes, a gate of 4 gears with both the range-change and splitter on all gears! It shows how much engines have improved with their power and torque so that they can now manage with 12 main gears plus a crawler gear. I actually drove a Leyland truck that HAD to be double-de-clutched, it had a crash-box, 8 speed range-change only. That was 'fun'!!! Anyway, it's great to see your enthusiasm and joy at your job. Keep it up and all the best during this lockdown time. Jonathan.

[@tonydean2541]

Good on ya son, fully fledged trucker now mate, 13 speed manual etc etc. Nobody can argue that, no crunching either. I saw one of the "Road Legends" couldnt use a straight 6 speed box properly the other day 😂😂😂. Kev Tee is the only one of them i rate but hey ho thats another story. Anyway, well done mate, your a natural. Drive safe

[@andrewsmith6360]

Deady 2012 , the confidence comes with experience. Never be afraid to ask no matter how silly the question is. It’s better to ask than cock up, and if it’s any decent driver he/she will gladly give the advice. The reversing will all of a sudden kick in and then you’ll be thinking what the heck did I worry about. Driver told me once that it’s best to get out and check behind you 10 times if needed rather than hit another vehicle once. As for the professionalism from what I’ve seen you have it in bucket loads. Anybody that takes pride in their work and is conscience as you is already there mate. Keep it up mate 👍

Hi Gareth, Its an old fart here at 54 whos followed you from the beginning. I took my Class 2 test on Thursday in Beverley near Hull and sadly failed. I had no minors at all but a serious for lights changing at a busy junction and the lights changed to red and rather than carrying on I stopped leaving me just into pedestrian area. Then two cyclists had to go around the lorry. Everything else went well but a fail never the less. Confidence went, felt I let down my family who were disappointed for me and thought B.....ks Im to old to start this driving home. I sulked the rest of the day but today Friday I have downloaded the test routes and will before the next test on the 13 go and drive the routes to try to familiarise myself as I'm not from around there. I felt a fool and thought I know what to do....I put on a video of you today and you've given me the drive again to go again next week and try again. I aim to go straight to class1 if I pass hopefully. Thanks Gareth for that cheery attitude you have and well done you for getting to where you are. Cheers mate and thank you again...

The thing with the tests mate is there is a portion of luck involved. That has to be understood and taken in. It was an unfortunate mistake that the light turned red.... If a motorist comes speeding at you as you pull on behind a parked car you'll fail... shit like that can't be controlled. Don't be disheartened. Go and do the next test and kill it. If you see a green light in the distance, take your foot off the gas and coast towards it fully ready to stop... If you get to the point of no return, floor it back up to speed and happy days! Good luck mate! Thanks for the comment :)

I failed on my first test , examiner said that 6 inches wasn't enough clearance from a parked bus as I passed it . Pfft . Passed second time no issues . Keep at it if it's what you want , nothing good comes without trials .

[@suzannebatley4817]
