****WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL...you have to be in the proper gear BEFORE you start down the hill...failure to do so may lead to an "Out of control situation" that may cause DEATH!!!****
How to shift a big truck in 3 easy steps, LOL! When I got the silly idea I wanted to drive truck I searched You Tube on how to shift these things and really couldnt find anything good. I tried to make this as simple as I could. The biggest thing is not NOT over complicate this! Just think of it as a 5 speed... Lift the "high / low selecter" and it's another 5 speed. Slowing down is the harder part. Look at your speedometer, add the two numbers together and put it in that gear....Sounds easy? it is.... after a few days. Just remember when slowing down, in a worst case scenerio, if you mess up and can't get it in gear, you to come to a complete stop and start over...just throw your 4-ways on. Don't panic, stay calm, it's just a truck! In a few days you'll be shifting like a pro!!!
Hope this helps! If you have any questions, just drop me a line.

What a great tip about finding the gear you should be at 40 MPH. It was a very good video.

@c0sm0gyral80 5 лет назад

Appreciate everyone explaining that you don’t have to push the clutch in all the way when moving. I just started into the diesel tech world and my company requires me to drive the big rigs into the shop myself and cascadias are the only manual truck they have rn and to this day up until now I couldn’t shift and was too scared to work on these year model trucks for fear that I might damage the clutch and down a truck. Thanks everyone

I’m in CDL school now and after much practice, I was unable to drive a manual. They recommended I switch to automatic which I did. My hats off to anyone who can actually do it successfully. It’s not easy.

@tenzinwoeser1964 6 лет назад

Thank you. I am a CDL Class A Driver for almost 6 years but have been driving Automatic & 6 Speed manual which is completely different from 10 speed. Drivers talk of double clutching but never explained to me as simple as you did & even shifting the Gear without using the clutch which according to you will come after driving for quite some time. Now i know what double clutching is. Its engaging the clutch twice once to switch to the nuetral & the second to switch the higher or lower Gear. Thanks. Some of the viewers have commented to put on Pants but I dont care as long as its comfortable to you. Wearing a pant will not make a new driver know better but the way you make others understand better is more important. Thank you once again.

@FormerWMDriver 10 лет назад

Thank you. I've driven straight trucks on and off for the past 10 years... all of them were automatic. I feel just like you, my car is manual, but that's definitely not a truck. Recently I had the need to drive a manual and it was an ugly experience, I was over thinking it, and there was no one to properly train me. Thank you for this video, it was just what I was looking for.

@zainb2261 7 лет назад

Thanks for the vid man. Makes my life a lot easier. I'm getting better at floating the gears and honestly hate double clutching because of the toll it takes on your leg. I just need more practice like you said and will get better and better. Also like the trick of adding up the numbers to know what gear to get into.

@CaLi-TailzUp 10 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I got my Class A in 2011, drove for a month, quit, didn't do it again until late 2013. I was nervous about the time lapse and watching this video helped me get back into the zone. That company went out of business and I did other work until now, getting back into it and need these refresher videos again.

@SkilledEddie 8 лет назад

I watched another video and the guy said you shouldn't push the clutch down all the way when double clutching. You only have to press the clutch in slightly you''l feel the slop of the pedal go away and that's all you really need to push. The reason is if you press it too far you can possibly engage the clutch brake and destroy the transmission. You only bottom out the clutch at a complete stop going from neutral to a gear.

@trentcooper8894 8 лет назад

Don't push it all the way to the floor rigs have a transmission brake and you won't be able to shift also when down shifting get your rig at 1100 rpm slightly hit the clutch put it in nutrual then punch to get it up 1600rpms then grab a gear

@Yeffry42 6 лет назад

Add the two numbers on the MPH for example: 25 MPH you add 2+5 which is 7 so that’s the gear you use.

@jakesmith2984 5 лет назад

D W The speed. So if you're at 35,then 8th is the gear you should shift into. It goes every 10 15=6th 25=7th 35=8th 45=9th 55=10th

@jacob-v8567 5 лет назад

15 is 6, 25 is 7, 35 is 8, 45 is 9 and 55 is 10. Easy peasy.

