Been driving 20 years and I’ve never met ANYKNE who shifts perfectly all the time. You’re gonna grind a gear here and there especially downshifting.

I haul max gross 63500 every day locally, Both directions always loaded hauling Ore/Backfill for the mines here. I can honestly say I don't miss gears. Maybe the odd day, but can go weeks without missing a shift, and if i really tried I wouldn't miss. Its happens when I rush or don't really give a shit about the companies transmission lol. I probably shift more in a year than some guys do in a lifetime running highway. I run a 2022 T800 with an 18 speed, Run with jakes on all day and catch the gears with the fuel pedal on the way down.
Young Man, I've Watched Numerous Trucker Videos, And Could Never Understand How They Shift Through 18 Speeds...While Only Moving The Shifter Into The Same 6 Or 7 Positions. Thanks For This Explanatory Video. Strong Work!
Retired long haul trucker here. Enjoyed your clear easy to follow demo, brought back memories, would be perfect for a beginner. Yes I floated the gears most of the time. Wound up with more shoulder problems that hip. As a gal, having to put the seat so far forward, I was almost reaching behind me going into 8th. Of course it could be from running up and down the side of the cab. :-) But loved my years on the road. Be safe out there.

Finally someone that explained about using the clutch in a way that for me was easy to understand. This was the only part that was kind of confusing to me when shifting a 13 or 18 speed. Now i get it. You were also the first to even mention about pushing the clutch pedal all the way down when at a stop.

Clear, methodical, to the point and easy to follow - all with a good sense of humor and humility. You sir, would make a fantastic instructor. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful angle. That’s where I wanna put one of my cameras (when I get one, lol) to record me as I drive and shift. Thanks for sharing! I already know how to drive an 18-speed but I watched anyways and you did a very good job explaining all the nuances in the shift patterns, differences between shifting a standard passenger vehicle equipped with a manual transmission that are typically equipped with synchronizers, and diesel manual truck that doesn’t have synchronizers, double clutching versus floating, etc. I think the average non-trucker would understand most of what you explained. Noone truly “gets it” until they’ve been behind the wheel of a semi truck with a real manual transmission themselves. I’m surprised you took the time to explain all the other typical manual transmissions that semi trucks come with, lol. I wasn’t expecting that, based on the title of your video, but I like how thorough you were. You forgot to mention the other two Eaton (less common) manual transmissions - the 15-speed (blue splitter instead of red or gray) and the “Super 10,” though I’ve never personally been a truck with these less common ones. Again, amazing work and upload! It was very informative! I always hope curios non-truckers come across these sort of videos so they can get some insight into what we go through and what it’s like-hopefully in turn to be more empathetic and respectful towards us when zipping by around our rigs or giving us extra room to turn wide when needed, lol.

As a non truck driver IN UK I've always wondered how you get 18 gears out of 4 positions. Thank you.
@SternDrive
Жыл бұрын
Five positions! If you start in low with a heavy load it will be five positions. When I'm loaded I often start in low. Sometimes I even split low range. I love 18 speed transmissions! And you can even shift going in reverse. The only other truck that can do that is some of the old Mack trucks. Five gears in reverse! I've shifted all the way into 4th gear in reverse. Never hit 5th though. There's not many pro drivers out there that have ever shifted while going backwards. I love my job!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video on shifting, I’m in Trucking school and I guess because I’ve driven gas engine manual transmissions for many years and I’m 57 so trying to get myself to slow down and shift properly has been a challenge, much respect for you and all truckers !
That was the first sponsored ad in a vid that I didn’t skip over. It was actually entertaining 😂
This guy should be a consulting truck driving instructor and have flown all around the world to train instructors 💯
In my driving career before retirement I also drove a 13speed splitter transmission in a Mack. It had low and a conventional 6 speed pattern with the splitter on each of the 6. With a good load each gear had to be split. Like your videos Matt, takes me back to those working days here in Australia 🇦🇺
Great video and tutorial abt shifting techniques for an 18speed! Im retired from UPS after 28years driving the night haul to Richmond, Va. Thankfully the last 7years my truck had the automatic transmission and when i had a manual transmission it was a 10speed. Really appreciate your time and effort making this video. This will definitely help those that have a lot of shifting to do. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Adams family theme song. Best advice I ever got for a full gear change was to click your fingers the same as the song. Each finger click was the shifter movement. Click to neutral, wait, next finger click push it to the next whole gear..worked like a treat and made floating up through the box a dream. :)
Thank you for the video, have started school and drive a stick car but, shifting in a truck has sounded confusing! Seeing it helps explain it alot better. Just starting at 63

