I'm starting my first job after passing my CAT C licence soon and it's in a manual truck. I'm quite apprehensive due to only learning and doing my test in an auto, but this video has explained alot and makes it look less daunting. Thank you
Hi Hayley, this video is spot on as I have just passed my class 2 in an auto and you can bet your bottom dollar that my first driving job will be in a manual.
What a great tutorial on the use of a 4 over 4 gearbox. Importantly you demonstrated the importance of making progress in a road situation. I think your teaching/lecturing skills have and will stand you in good stead. I further suggest that K Transport have trainer/mentor in the making. Perhaps future videos could feature: Roadcraft, drivers hours, more advanced tacho use and safe loading. Almost DCPC stuff. Very enjoyable!
Hey Hayley. You have no idea how much I love that particular lorry (Scania). You really doing amazing job and thank you so much for taking much of your time showing us such great work. I have never driven one like that before but it is always in my dream to see myself one day driving it.
Great video im driving over 30yrs deferent times i learnt on the move by myself never thought anything about changing gears, now watching your videos now im watching how i change gears, its so good this video,
Hello Hayley, I've watched a few of these videos about how to master 4over4 gears and your has been without doubt the best I've watched well done for explaining what can be a confusing skill to master, keep up the good work.
Good luck for your test Rob! Slow and steady, take your time & you'll be fine. Assume every traffic light will turn to red on the approach. It's also better to get a minor for 'hesitating' on a roundabout than a fail for cutting somebody up. Let me know how it goes? :)
Great video. I have the same gearbox in my truck. And I'm pulling a trailer once or twice a week. It is 2 ton payliad weight and the truck carries mostly 3 ton and the lower 4 gears come into play. Mostly the truck alone I'm using the gearbox like you are now. Watching your review counter is a good tool so you run the engine in the desired torque band
Had forgotten you'd done this video until I did a TH-cam search. I had an assessment in a manual class 2 tanker this week. Dude was like we're going out in a manual. I'm a new pass, so never used one and it's my 1st assessment after passing. He talked me through it, passed my assessment, just need more experience with the gearbox. Glad to say I've got the job an all. Watched your video and it kind of makes sense now I've had a short time (1 hour) using the 4 over 4. Your video will help for when I start with the company, I can relate back to it. I've got someone with me for the 1st few days anyways to give me help and guidance
It’s well seeing that with a woman explaining the functions of a truck gearbox all we got was the facts, no macho garbage, nice one Hayley. I’m not that into trucks but my 2 1/2 year old son now wants to see all your videos, he loved it, which makes me a very happy daddy, thanks Doll, keep up the good work. ( I hope you ain’t offended by me saying Doll, just an old dudes way of talking).
👍great tips, im studying the class 2 theory book, so that im prepaired😅its gonna take me while to get to grips on the gear changing, hopefully my instructor will explain things as well as you have😎👍
The cutting out is a rev limiter It is a system where to stop you revving past a certain point and damaging the engine . Excessive revs will cause whats called valve float where the valves cant open and close fast enough and risk coming into contact with the piston then blowing up the engine . Excellent video by the way . Easily the best example of showing an 8 speeder . Easily cpc quality . Hope to meet you on the roads in and around walsall and the black country as im very local :-)
I love your Newcastle accent, boy do I miss a manual gearbox, most new truck are auto's, I'm really jealous watching you flip up and down the gears. Great video.
Really enjoying your videos I've recently just passed class 1 C+E in an auto box had an interview for a job they have a couple of trucks with manual boxes so you've definitely brought me upto speed 😀
Although I'm just starting my truck training; you can hear that the engine seemed more happy with the block changing and seemed to pull better. Guessing more effective with the torque and turbo kicking in at lower revs. The cut-out is maybe a torque limiter? Less gear changes would probably mean less wear on the clutch too . Nice smooth driving, Good vid
Thanks Hayley, Just saw the the truck I'll be doing my training / test in and its a 4 over 4, the only difference is its a 'slap over' instead of a switch ... ill have to search 'slap over' now .. excellent tutorial as always .
Good on you Haley lovely to see anybody use a manual gearbox especially these days with automatics I love my my manual gearbox in my 03 Scania would not change it especially in winter you can feel more more than a automatic especially driving in snow and ice keep up the videos love😙
Hayley, when skipping gears as you go up or down the gearbox, that's called Block Changing. Applies to cars, lorries and motorcycles. Gearboxs which soon run out, or only last a few metres, are generally called Close Ratio Gearbox. There isn't much difference between one gear and the next. That's why you end up skipping gears cause its not worth the effort of using them all, but it gives the ability to closely match the engines revs to given road conditions. On the A27, can't remember if its the Hangleton Interchange, there is a roundabout onto a steep downhill on ramp to the A27. In a Luton van it can just manage to go 1st straight into 6th skipping the entire box. Only possible with Sir Issac Newton's help. Automatic gearboxes are actually Torque Converters.
