The one cool thing about manual, if you have an air leak you can still run. Once the psi in an automatic drops your tranny won’t shift or shift properly

I'm with ya on the Manual transmission. I first drove an automatic in 2016 after starting out with a manual 2 years prior. Wasn't my choice the company I was driving was just switching over to autos. Now i wouldn't want to go back to a manual. I do flat bed currently, but i don't throw a tarp. Just straps over PODS. I don't know if I could go back to bumping docks again, but I'm not gonna judge those that do.

[@RidingWithDave]

Straps over the pods sounds pretty good! That can't be too bad.

@@RidingWithDave it very good actually. It's easy work main con is just dealing with the weather. I had to toss 6 straps in a downpour near Miami a couple days ago.

When you have to wait for the combine or the grain cart, your in the middle of no where and it takes 1 hour for a load. Then you get to the terminal and there's 20 trucks ahead of you. Hailing grain can suck sometimes.

[@davidebinns]

I will say, that while driving a manual is easy most of the time, mountain driving in a manual with a maxed out load can be a challenge. I also like them better for winter driving.

Colorado Rockies is the baseball team in Denver. Avalanche is the hockey team. We loved living in Colorado! Denver is an okay area, but we lived in Colorado Springs which his very beautiful. Too bad you couldn't get of the truck for food. Golden has a great pizza joint, Woody's Wood Fired Pizza. Safe driving Dave! Thanks for the great video.

[@jbellfarmer224]

Driving a manual isn't hard, it just takes a little bit to get used to. A manual is fun, but I like my automatics... a lot. But grain hauling, I've only done from field to co-op, but it's relaxing and just following a certain route on backroads. You would get used to driving gravel and putting the hammer down because the combine is yelling at you on the two-way to get your (rear) to the field because you had to wait in line for an hour and the grain cart is full and the combine is waiting. But, if you're looking for seasonal harvest grain hauling, I can hook you up!😉

[@Texan_red_panda]

I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. And I really appreciate everything you do to get the stuff delivered. Keep up the great work Dave!

[@jimmock1155]

Used to be you had no power steer, had to map out your route, figure out what was truck able, avoid the low underpasses, and weight limits, plan your fuel stops, call from a phone booth and get directions to write in a note book, slide axles, slide the fifth wheel, figure out how you were gonna log it, sometimes keeping two logs going at the same time, there was no road service every ten miles. Many time you had to fix it yourself…..,lots of loads only allowed 6-8 hours for a sleep break.

[@garykocker5785]

So I watched until the end! I rode with my dad way back in the day. Started as a grain hauler back in 1981 after riding with my Father for many years! You have to be careful!

Im 12 so don't quote me but when you haul grain sometimes you get hired out by farmers to haul there grain. But after harvest and stuff you usually haul grain between elevators and you could take stuff from elevators to food plants of to plants the make feed and dog food and thing of that nature. Your videos are awsome.

[@Ch1n4m4nn]

Floating gears is something different to using a clutch. And depending on the load I guess it makes sense to drive a manual shifter. Especially the oversize guys will get mad with a automatic transmission.

[@bmduffy2000]

From 2000 to 2017, all I drove were manuals (8, 9, 10, super 10, 13, 18 - mainly 10 and super 10). Since December 2017, I've been stuck in automatics. I'm a company driver (CFI), so I drive the vehicle the company assigns to me. It is what it is...

[@Detroit_Diesel]

What's the difference between a 10 and a super 10?

[@Ryan_Stewart]

I agree with every word 🤣 I hate dealing with super truckers, with my flatbed trainer ATM and we had to get towed from a truckstop because he put DEF in the Diesel Tank. I learned that you can't tow a tractor and trailer together in the state of Iowa, so I rode with the guy towing the trailer back to the home depot we're based out of and he had a thing where as we got going he switched it into the next gear and then when he had to switch to that gear all he did was press in the clutch and pressed a button to upshift, and then would just put it in neutral when we had to slow down and put it into whichever gear his speed would allow. Pretty interesting stuff for us steering wheel holders 😂

[@johnnyq1233]

You'll love driving back roads! I've been driving a Freightliner M2 series with a box in southern Manitoba, Canada to mostly small towns and the occasional farm or AGRO depot for the past 5 months. The gravel isn't too bad but sometimes the road goes to mud and then it gets greasy pretty quickly. Some of the driveways are decent and some are very sketchy. If you miss a turn, then you have to find a place you can turn around on to go back. The other fun thing is meeting a harvester at a bridge that barely fits the harvester so I always give the farmer the first go and I'll wait. Still beautiful countryside and I enjoy chatting it up with the people I meet. This year's been quite challenging because of the tons of rain we've had up here with bridges washed out and roads closed due to flooding. Haven't got stuck so far this year and I hope to keep that record going..lol Do like your videos as they are very entertaining and you have a very positive attitude, which goes a long ways in this job. Keep up the great videos!

