There’s no “driver shortage “ in the USA but there’s definitely a shortage of driver compensation. Great careers with great pay and benefits don’t have to beg for employees. Every truck going down the highway has an ad on the back begging for help. That’s the first red flag to warn a person that something is terribly wrong with that career.

You open the tachograph wind the clock put a round piece of paper in it and it records your speed and or RPMs so your company knows you're not over speeding the motor and you would usually turn it in with your paper log
@gac9142 жыл бұрын
There were "needles" that would make marks on the round card that would be inserted in the case, recording hours of service of sorts , ("movement" vs. sitting still,) and speed, (at least the ones that I worked on -- no tach hooked to ours -- just speedometer and a wind-up clock.) In somewhat predictable fashion, some drivers would physically bend the speed needle "down," with a needle-nose so that the recorded speed etched on the card would show lower than the actual speed being driven. In later models, they became electronic so the tampering got more difficult, and I also worked on some that were "eight-day" tachographs, which contained a series of cards for each day, and a knife in the tachograph would "cut" the tape keeping them together and start recording the next day, etc. Pretty crude by today's standards, but they served a purpose back in the sixties & seventies.

Not to be a douche and split hairs, but it's an Autoshift. the Ultrashifts only had 2 pedals, whereas the Autoshifts had 3. There was an option Kenworth had, that included a console so to speak of that had a "cobrahead" (Eaton's words, not mine) shifter. Functioned the same as the keypad, but the lever moved and had the up/down buttons on the left thumb area. The fleet I used to mechanic for had a bunch, and I liked them, other than the XY shifters going bad on the Gen 2 trannies. For gen 3, they flipped the Y axis and got the electric motor away from the heat of the exhaust, and were pretty much trouble free.

Good old "Tachograph", it took a round carbon paper disc which two needles sat on and scratched out the engine rpm, and the speedometer speed onto the disc which was driven around by a clock work motor drive, from that you could tell the travelled distance, speed and gear range and time driven by looking at the chart and comparing it to a map route. D.O.T. loved these for checking on brake check stops and rest periods. Many times you would find the charts laying on the side of the road after and accident, almost unreadable because the driver removed the chart and stepped on it like a cigarette butt to make it unreadable by enforcement staff. Mechanics loved them because it showed if a guy was "hot dogging" the truck, over revving or speed shifting. Most of the time the key was removed before a trip by management once a new chart disc was installed so the driver couldn't get into it to change the disc. Old boys would drive a set "shuttle route" and have a spare disc or two and swapped out the disc for a "preused" disc with a "clean run" etched into the chart when they parked and take the new disc with them for "later use"..lol You could say this was the true precursor to G.P.S. tracking, guys who analyzed these could tell you almost exactly where the truck was at any given time from the chart disc and a map. Amazing old tech that was hard to defeat in the day.. Thanks for the video Mark stay safe & Cheers!

The old tachographs we used had a razor in the housing that would put a tiny cut in the edge of the disc when it was put into the tachograph at the beginning of a drivers shift....it kept everyone honest in case someone had a duplicate key.They had tachograph magnifying scopes in the office in which to study the disc charts, and they used them regularly.

The Ford CL-9000 (COE) and LTL-9000 were Ford's last entry into the class 8 truck field. They were definitely the best of the Ford breed, well built, well designed and well styled. Ford used a lot of steel in their cabs as opposed to fiberglass and aluminum. They were sturdy, but steel rusts. Gotta agree on the woes of the trucking industry. It used to be a vocation in which one could earn a good living without having a college degree, and be quite independent. But from what I understand, it's becoming a hard job, working for the big shipping companies, and for not a lot of money. The days of the independent trucker, driving his customized home on wheels, is pretty much over.

I'm a Ford guy anyway, but just saying those were the best looking, most modern looking trucks on the road back in the day. And yeah, I was blown away the first time I saw one of those automated manuals. Had a lever rather than buttons, but still had a clutch pedal. I swore I'd never drive an automatic class 8 truck, and a 13 speed Eaton will always be my favorite. Have to admit though, now that I'm doing local, the i-Shift in the Volvo is nice to have in traffic. And hell, bobtailing I can keep up with traffic. It starts out in 5th and then will skip gears. Kind of freaks people out that a big truck can launch from a traffic light and keep up with them.

That LTL definitely had possibilities and it went for a good price. and that old KW was amazing, it's hard to find ones that are that complete. it still had the Sangamo tachograph, I haven't seen one those in a really long time. it looked like possibly a 290 Cummins, that was long before the formula and NTC engines. and it twin straights on it I'll bet that thing was noisy. and that Freightliner with the automatic, I'm guessing that a person used the clutch to start from a standing stop. that Peterbilt with the bull bumper on it was a 359. all the extended hood Peterbilt's are 379s. I didn't like the steering wheel on that particular one. some of those old cornbinders weren't such bad trucks. I drove an LTL 9000 for an Asphalt Paving company, it was a heavy hauler dump and pup with a three axle trailer and a drop axle on the tractor. it had a 3406B with an eighteen speed transmission. it was a runner it could easily run right along with any other truck out there. it was one of the best trucks I have ever driven.

Early ELD, basically a mechanical ELD. Told your speed and all on the speedometer, the tach told if you over revved or lugged the engine and hrs when engine was running. A good chart reader could tell what location the driver stopped at and for how long..

Tachograph had a circular disc you labelled and placed inside. Your 'shift operation' was recorded ( graph style, hence the name) as the disc rotated.

I'm quite glad for modern creature comforts in the newer trucks :D

Love your passion for trucks, what about a 1960 International Harvester Sightliner. Be interested to see one as an actual t/a semi hauling trailers

Im watching again....Now I'm not a Ford guy by any means but that LTL is slick in its design and trim. Its a conventional but lots of little things that set it apart from the others the interior style, lines in the hood and cab etc
