no matter how good you are. do not switch gears in a turn, especially in the snow. You have 40,000lbs that wants to go straight, you need power to pull it through the turn. I pull 5 axle trailers like 90,000lbs and it will push you and put you into a jackknife if you roll/coast through a turn. Bad habit to get in switching gears in a turn
Those who drove a semi truck and make videos for you tube at the same time should be prosecuted and your license should be revoked! You're a danger for the public! Your attempt to gain RU-vid followers and fame isn't more important than safety of others driving around you!
lol. its legal my friend. im not holding it in my hand. its hands free. but i do value your safety concern and appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. thanks Ray.
Excellent driving, but I have a question. In my 48 years of driving I have never shifted with the Jakes on. It can mess up your shifts and wreck stuff real quick. In my recent job I was given a Peterbilt 379 with a Cummings engine, and too my complete surprise I could shift with the Jakes on. They have a small delay in the Jakes that allows this, but in most engines, I don't think it is a good idea. Shut the Jakes off. I do downshifts with the Jakes on. BTW, I pull Super B flat decks with heavy steel loads and I often start off in low gear, and I sometimes split some of the low range gears. It's easier on the engine and saves fuel.
I could float gears fairly well and one day on a trip from Maine to Alabama, the clutch went out on the FL Classic I was driving just before the border of Maine and I had to get the truck and 53 reefer back to the shop... All the way, No Clutch at all, shut down at every full stop, start in gear and float every one, up and down, in traffic and pulling hills too. 10 days experience in a 13 speed. Previous truck was a 10. No problem.
You got it my friend. Glad it was helpful! Watch my other videos too. I have over 100 videos. Please support my channel by Subscribing to my channel. Thank Ray.
Very few canadians have there driving videos mostly all you tube videos are USA drivers. Good to see Canadian showing thing or two to all new drivers like myself.
Don"t let the manufacturer know you"re floating an R/ Ranger, warranty will be dishonoured, generally floating any Eaton or similar box does cause extra wear on shafts , gears and synchronisation normally having friction stress removed by half depress of clutch. Eaton specifically state in manual, do not do clutchless gear shifts! There is a good reason for this, life of transmission and damage albeit inadvertent when a shift goes wrong! Having said that i I have been known to clutchless shift! But with three and four trailer roadtrains (140 ton plus) we run here in Australia I would be ultra carefull with any RR under the high torque and weight loads imposed on a drive train under these conditions. The gearbox was designed for the use of a clutch, otherwise buy an auto. Jus sayin'
sarfaraz patel well if I drive tractor trailer u will need one for long distance and in cities as there are routes u r not allowed to drive on or a bridge might be too low n u hit ur roof off!! But a good one is over $500. A general rule is to drive on roads that have a #. Meaning it’s a major road.
depends if you are going up or down hill. and if loaded or empty, generally between 12-1500 to upshifting and 1000-1200 for downsfiting. thank you for a great question Be sure to hit SUBSCRIBE :) -- Raymond Harlall
1500 RPM is the safest way float gears in a big rig then to downshift wen its at 1300 rpm then take it out of gear and rev it up to 1500 rpm to downshift
In low range you can shift at 12 or 1,300 RPM. When you get into the higher gears you can run it up to 1,500 RPM. There is no need to run a modern truck any higher unless you are climbing a hill. In that case I might run it up to 1,700 RPM. This is called progressive shifting.