[@maxwell7412]

Well the reason most companies has went to automatic transmissions is people don’t ever learn how drive and get the fuel mileage out of them. Actually most people don’t have a clue they are lucky to go forward and keep it up right and between the lines… Keep up the good work enjoy your vids and stay safe

[@ramtruking2750]

Grain Hualing is a truck driver job that involves loading Farmers' grain harvest and transporting it to either a grain elevator or a storage bin. The fees paid for grain hauling are determined by the weight of the load being transported. Physical labor and heavy lifting are major aspects of this career. You need a valid Commercial Driver's License, or CDL, or a valid endorsement on your driver's license to drive grain. Obviously grain is transported through trucks and very rarely driven down to someone actual farm but non-rare to drive down a gravel road into a grain elevator facility.

[@hosway1448]

I do my trucking in the northeast. I’ll admit, you have to time your trip right. My old company didn’t allow ramp parking but I found out that what they didn’t know didn’t hurt them lol.

[@pugmalley]

These newer autos shift the transmission pretty dam good. Best part is you don’t kill your left leg at the end of the day. And you have just as much control of the truck as the old school manual. Years ago when I was in the high school wing at the vocational college we would take the old cab overs (70’s models) out in to the parking lot and cruise around and shifting them was a pain in the ass as the linkage was a bit worn out and the clutch was well abused. I was the only one that was skipping gears cause we had no load. Also cause it was hard to find the gears in them.

Been at it coming up on 32 years this coming February, I've pulled flatbed, dry van, reefer, tanker and end dump. I currently pull reefer and have done so for the last 7 some odd years and that's my preference but as far as manual/automatic? Give me the one that rolls and i can make money. Listen to the radio traffic during a backup and tell me who seems more agitated, i can almost guarantee it's the one with the gear shift lever that's almost long enough to stick up their butt! I guess that's to help them shift with the muscular atrophy that's no doubt set in or their over inflated head.

Hauling grain- usually have multiple loads coming out of a place, and searching for loads to get you back can be tough. A lot of grain hauls are short. Places will have 15000 tons of grain that need to go 150 miles. Your paid by weight or bushel, so 80k is a light load, stay off the interstate and you can usually haul more, some states you can haul what you can bridge, get up in Michigan and they run b trains up to a gross of 164k iirc. Most locations are first come, first serve, so as long as there isn't a line, your in and out. People are much friendlier and often will hand you a cold drink and a hat. There is also stuff like harvest, where you might drive 100 miles in a 12 hour day, and charge 120/hr or get paid by the bushel (usually better if your working with a good crew that keeps you moving) There is always other stuff you can haul with a hopper. Ddg, frac sand, fertilizer, mulch. I'm just moving from company driver to O/O. I have the connections already so a hopper is my first trailer. Been thinking about doing a channel for it.

[@0873sp]

Baseball team is the Colorado Rockies.

[@SkilledEddie]

You might be shifting but doesn't meen your doing it right. I drive a 13 speed and it's more then flipping splitters as you say. I'm far from a super trucker but I'm no mega carrier steering wheel holders that's for sure.👍 Been there done that when I first started but once I got experience no more mega carrier baby sitter micro managing. Believe it or not the reason behind so many companies having automatics now is because a lot can't shift a truck. Shifting a truck is nothing like shifting a car the only similarity is both have a clutch and both have a stick shift.

I don’t understand why everyone calls it an automatic, the truck doesn’t have a torque converter on it like a car. It’s a Automated Manual Transmission which is the same as a manual with the difference, of the AMT, being that it has a computer and an air shifter. If you wanted to you can pretty much convert an AMT to a manual and you shift an AMT without the extra step

Guess I’m a super trucker because I prefer a manual to an auto shift. With a manual, I can control my rpm’s in all conditions. Especially in the mountains. I also float the gears. Clutch is for starting, stopping and backing. Yes the manual is a pain sometimes in traffic, but I am capable of going up and down through all the gears in traffic without ever touching the clutch. I’ve hauled grain, in a hopper and an end dump. Grain trains are a lot of climb up and watch till the front is filled, hurry up and get in and pull forward enough to fill up the middle in an end dump or the back hopper in a hopper bottom. Then hurry up and shut the grain drop off if you’re loading yourself or tell the farmer to shut off if you got help. Or pay attention and pull up when they tell you if you’re loading at an elevator. Dumping at the elevator is hurry up and wait if there’s a long line for the bean dump or corn dump. And there’s a lot of dust.