Mate...you have made an excellent video for all those new to the game. For those of us that have been in the game for awhile this was a very informative video thank you.
I have watched many videos know the concepts well and have a decent amount of experience shifting. I still enjoyed watching your video and thought it was one of the best I have seen to date. They way you broke it down into sections was perfect. For the person who is completely new it was nice to not overload them with too much info all at once. Really an awesome job.
Thanks for the vid. Looks difficult. Love watching especially backing vids. I’ve watched climbing the impossible hill at least 3 or 4 times. Thanks a lot for the enjoyment.
Best shifting video on KZread! Minor problem was the cab was too dark to see the double clutching in action. People need to see it happens fast in real time. It's tough that you need to demonstrate it in order to get your license. That's when you have the least experience to achieve a unfamiliar technique.
I watched 4 videos and yours is the only 1 that gave clarity. Thank u. Keep doing your thing bro 💪🏾
These are few things I had to learn when stepping up into the big trucks from smaller/light semi trucks, that you might touch on with your own advice and technique. Throttle control, not dropping the throttle too much when floating up or down. I drive B double tankers, which fully loaded are 68+ tonnes (150k pounds) GCM. When learning to drive these fully loaded I used to take my foot out of the accelerator far too much, which would cause rough shifts or cause the gear to hold and become difficult to release because the transmission would reload with decelaration forces/weight. I learnt the correct pressure by keeping the jakes on while shifting up, if you let off too much they would activate. Perfect pressure they stay off, the revs will drop and you can float-shift normally. I did this practice in high box, otherwise you could badly miss and potentially have to stop and start over. Gently backing off the throttle when splitting a gear up, letting your foot off the accelerator too quickly/harshly will cause the box to slam the splitter and cause drive train shock loads. Gentle off and gentle on. Missing a gear and half engagements. If you miss a gear, usually from under-revving, don't panic. Hold the gear near the gate (the gear tickle) and quickly and smoothly increase the RPM again and it should pop/suck itself in. On hills you will probably have to go back one or two full gear(s) depending on weight and incline. Half engagements, this happens to me most often going from Low-low to first on take-off, hold the stick firmly in gear and lift off the accelerator gently, it should pop in and you're good to go. Trying to drive it will cause the transmission to violently throw the gear out.

Very informative video . . . I learned on a air shift 4X4 back in the mid seventies . . very simple to learn and easy to operate.
Sure brings back memories. Well done..VERY well done. I’ve driven on & off for a LOT of years, but never OTR..unfortunately, always thought I wanted OUR own rig. Took jobs driving with Halliburton, United Salt/Texas Brine out of Houston, etc. ALWAYS ‘floated’..never double-clutched. Guess it’s sometimes how you’re ‘taught’..in my case, Halliburton. The LAST outfit I drove for was Midway Rental out of Kalispell, Montana. I’m 62 now..and miss it. It gets in your blood. I also grew up in a “trucking family”..a ‘hot-shot’ type outfit. So there’s that. Again, GREAT job!

I never had any formal training on a 10 speed other than a few test drives with another driver who never explained the clutch braking to me. Don't think he knew that. As a result, i would grind every gear.. and forget about downshifting. I never could get that into a lower gear exiting the freeway .sometimes could get into like 8 and just putt off the exit. Don't drive anymore, but I wished i had your knowledge about the clutch. Thanks for your tutorial on shifting. Much appreciated.
A FANTASTIC VIDEO, ESPECIALLY FOR CURIOUS PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVERS!!!!!!!
Great video , valuable information . I pick up my truck Friday 6/7/24 . Basic , 10 speed but that's good enough to get started . Thank you for the tutorial and being real about it .

The Big No-No with the clutch brake is to use it with the truck still rolling. It essentially tries to stop the truck, which of course destroys the brake.

