Thank you sir just got in a Brand New Cascadia automatic didn't have a clue owner the company didn't tell me anything about it I'm glad you did once again, do the Brotherhood
Thanks for that detailed explanation of how that shifter works, I know there are automatic transmissions in trucks now but never saw the shifter or knew how they worked. My curious side appreciates that :-) Drive safe!
You're welcome.
We just got 15 of these peterbilt trucks up here in Boston. Can't say I like it for beer delivery. The shift device feels chintzy when you are jumping in and out of a truck and the adrenaline is pumping to have to be all finesse instead of pushing a button or slamming it into gear to go. I can see it being good for highway driving but we are never asked what is best for us lol.
i like the automatic, good Explanation, i will buy a freightliner
In December 2021, I worked at a company the had a Kenworth, T680 I seem to recall, with an "Eaton Auto-Shift 10-speed". Damn thing would emit a DING DING DING while in "Manual mode". I hated this!
On rolling hills of West-Central Wisconsin I just bit the bullet, told my ears to take it, and kept the transmission in 9th-gear.
Needless to say-I did not last long at this company...
Stop resisting the Dark-Side!
Thanks for the info a lot has changed from my old times driving
Im now feeling in love with this truck awesome
If you have the depressive break you have most likely a Gen. 3 or newer transmission some Gen 2 and all gen 1 still have a clutch pedal I have a gen 1 and automatic mode for any kind of hills can become a big problem it will try to upshift and blow the and then you have to start over from the beginning
Thanks for explaining this. Technology is really something else.
Great explanation, thank you.
finally got a job after having my license since november. I chauffeur chickens locally :) driving a 2013 freightliner cascadia! auto
+thisis notforyou I see those trucks alot in Missouri near a Tyson plant
I like the way your shift gear's
Thankyou So Much Teaching New Students.
Your right to leave it in auto mode! It's going to shift in the sweet spot of your Diesel engine. Hopefully giving you all the pulling torque that the engine can provide. Computer controls are getting hard to beat!
I like it.
My company got after me for using the manual mode going down a mountain in colorado and i downshift going up and they told me that the freightliner dealer told them i was doing wrong by mannualy shifting and they dissable manual mode
@@isachiu1975 Oh wow! So when you leave it in Automatic it does all the downshifting ok in D when going down hills?
I took an automatic for a test drive…I explained I had never used an automatic previously could he drive. He said it automatic just like driving a car…mmm no it wasn’t. I’m researching now because I’m considering there is something wrong with that transmission, but maybe not. To pull away out onto the highway it was going through every gear making picking up speed very slow. I felt helpless with the automatic. This helps me understand it but would want to practice a bit too. I’ve used 18 and 15 speed standards but haven’t been in a truck for a few yrs. It was a single rear axle…
@@1walkinnlite new automatics skip gears based on speed and rpm
Welcome back!! I was curious to how everything would work in an automatic.
Curiosity level full.
some drivers who know how to drive manuals are being put into some of the trucks that have manuals because they have low miles and they don't want to get rid of them yet. Very very few though
10-4
Great vid
Im used to manual transmission and drove an automatic this week for the first time.
Backing was next to impossible for me. The truck bucked and lurched the whole time in reverse. Seemed to either be stopped or jump to high speed with even the slightest touch of fuel. Couldnt gradually back or feather in and out of movement like a clutch.
Was actually dangerous.
How in the world do you get used to that?
Any tips?
Carl Yungmann That is going to take some time to get used too..
I have found if you have a little weight on the foot break and throttle at the same time you can control her in reverse better. A bit hard on the clutches if you keep it up too long but once you start moving thing work better.
Let me guess an international.!!! Mine does that shit
@@bp218
I drove a 2006 Volvo with the same "wait; wait; SLAM backing.
the company I'm at has all automatic Freightliners and Peterbilts, sofar i like it.
+James Crisman I like it as well.
Which company is this ? ...........
Dale I must say thanks for all your videos. After a lot of thought I have put my application in to maverick. We'll see what the outcomes are in the next few days. And yes I put your name down since I don't know anybody else that drives for maverick.
Good luck. I hope it's everything you hope it to be.
