Graduated CDL school last year, had to prove I could double clutch then I was fine to float.
I made the mistake today. I was turning my hand to the left. It is the bolt you turn to the left.
Yea nope just give me an automatic 😂😂
I totally agree with you. They need to go back to state troopers doing driving test. That’s how I got mine too.
I got mine over 30 years ago, and you make that sound a lot harder than it really is.
Good Information. i have a 1998 international truck sitting for10 years.I am rebuilding it , It had low diesel in the tanks.Should I replace the diesel Pick up tubes in the diesel tank. I would appreciate your answer.Thanks.
@ghungroo3850 If you can pull the pickup tube out, just inspect it for damage or clogs. I have never been able to pull a pickup tube out of a fuel tank holding diesel fuel. In my experience the pickup tube has always been welded to the bulkhead fitting (bung) and the bung has always been welded to the fuel tank. I never had any problem with a fuel tank holding diesel fuel. However, I did replace a gas tank on an old car because there was a lot of rust inside the tank. It was easier to replace the tank than it was to get the rust out. Another time, I had to replace a sending unit because the pick-up tube was clogged and welded to the sending unit. It was in a tank that held gasoline. Truthfully, I would have to see it to make an assessment. That's all I can say. I wish I could tell you more.
Finally someone talked about the bolt. Now, let me go tap it. Thank you
@@LocdnlogistixMisha You’re welcome.
The guy that gave me my test was a family friend he just had me pull forward then back up then said you are good to go that’s all I had to do
I found ramming the unit back into the trailer with the trailer brakes on worked, but i still had to shimmy the handle to get movement
Are you sure about clutching again before after rev-matching to downshift? I guess I've been floating for so damn long that I don't remember that second clutch before downshifting to the next low gear. Aside from starting out and stopping, I only use that clutch pedal when the gear hangs up or to pull the shifter out of place for a floating downshift when it's a little tough to pull-out! Like, I've literally forgotten how to double-clutch. Every single time I try to do it, I end up single clutching. So, to avoid that, I just prefer to float up and down!
@@IndigenousAmericanTrucker The transmission is technically in neutral when the engine is revved. If you’re in 9th gear and want to downshift to 8th, the clutch is pushed down, shifter is moved to neutral, engine is revved, clutch is push down again. The transmission is then downshifted to 8th gear. The purpose is to get the clutch disc to spin faster than the engine and transmission. Think about a tire breaking off a car while driving down a freeway. Somehow, the wheel can outrun the car. You mentioned gears hanging up while going downhill, that was the purpose of double clutching.
Fuck that. I'll stick to floating
I was never taught how to double clutch properly. I wish I had known this. I picked up floating and never had an issue
You are not a truck driver you don't know who to
@@WJonez I did not write the comment above. I don't know anything about driving a semi. That's weird that the previous comment has my name on it???
Lol😊
You got more than one? I thought there was only one commercial license? What other CDL’s are there?
Lost my license and I was Grandfathered into CDL (had farm permit) in 91 so in 07 when I could get my license back went to take test and FAILED for not using clutch
Just set the trailer and back up to take the pressure off if you can’t crawl under the truck
Double clutching is the dumbest thing in the world. The only reason double clutching was a thing is because of the old synchroed transmissions you had to. Semi trans no longer have synchro's
now I see what double clutching is and fast and furriest makes no since to me now
Property tax is theft. The government owns your property when you pay property tax
How about you get it appraised and what you do is remove the interior doors, and make sure you get it appraised during the heat or cold and take the breaker to your heater and ac. If you have a gravel driveway put potholes down the property. All kinds of things.
Judging by that interior, property values aren't going up that much
@@Randyplaysguitars I paid $124,000 for my house. It’s currently worth 300,000.
124k value. If your house value doubled, the property tax (ave rate is .50%) would go up $50 a month. All states have annual caps on property tax increases. Your logic is flawed.
@@nicholassumpter732 My current property tax is $4700. In 2018 my mortgage payment was $1037. Now it’s $1200. I don’t know what my mortgage payments gonna be next year. Flawed, what a joke! I have documents that prove it.

@@24juan68 The sad part is… I truly agree with you! Obsolete information!
why rev when down gearing?
@@williambeebe1271 it’s the only way you can downshift. There’s nothing in the transmission that could synchronize the gears so you have to manually synchronize them by revving the engine.
Works on wives too 😅

Or if you pull the trailer brake and before you get out of the truck back it up a little to take the pressure off the jaws no need for the hammer and all will go smoothly
This is for idiots
It was the same way in 1993 when I got my CDL. With a state patrol officer. Truck driving school was two and a half months, five days a week, nine hours a day.
@@Mr.Atlanta850 I only had to do three weeks. First week was log books and Road Atlas. Pre-trip and post trip inspections. Second week was backing maneuvers. First day of the third week was called the bump and grind, rest of the week was driving. Friday was the final driving exam.
We all should know that one, pressure against the pin, set brakes. My problem is pulling the release to unlock and the handle will not stay locked, pops back in or it'll pop back in just before I pull out, this does this the most in cold weather... Any help appreciated.
@@arthursmith5409 what’s the model number of the coupler?
@WJonez I see two dirty tags on the front of the fifth wheel, but I'll have to unhook to see anything else and to clean up the spot.
Got my c.d.l.'s 😂😂😂
Anyone double clutching hasn't learned to drive yet 😂😂😂😂
Fontaine's are junk !! Most new trucks come with a holland fifthwheel
Clutch brake never was all the way down in the trucks I drove halfway down or a little less you'd tare up the break all the way down.
Super trucker
Yep , been there done that , old school training , great job , blessings to you
I drove a big truck for 21 years and I always floated the gears. I was so smooth that a passenger would swear that they were riding in a car with an automatic transmission. I never ever grinded any gears. I had a 13 speed, double overdrive transmission.
'Never'.Don't fib.
its been over 40 years for me,,LOL, it is completely diffrent when explained in words due to being so slow using words,,,,,it is like one thousand one and your already in gear LOL, been such a long time ago LOL.
Just about all of the major oil rig companies does that
@@jerrickmosley4534 The trucking industry is the same way. There’s a lot of people in the trucking industry that should not be in it, from the driver. All the way up to directors. They are not qualified. It’s the reason no one can make money in the trucking industry, cheap labor. Cheap labor isn’t skilled and skilled labor isn’t cheap!
Never understood why automatic transmissions are not used in trucks.
WD 40 works very well
The clutch is there for a reason, thats all I'm gonna say 😐
just another case of the freakin' gov't stickin' their stupid dumb noses is where it doesn't belong.........double clutching,,,,,,,,'''''''''''''the dumbest most useless thing on this planet except for biden and harris.........you don't touch the clutch unless you stop or start from a standstill..........