Excellent vid. I've driven 10 speeds, but not the 13s or 18s. This made it easier to understand the difference in the respective shift patters; it's not as complicated as I'd imagined.
Awesome video mate - I failed my first assessment test here in Australia because I was coming down a steep hill to a roundabout pushed the clutch in at 1000rpm but in doing that the truck speed up over the revolutions to synchronise and I couldn’t find the right gear for the revs so 5 seconds out of a gear is an instant fail - but your video addresses this scenario so I’ll do that next time - so thanks for an excellent video - cheers
"Thank you so much for your time and information,,always have problems coming down in the 4-5 gears, again thanks for everything
Hi. Best "how to" vid I have ever seen on YT. Interesting to see how different folks "try" to 'splain how it is done. Good job!! I learned as a kid, my Dad showed me how to drive big trucks, so kinda grew up knowing, but I gotta say for folks just becoming truck drivers with manual transmissions, and zero knowledge of anything mechanical... it has to be like the hardest thing to grasp. Your video should ease them into it a little smoother. We all know there is no instruction that can get someone "new" to jump in and go off the bat, to anyone new reading this, it takes time to nail it but this video will go a long way to get you started!!
Great instructional video! I imagine takes a while to do this smoothly and safely.
Very will explained, I drove a 13 speed Eaton for years. Good Job!
I’m gonna use it when driving on American truck simulator, thanks for the awesome class. Take care.
Great video!!! Going for my Class A refresher course. This helped a lot.
Awesome. Never been in a big rig, semi-truck, tractor...but I'd love to do that some day. Fascinating, the options for operating such a transmission. Ever since I was a kid, the best thing about big rigs, aside from the air horns (!) has been the Jake brakes. I never knew the Jake was on while shifting up to get that sound (my Harley sounds like that when I shift up). I'm amazed you didn't even tap that pickup! BTW, you have the whitest set of choppers! Thanks for such an in-depth video! Safe travels to you.
Double Clutch= When double clutching you only push the pedal down a little over half way. It helps with the timing.
This was an excellent video. Thanks for this. I would have liked to see you downshifting while going up a hill, loaded. That was what I had difficulties with when I was trucking (in my previous life!)

@callthemall

The more gears the better for heavy loads as there is less of a gap between gears. I wouldn’t pull anything over 80’000lbs with a 10 speed. 13 is common for 80’000lbs. For what I’m doing (140’000lbs) it’s possible with a 13 speed but much nicer with the 18 speed.

Ten speed transmissions are for light loads. I have pulled heavy loaded Super B Trailers from the bottom of a hill (bridge construction!) and I wished I had an 18 speed. A 13 speed is OK for most heavy hauls but not climbing steep hills, or pulling a load of logs out of the bush in mud. With an 18 speed you can shift without it bogging on you. Fantastic transmission. You can even shift in reverse! I do that all the time. In soft ground you start the splitter in low. Get rolling and shift it. Saves the clutch big time!
I’m in the uk, don’t even drive trucks or lorries and I absolutely loved this video! So interesting, definitely subscribing as this is wicked! 😃

The company I work for now has all automatic transmission spec trucks. I miss shifting and also now work with young drivers who have never shifted a standard transmission anything let alone big rig. They get in a truck and hit D for drive and that’s it.
Damn I've very impressed by this video. He explains it very well and clear, I've always wondered how these drivers go through so many gears in massive size trucks and this video answers every question I would ask, even the double-clutch and clutch-less shifts, it's like he read my mind. Also, this guy looks like he's in his twenties yet he speaks with the wisdom of someone who's driven semi trucks for over 30 years, how the hell does that work? LOL!! Fantastic video, excellent work buddy!
Thank you for being so honest and admit that grinding may happen many times, I’ve been driving an 18 speed for a year now and they grind softly many times, I thought I was going to kill my transmission in no time.

Grinding once in a while will not hurt your transmission, as long as you do it gently. Never force it. I teach my students to use a light hand, and your transmission will never wear out. Just don't jamb it. Gently!
Man you’re the only one that helped and answered the question I was looking for. 😎
Good video there, Rubber Duck! 😆 Man, these new trucks have so much technology and fancy stuff now. I started driving big rigs in 1976. Drove all kinds of junk, 10 speeds, 13 speeds, even twin stick Macks. One thing I don't understand about new drivers, especially younger guys is that they like having their seat down low on the floor, barley seeing over the steering wheel and having to "shuffle steer". I preferred a higher seating position so you can get a good view of the road and everything around you. Seemed like a much safer way to go. Oh, and never would ever considered driving in stocking feet. Good work boots always. If I'm in an emergency situation and have to get out of the truck quickly, I don't want to have to look for something to put on my feet.
FINALLY someone explains it! Thank you!

thank you for this informatively video. in europe we shifting gears a little bit diferent first we have synchromesh gerboxes whos allows us shift with depress clutch once but we cant float gears because synchromesh tension do not allow do float but actually some drivers in order to save synchronizers do double clutching and also for this changin gears is smothier. Other diference is we have max 16speed transmisons and the we can split all gears reverse gear low range gears and high range gears. Spliter not activated until your press the clutch. Despite synchromesh gearbox reverse gear dont have synchromesh so if you try shift reverse you will grinding gear first you need stop gear box from spining so in order to engage reverse youll ned shift any gear and while your are depresed clutch not release the clutch and then shifting in reverse