I believe the “loosing power” thing is a rev limiter to prevent the engine over revving. I’ve driven a van that did a similar thing if you didn’t get out of first pretty quickly, from memory I think it was an old shaped Vauxhall Movano.
Great video, nicely explained manual transmission. Manual transmissions are still unsurpassed in certain situations on which the driver's life often depends. This was also shown on heavy passenger limousines. Greetings Hayley.
Haley thanks for the no nonsense induction into a manual box . (This is my second time view( I'm there'll be more) I starting a New job in 2 week's and so I been told they give new starters the old banger which is a 4 over 4 . Apparently when I've proved myself they put you in a newer auto truck. Thanks for the theory lesson . I'll update this when I do the practical 👍
@@TruckDriverHayley yes I'm into my 4th week now All going well , after a week training with another driver I was given a 2019 auto DAF ! Which is going well . Stay safe 🌈
Hi Hayley. Just subscribed to your channel. Love all your vids so far keep an coming. Look after yourself and keep on trucking. Love this video looks so easy but sure it took time to get your head around. Take care hun plus nice tattoos 👍
Very interesting, great photography showing gear change, I've heard of Tall gears, but never Longer ones 🤔. It's my understanding that truck engine's have a narrower rev range, (engine RPM), and the same with the Torque (torque is what does the work to accelerate, power keeps it there) requiring closer gear ratios. Good to see Wolverhampton from the cab 😀 MotoGP is back yippee!!!!!. Stay safe and thanks for sharing. Regards John.
@@TruckDriverHayley yes, great to have some top 2 wheel sport at last. I have heard a motorcycle or car refered to as having long legs, ref where engine RPM is low compared to a high top speed, probably from an athlete having long legs and slow cadence. The opposite is having short legs, and running out of breath or short of breath when an engine does not ref to a high value...confusing or what 😰😰😰😰. With regard to having a gearbox, manual or automatic the low ratios ( 1st, 2nd etc), on a car, truck or any internal combustion engine (ICE), the gearing magnifys, or in increases the torque from the engine ( measured in Newton metres or Lbs Feet), the power (measured in kilowatts or Brake Horse Power (BHP), or PS ( German horse power) is always the same, it never changes. I'll go back to sleep now. Brmm, Brmm. Regards John.
This looks complicated to get used to. I’ve seen these gears in some of nessas videos too but I thought lorries were automatic. Shows how much I know lol. Great video Hayley.
Hayley .. you've come a long way in a short time and now 'using them as you need them' ...... next experience will be adding a splitter (probably on your class one artics) doubling the amount of gears ...... You'll do it with practice I'm sure ...... The engine 'cutting off' is it reaching its governed rpm - the same as revving it flat out whilst standing still ...... On the 'overun' (say going down a hill loaded in a lower gear) never let the engine go past its governed rpm .... serious engine damage due to 'overspeed' can occur .... Nice to see you back on the road .... Kind regards.
Done my first class 2 lesson the other in a 2005 Volvo fl180 4over4 gear box nervous as heck but it went well reverse was grand the gears take a bit of getting used to when stoping and when to flick the switch up and down when going through the gears but after a few lessons it will be easy I think the main thing in a truck is mirrors and watching everything that’s going on around you especially bikes and motorcycles and pedestrians big difference from car van to truck but I have to say it’s brilliant to be able to drive one can’t wait for the next lesson if you have any tips Hayley they will be more than appreciated 👍🇮🇪
I'm sure you've finished your training by now? The flicking gears thing is really strange but after driving a 4 over 4 for nearly two years I often found myself trying to switch up and down in my car! Haha. All the best to you 👍🏻
Hi Hayley Ur little videos r a great help to me at this point in time with me still training but what does Ur partner think of u truck driving just wanting to know
Once drove an ERF with 16 gears. So complicating I had to go with their driver for a test run before taking it on the road... alone! One driver , a few weeks later blew the gearbox as he couldn't get the hang of it and drove in a low gear on the motorway.
So what is the Gear/Speed match? Had an assessment drive today and my instructor was ticking off my speed as I was coming down through the gears in order to cheat the lights.
hey haley,just found your channel,im in the USA,have family/friends that are truckers,but i've not ever heard of a 4 over a 4,ive heard of 5 and a 4,6 and a 4,but these are in older trucks and some are what they call a twin stick meaning 2 shifter instead of 1 and theres no switches on them like a splitter or range change switch like yours,most here now before they switched to automatic were as low as an 8LL,9-speed 10,12,13,15,highest is 18-speed,they used to have a 16-speed spicer,ours are eaton fuller,or eaton road ranger,and not sure about your trucks there but ours have a clutch brake and require double clutching to shift them up and down but most drivers float the gears where they shift without using the clutch,so great job driving these are you pulling 1 trailer or 2?
European gearbox configurations are usually 8 speed(4 over 4), 12 speed (3 over 3 with a splitter) or 16 speed (4 over 4 with a splitter). Synchronised gearboxes have been the norm since the 1980s so you just shift as you would in a car. The Eaton 12 speed twinsplit was quite popular in the mid to late 80s so there are drivers out there of a certain vintage who know their way around a crash-box.

