@@andrewtrovao2397 to be honest with you, I think the problem isn’t the gearbox but me. It’s my first standard truck and I was driving it since 3 month when I recorded this video. Now it’s smoother, not perfect but a way better. But, I drove different trucks since that time and I’m shifting them like perfectly after 1-2 hours while I’m still struggling with mine sometimes. My 379 is a old lady so yes, maybe the gearbox is a bit tired you’re probably right Andrew

@@carlwilder9821 you’re very welcome Carl, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your comment

@@NejMoss4873 you’re right, I’m above the law ✌🏻

@@ndsts_ bien vu pour le drapeau 😉. Pour être honnête avec toi, a la base j’avais fait cette vidéo uniquement pour mon entourage. Je ne m’attendais absolument pas à faire autant de vue. Mais par la suite j’aimerais en faire plus, filmer mon quotidien ect … donc pourquoi en faire une en expliquant mon parcours, je te remercie pour l’idée. Si tu es curieux, je poste régulièrement des stories sur mon Instagram: alex.jgn

I’m hauling grain with a 8 axles super B in Canada. 140K lbs is my total weight (truck + trailers). But I’m loading around 94K lbs of grain per trip.

@@christianshadrick1150 thank you very much

@@alexjgn2776 not a problem

@@ronkorando826 no, i’m pulling a grain super B (bi train in Canada), 2 trailers and 8 axles in total

@@troelskiel1167 yes I installed this new steering wheel a couple days ago before recording this video, as well it was a noise when I was turning it but it was fixed a few days afterwards

I purposely don’t center my steering wheel I like having my hand on the spoke but can’t when the wheels straight

I'll tell you what happens if you negate the clutch totally. Some service guys don't realize you don't use the clutch, but, they keep packing the grease in, anyway. After some time, it gets hard as rock and you don't have a clutch. Buy a new truck and don't use the clutch... there goes your warranty. Another thing, I just retired after nearly 50 years driving and my right arm is loaded with arthritis. You might not notice it right away, but, you're not as balanced off in your seat as when you clutch, no matter how smooth you think it 'drops in'. Arthritis tends to go after the joints with the most wear. Sure, not clutching works great in many situations, but, don't let it become an ego thing. Helps to keep in practice doing both, too. Surprising how many pros 'forget' how to clutch after a time.

I do that also, been doing that for yrs

@@jakedragon646 you don’t need so much experience, that’s an easy job. I’m asking the old drivers when I don’t know something and it’s working well

You mean how much TRAINING do you need... experience comes with the work, itself. Hauling fuel, NH3, for example, requires more training than loading wheat. Yet, it's amazing how many calls I got from newbies on how much to load in a hopper... different commodities require different specs. Of course, if you're a farmer, the old adage is if you see a hole, fill it! (Roads be damned)

An experienced driver is using clutch only in 1st gear and to backup, otherwise you don’t need it

@@callmewheels4806 old drivers in my company told me to shift this way, it’s better for the gearbox they say, maybe because we are very heavy I’m driving a standard truck since 3 month so I’m still trying to find the best way

Only if it's already wore out and snatching into the gear when letting off the fuel to split. If not. I split mine normal.

​@@alexjgn2776 be easier on shifting. Find that smooth spot and leave the clutch alone unless ur starting off. Once u find that smooth spot they will float right on in with no effort at all.

Merhaba çok güzel olmuş hayırlı yolculuklar olsun

​@@JoeHumphreys-d2eyeah i agree with leaving the clutch alone. Leaves the wear and the need to adjust it less of an issue, saves money as well. Once he gets more experiemce he can float a gear at any rpm. I run my engine harder for heavy loads than this guy does too. Couldnt imagine being that heavy and running between 10-15 would be great on the liners pulling grades, or even engine recovery maybe on a flat is okay, kinda hard to tell if there is any grades on a video but... Usually with my 605 2050 x15 i try to keep it between 15 and 20 on any grade if im real heavy like that. Anyways maybe something to comment for the driver in the video to see. Who knows if itll help or not. Just my 2 cents.

It’s from 2007 and I’m not owner op yet, I hope soon but now I’m a company driver

Thank you ! Around 500 HP

@@alexjgn2776 is it enough for your super B?

@@cuongphung6374 yes it’s enough, plenty of torque and the 18th speed transmission is helping a lot as well

@@alexjgn2776 what is your diff ratio btw?

@@cuongphung6374i have no ideas sorry

Plenty of guys here in Michigan hauling 160,000lb trains 🤷🏻‍♂️

Here in Canada, depending on the province, the maximum weight is 140 000 lbs for super B

very normal in canada. we haul big boy loads up here lol

Yes, 63 000 kgs. Empty I’m around 41 000 lbs but loaded I’m around 140 000 lbs
