PACCAR reports over 80% of all new trucks ordered from them are being ordered with automated transmissions. Fleet managers are telling PACCAR the new crop of young drivers cant drive a stick and the expense of replacing burnt out clutches as they learn is killing the trucking firms. !
Then the gear box rotation stop clutches and clutches need to be build more robustly, they need to be up to the job, they probably need to build a more robust thicker clutch disk, or a more easily meshable gearbox, there shouldn't be any truck gearbox that can't stand up to haul work or new drivers, a gearbox shouldn't be that precious

Thats pretty bad, tbf I once went through a narrow gap in the kerbs a went through on my wheel rims cos it squashed the tyres but there was absolutely no damage other than six scuffed ally wheels 😅
Looks like 1 strap per, directly on center 2x4,2 straps on last stack, and a bulkhead in front that is as high as the load. No x strapping on back or front or double strap on front stack .. all of which I think a non dedicated flatbed would use.
You shifting 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (Range up) then shifting 5th then splitter forward that was 10th or 12th Please ? My second Question is You're driving 5th gear with splitter forward then push splitter back and then shifting 6th that was 12th or 14th Please ?
@@1966human Thanks foe that - I watch it again in April 2024 - Now I request one thing that how to use that 18 speed climbing the hill I mean 1st gear + splitter forward, 2nd gear + splitter forward, 3rd gear + splitter forward, 4th gear + splitter forward / range up 5th + splitter forward etc... up to 8th + splitter forward
Thanks for the vid, just a newbie question, what is the 'air bag - up/down' (when you need to confirm the gap between prime mover/trailer) is that activated from inside the driver compartment before you proceed with the connect/disconnect?
It is activated with a box type controller ( removable and connected by electrical cord ) after disconnecting from the king pin on the trailer, otherwise you will hang your prim mover ( truck ) up on the king pin. when connecting the prime mover to the trailer go under the trailer ( skid plate ) with a gap between the turn table and the skid plate and put the air bags up so there is no gap and then connect to the king pin and do a tug test to make sure of the coupling
No experience ? $2000 - $5000 aud expect to fail the first go ( with no experience standard ) problems with driving is drivers merging super close to the front of your car/ truck access to load or deliver points ( getting gates to open ( and stay open ) and overcomplicated security ( 1 hour get to knows ))
Stacks of time to learn how to drive trucks mate, I didn't get into a semi until I was 50 years old and its starting to get a bit boring already, no rush, plenty of time