That would never work in my truck lol. Rev to 2000 minimum before shifting. Every truck is different, I never went to a cdl school, I grew up around trucks and just went and took the test. But I know in the schools they don’t seem to teach you that every truck you drive will be different. They just have this 1500-1000 cookie cutter model

Get Feel For It. Use Engine With No Pressure To Shift. Clutch Engages Gear. Damn I Miss That Truck Sometimes. Took It Though Muddy Back Roads.

@gustavoaguilera3377 7 лет назад

#1 The accelerator (throttle)is released,the clutch pedal is pressed,and the gearbox is shifted into neutral.#2 The clutch pedal is then released,the driver matches the engine speed to the gear speed either using throttle (accelerator)(when changing to a lower gear )or waiting for engine speed to decrease (when changing gear to a higher gear)until they are at a level suitable for shifting into the next gear.#3 At the moment when the revs between engine and gear are closely matched,the driver then instantly presses the clutch again to shift into the next gear.The result should be a very smooth gear change. hopefully this helps cause I'm new comer to trucking.

@dannyw9546 5 лет назад

Thank you for this detailed video. Just a question on the last part about the traffic light turning green. Being that 10th and 5th are in the same location... Let's say you're in 10th and need to got 5th for speeds a bit below 15 mph, do you just push down to low range? or do you have to shift out of 10th, press down on low range, double clutch back into 5th

@AnthonyJohnson-lp3ez 2 года назад

Must clutch to transfer!!! It would just still act like the present gear your in.

@Garrison64 10 лет назад

You don't push in the clutch to rev for your downshift. Having the clutch in at that point is a common mistake of students in trucking schools. Once the clutch is in revving the engine accomplishes nothing because you just created a disconnect between the engine and the transmission. The whole point is to bring up the speed of the entire assembly not just the engine. So the correct way is to Press the clutch and move the shift lever to neutral. Let out on the clutch and rev the engine to the correct RPM (aprox 300 RPM higher than when you took the truck out of gear), then hold that RPM steady while you depress the clutch and put the truck back into gear.

@vikingvic 10 лет назад

is there a real need to push the clutch to the floor all the time while doubleshifting...? Difference between older trucks and different transmissions right? i tend to prefer floating..

@Garrison64 10 лет назад

The clutch should never be pushed to the floor while double shifting as that would stop the transmission and screw up the shift. This is true on any truck with a clutch brake old or new. It is only used to stop the transmission to get the truck into gear if it is out for some reason usually when first starting the truck. Floating is a totally different topic.

@kowal789 9 лет назад

I'm sorry but I noticed you explained by clutching all the way. This is incorrect. Trucks have a clutch brake that activated after a certain clutch depth has been achieved. To disengage the clutch without activating the clutch brake, you only need 2-3 inches of clutch travel. Constantly fully clutching will prematurely wear the clutch brake.

Who cares what Google says the truck drivers who do it for a living know the right way. That's the problem with the internet too many people read everything and think everything is fact.

"ITS JUST THAT SIMPLE"

@michaelr4063 8 лет назад

I don't mean to hate but this is both oversimplifying and complicating at the same time. I stopped halfway thru cause I couldn't take it. You can't just keep saying "it's that easy" because if it were than anyone could just jump in and do it. What you did do was gloss over the most important thing which is matching engine speed to road speed. Sitting in your underwear and socks moving a gearshift around doesn't explain what really needs to be understood which is matching engine speed to road speed and road conditions. It's all done by listening to the engine, knowing what gear the engine needs. It's all by feel and unfortunately the only way to learn it is by getting behind the wheel and fucking up until you learn it. It's only "that easy" once you've mastered it. That being said, it's not 'Rocket Science' and most will get the hang of it rather quickly. Furthermore I've never driven a big truck that would coast to a stoplight in 10th or 'top' gear.

exactly right. this is one of the hardest things you will learn in your entire life. it doesn't cost $2,500 to go to school for nothing.

@SkyNines 10 лет назад

Wow, Thanks man. This video really helps! I've always wondered how the gear system works in a 10 speed....

@benhasson136 10 лет назад

what's the point of double clutching?