Thank you Hayley!! I'm about to drive a 4 over 4 for the first time - really handy preparation video!!
When I crashed the Council Van into A fence the Boss Said What gear were you in when you Crashed,I said jeans boots and A donkey jacket....
This is so nice, best tutorial so far on how to engage & disengage the 8 gears,,,,
I'm starting my first job after passing my CAT C licence soon and it's in a manual truck. I'm quite apprehensive due to only learning and doing my test in an auto, but this video has explained alot and makes it look less daunting. Thank you
how was it?

Your a good person putting all these videos out there for people like myself, and sharing you knowledge. thank you very much 😎✌️👍
Hey. Thank you so much. Passed my class 2 in 2013 haven’t touched a lorry since. This has helped greatly. Appreciate it. Well done
Passed my cat c in a manual today, you're videos helped a lot. Keep up the awesome work ☺
Congratulations 🎉 🥳🎉
By far a great teacher and makes so much sense. Thanks

Fabulous video, gave me a lot of knowledge, I’m slowly getting prepared for my training after my medical, something new a learned today. Many thanks
starting a new job with a 4+4 splitter tomorrow, and i want to thank you for this video. really helped. subbed :)
Thank you. Glad it helped 😁
Hayley watching this video made me think you were an excellent teacher. All the best. I don't know where to find smiley faces on the computer so : )

Very interesting and informative video. I have problems understanding my three speed Sturmey Archer bicycle gears, never mind lorry gears.
Excellent video! You explain very clearly. Thanks for making this. Best wishes with the channel and its growth 🙌
Interesting point for non-truck drivers to understand about skipping gears.
In fact, also on modern 6-speed cars, you can jump speeds like 3-5 or 4-6.
Thanks Hayley, Just saw the the truck I'll be doing my training / test in and its a 4 over 4, the only difference is its a 'slap over' instead of a switch ... ill have to search 'slap over' now .. excellent tutorial as always .

The Gardner engines of old were famous for this!
Its more to do with Horse power of a truck best between 1400rpm to 1800 than a car 5000 plus. HP at a lower speed = more "Torque" (Pulling Power)

working as a boss just now. win 10 up just now. love the video try no clutch 😂😂😂. and just rev. it works. if you have to do it. 😍😍😍.
Advanced car drivers use block changes both ways up & down especially if your using the top third of you rev range.

Hi Hayley Ur little videos r a great help to me at this point in time with me still training but what does Ur partner think of u truck driving just wanting to know
Splendid video.
Can you please do a video on how to steer a truck correctly without hitting cone or objects.
I will be making a video about steering and turning very soon 👍🏻
You Did A Sterling job Behind that Caravan
You're a bloody nutter 😂😂 lol
Brilliant video thank you !
I love it .... From 🇹🇿🇹🇿 Tanzania
Great upload, I always wondered.
fairplay hayley , i like manual gears in trucks ,then have your half gears also
Once drove an ERF with 16 gears. So complicating I had to go with their driver for a test run before taking it on the road... alone! One driver , a few weeks
later blew the gearbox as he couldn't get the hang of it and drove in a low gear on the motorway.
Brilliant explication, thank you 👍
Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you
Also good fun for high speed revering ...
Awesome hayley thanks am doing my hgv at the minute, learning the gears was biggest fear 👍🏻are u on tiktok?
Good luck with your HGV licence. The gears are really easy, most trucks are auto anyway. No, I don't have tiktok 😊
So what is the Gear/Speed match? Had an assessment drive today and my instructor was ticking off my speed as I was coming down through the gears in order to cheat the lights.

I still stuff it up in a knock box 🤦🏻 and I’ve been driving since 2005 lol Still prefer a manual truck to an auto....great video 👍🏻
I love the manual gears. Not a fan of the autos 😁 Take care
Truck Driver Hayley hate autos, I’ve always managed to get a manual 😁 even though they’re few n far between these days...
Hayley, can someboby sitting next to the driver to see how to see work?
Hi. So when the engine cut off during uphill and I at let said 2nd gear and should I shift to 1st or go to 3rd?
If the engine is cutting off uphill then go down a gear to 1st 😊
More tutorials please
sounded like a steps song going through that gearbox (lol)
I did say that but that was the footage that ended up being corrupted haha 😁
Like your progres but alot of companys use automatic trucks now would you not prefer that more relaxing drive with automatic gearbox
Doesn't bother me, I liked the manual 😊
