I love how the majority of these comments just slate the driver. Yes he doesn’t run the gearbox well but everyone starts somewhere. He’ll get better with time and he didn’t take any risks and stopped when he lost traction as to not cause mechanical damage. No harm no foul. Also is everyone forgetting this is a livestock trailer. If you don’t understand how this changes the way a truck drives maybe you’re the idiot.

To be fair to the driver he had to stop to let the other float come down the hill, I myself was a driver and I’ve had the same problem. I was a tanker driver and if you get stopped on a hill it is so hard to get up because of weight transfer, liquid all gathering at the back of the tank, but yes you are right in what your saying, the second driver made it look like a walk in the park.

I'm on bulk milk tanker work and I'd rather have a mid lift when losing traction on muddy hills. The milk's all at the back of tank and so I want my drive axle as close to the weight as I can get it, which you don't get with a tag config. The Gilder's truck would have been fine if he'd dumped the air.

Best advice!

Savage weight in these trailers while just empty.

Wheel spinning, better off putting diff locks on in super big grades & in the wet or damp it’s a must, then turn off diffs. Be prepared to drop two or three gears. Better to drop to a very low gear & wait until right at the correct speed to let out clutch if dropping 4 gears or more. If pulling way use crawler gear when fully loaded like he clearly is.

Don't worry lads drive is letting all the fluid's drain off the trailer Chill

trucks performing like the hopeless 450 engine.

Now that's how you handle a truck

This is not a struggle. The driver is obviously changing gears when he shouldn't.

Handbrake on . Crawler gear , low range . Off you go . Nice and steady does it. 🚛🚛🚛

It more than likely was his first time ther he will know for again

Well he got up there in the end .with just adamaged pride ..here's a tip from a long standing scania driver ..when you get into sticky situation like that stop &drop the air on all axles. Then press the lift axle switch &weight about 15 secs then press your ride height switch back to normal travel. Your lift axle is now in the air ..mid lift or tag ......max traction is now available

2nd axle....if nescesary diff lock and he is on top just like that

Does anybody get any sleep in that village . Doing stuff like that with the diff lock on can make expensive parts go bang . Had a tag axle 4 series years ago an it would climb big ben . To be fair though the slide bars once got stuck under the trailer on a hump back bridge . Was ok though friendly farmer towed me out his field .

The second driver didn't have a truck coming down....!

hope the sheeps enjoyed the jerky ride up n down the hill?

Should've knocked out down a gear or two before the climb, use the weight transfer button to add weight to the drive axle 🚛💨💨