And thanks
Hey Dale, Can please make a video or maybe refer to the one , you have explain in any of your previous video. My issue is that how do I use the feature of engine brakes when going down grade of this very same auto shifter Sami?
Hope to get your attention soon.
Thank you
Shahzad
Often wondered why you don't use Tri-Axle Trailers for better weight distribution in the good old USA, especially with 53 footlength (no need for sliding tandems) ! Also no movable headboard on flat trailers ? help to stop cargo moving forward ? Here in the UK max 9 hours per day driving time (but can do 10 hours twice a week) also 45 min break after 4 & half hrs driving. 90 hours max in a Fortnight (that's English for 2 weeks/14 days). good quality footage & interesting stuff you put out, cheers. Nick
The weight of a third axle on a trailer contributes to the gross vehicle weight, which, for the most part is 80,000 pounds here in the USA. This added axle weight means less cargo capacity for the entire rig.
+Nick Hawker I'll add to what bassbone52 said by letting you know that the trailers that aren't flatbeds usually have sliding tandems and are allowed 34k on the trailer axles, 34k on the drive axles, and 12k on the steers (generally), but most flatbed trailers have spread axles and are allowed 40k on the trailer axles, 34k drives, and 12k steers. Again, this is generally speaking and there are exceptions to the rules and specialty equipment.
***** Yup! We used a hydro vac service and they had a tri axle straight truck that was allowed 80k total on 3 axles. Crazy that those trucks can take that much weight. Typically trucks that have 20k on their steers aren't normal tractor trailer combination vehicles, but dump trucks and other specialty straight trucks.
Nick Hawker Some companies do use tri axle trailers for heavy haul and box trailers hauling between 80k and 100k.
Wow and people complain about the hours of service in the US. That's wack as hell how do you make any money
I'm driving 55 miles per hour down hill in ATS! LOL!
I've been looking at buying a 07 Columbia and it looks like it has the same shifter. I'm just nervous about taking off on snow and ice. I can rock my 13 speed if i need to but don't know what i would do with a auto.
I have a 2016 cascadia and after driving automatics for 4 years now, I will probably never go back to stick. Yes there might be a small loss in power but the way my truck is spec'd I still pass 90% of the trucks on the road and I'm governed at 68. Anyone who still gripes about sticks being better is just scared of change.
I have driven the automatic ones,and to be honest.the day,they stop making stick shift. I will quit.worst transmissions ever to back in to a dock.yes they are very easy to maneuver around ,cause you are not shifting. But overall, never like a stick shift truck.specially the super 10,with a N14 detroit.550 hp.no way an auto is going to pass me.
Thanks for your help from Victor emalahleni
I saw a guy who used cruise control when going up and down hill He set the speed it did all the shifting and used then engine brake to keep the speed. What’s your opinion on that technique?
I did that all the time. Works well. You can "set it" on the down grade and it will adjust the engine brake as needed on consistent grades.
Sure appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to explain how these new fangled trucks shift. I can think of a hill on 666 I would like to see what that bad baby can do. LOL
+Dan Webster (Paw Paw) lol, This baby goes slowwwww
If one of your gears goes out, can you force it to skip that gear like a manual?
If your transmission "Breaks" as you say, it will be completely situational, if it will be usable at all. You can select what gear to start out on, up to 3rd gear, I believe. I am guessing as I don't drive this anymore, and it's been a while.
Seems to me that the RNDL selector might get in the way while operating the paddle.
good info dale thank and havé a good weekend end👍🏻🍺
We', have a great weekend as well.
Thank so much sir.But,i have a question about changing gears.My question is :Can we change fro A to M without stoping the truck?
I was able to.
Can you downshift while in automatic mode,or do you switch to manual mode and then downshift?
You can downshift in auto and manual mode!
yes why would you the trucks going to do when applying the service break
when you slow down do you use the foot petal brake and engine brake selector switch at the same time. or just foot petal brake?
You should finish watching videos before asking questions.. especially on such a short vid. He answered this question in the video
dairey225 what kind of question is that like pardon
Welcome back, now all you need is auto pilot, lol.
I keep waiting for it.
If you place it in “L” while slowing down, it’s will down shift more aggressively for you
nice one
Thanks for the videos Dale, you're helping me decide who to go with. Question, I assume that you have some kind of indicator that lets you know what gear you're in?