@johnmcgilli 10 лет назад

Because the transmission is not synchronized like a car or small truck, the gears will grind if you don't double clutch. When you take the clutch back out while in neutral, it gets the gears spinning again and you can select the next gear with out a grind, although if you are at just the "right speed", a double clutch or even a single clutch isn't necessary as the "right speed" will let the gears slip from one to another (you can do this in your car/truck as well). You have to learn/feel what the "right speed" is.

@georgejacobs4050 6 лет назад

Ben Hasson Because on a new driver with a CDL the examiner expects it. Once you get your CDL then you can float.

@jamesdelaney5329 6 лет назад

Ben Hasson if u want your cdl u have 2 double clutch 2 pass the test if u dont no cdl

@MetalPork 8 лет назад

using double clutching is not the best way to shift mostly if you are in a big city area. I drive trucks with 10-speed transmission everyday and I have never used that technique

@zainb2261 7 лет назад

Best way is to float the gears from what I've been taught. I'll admit I'm a new driver but I did get my licence so I just have done something right.

@xxstarforbrianxx 11 лет назад

Thanks so much. You've really done a great job at simplifying how to shift. The school I plan on attending has FLD120's with 10spd's in them so this helped a ton.

@altoncrosland 10 лет назад

Awesome advice. To be honest I drove a 10 speed years ago. And I'll admit I forgot alittle. This video is great if you want to brush up.

@joeypasqualina7895 10 лет назад

EVERYBODY WATCHING THIS VIDEO... THIS GUY IS A STRAIGHT NEWBIE TRUCK DRIVER! FIRST MISTAKE- LETTING OFF IN FIRST IT IS NOT AT ALL THE SAME AS A CAR. YOU DONT LET OFF AND GIVE IT GAS AT THE SAME TIME. YOU SLOWLY LET OFF THEN THE TRUCK WILL START ROLLING. THEN WHEN YOU FOOT IS OFF COMPLETELY THEN GIVE IT GAS. WHEN SHIFTING ITS ALL BY THE EAR. YOU GO HALF WAY INTO NEUTRAL AND HALF WAY INTO SECOND!!! YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO GO ALL THE WAY IN. ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF OF YOU START TO LEARN HOW TO SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH. WHEN DOWN SHIFT AGAIN HALF WAY IN GEAR. AND DONT LISTEN TO HIM SAYING HOW TO REV IN A SPECIFIC RPM. YOU REV THAT BITCH. FLOOR IT. THE GEAR WILL FLOAT IN WITHOUT THE CLUTCH! PLEASE TAKE IT FROM ME IVE BEEN ONLY DRIVING FOR TWO YEARS BUT I WAS LEARNED BY THE BEST. NOT SOME TRUCKING SCHOOL THAT WILL TEACH YOU THE WRONG WAY TO DRIVE. AND THAT PERSON IS MY FATHER WHO HAS 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. AND OWNS HIS OWN TRUCKING BUSSINESS.

@BigDish101 7 лет назад

Still have to double clutch for the CDL test...

@truckertodd4567 7 лет назад

joey pasqualina 27yrs here your right except we real drivers call it giving fuel not gas. lol

Why are you guys replying to a 3 year old comment?

@russellmoore5711 6 лет назад

The same reason I'm liking a two month old comment.

@mv5596 4 года назад

Do not push the clutch all the way down when shifting that’s a “clutch break” you will grind.

@jimmypineault2648 4 года назад

Clutch brake *** 🤣🤣

@mv5596 4 года назад

Jimmy Pineault how is that funny?? I made mistake who cares, you think you’re perfect?

@mv5596 4 года назад

Jimmy Pineault I’m a truck driver not a f***ing English teacher...break or brake makes no difference to me at least I’m trying to help people with actual problems.

@jimmypineault2648 4 года назад

@@mv5596 well if you are tryin to help tell people to not watch this video .... its sooooo incomplet to shift properly ! Because hiting his clutch brake not the only thing he need help on !

@jimmypineault2648 4 года назад

Why you so mad ! 😅😅 i think i just hurt your feelings dont i !?

@watchyourtubenow2009 10 лет назад

I have my CDL A for 8 years now and never went to driving field because a job i didn't think i get, eventually i got it and work for them since then, After watching your video, all the stuff the driving school taught me, came back naturally. I, wish some company would hire me as a part time driver, as i am considered inexperienced since i didn't drive for 8 years.