+Todd Grove Yes, the dash shows the gear the Truck is in.
I drive a 2018 Freightliner Cascadia with the paddle shifter as you demonstrate. I pull a belly dump and go in and out of a quarry that has a very steep hill (I would say greater than 10%). I have yet to find the perfect sweet spot to descend that hill with little to no brakes, with max weight. My question is how to descend this hill with no (or very little) brakes and maintaining less than 2200 RPMs. Any takers to explain this for me?
Good question, I currently run a 2019 moving 105K max loads. I have found that I have to take a slower speed when I head down hill and not have to touch brakes. If my speed is to high my Jake can't handle it.
Great video man there's nothing wrong with liking the auto trand but for me i prefer my Eaton Fuller 18speed I've been using them for so long i get bored when driving the auto.
This is why "Copy --> Paste" is MUCH better than "Cut ---> Paste"
Preaching to the choir.
Ok. Só if I want to change the gear while my foot is on accelerater, do I take off my foot and then change the gear or I maintain my foot?
I never had to change my foot placement
Hi please explain more about e/p
Do you need to apply clutch when driving on automatic and you want to stop and do u use the clutch again when u take off?
No clutch in this truck
How to use the engine brake(button) in freightliner cascadia smartshift?
I have a quick question. In first 4 gears it is extremely slow. I mean sometimes at first gear rpm goes up to 1500 by itself and when I press the gas at this time it doesn't go to 2nd gear. Truck is getting stuck . Why is that ? I took it to mechanic and he said it is normal on my vehicle. He said if you want you can take it to manual and start with 2nd gear It is 2007 century class
Sorry, I don't know.
In a 2023. Why does it feel like I have so much resistance in reverse even with an empty trailer? It feels like I'm trying to push a mountain out of my way.
wierd, I never had an issue
Do you still think automatic transmission is good on this truck?...
I want to buy a truck like yours...
I think they are great still. The easy life.
thankyou sir for info. i have a question is cummins engine is good coz im gona buy cascadia with cummins please reply me thankyou
question: to check slack adjusters. you need Release the parking brakes?
+JULION MTZ correct
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a freightliner cascadia dd15 2017 question I'm driving in automatic and I reduce the speed to 10 or 7 and it automatically changes to neutral and then speed up and it takes 15 to 20 seconds to return the gear is normal thanks you
I think so, but it will be a better question for your service shop.
Are some smart shift 10 speed
Don't know
Wish it could skip gears empty,so slow
I don't like these cascadia shifters, I have accidentally hit the shifter out of gear into neutral while using the volume on the radio...the small yellow depress in the center of the shift button Is sussposed to prevent the shifter from moving out of gear, but if that's it's purpose mines isn't working.
I do that sometimes as well.
Oh thank God. I hate downshifting it is like pattin your head and rubbing your tummy and tapping your foot for the clutch, brake and throttle.
+Steve Ward Yes, my old truck I had to hit the paddle to down shift, now with my new truck, once I set the Jake Brake most of the downshift is done by the truck, in a manner of speaking .
one more question brother
which year freightliner cascadia started making automatic transmission 2013 or 14 ?
appreciate brother
Not sure. I drove a 2012 that was Automatic.
John Christoper hes talk about the the year of the truck not the video
Mishal Almutairi he doesn,t own this truck it belongs to his employer who owns maverick transportation which is a company truck
What about R2? How can get truck to go in R2? I’ve done it twice I just don’t know how I did it.
It may have different configurations, but not in the Maverick trucks at the time that I am aware of.
thanks for posting the video. You are also supposed to switch to manual mode before crossing railroad tracks.
Your welcome.
I am trying to get a used 2015 cascadia auto with 680k, how is their durability. And people say not the best in busy cities areas. Pls advice.
the engine brake(button) not work in freightliner cascadia 2016 smartshift
luis mendez then there’s something wrong with the truck. My dad used the smart shift in Columbia and it worked fine and in the Cascadia
Is the DT12 transmission same as this one?? and can haul flatbed?
+ryan meana I do not know any of the technical specs on this auto shift transmission sorry.
nice video man.
how you see so far freightliner auto shift .. is there's any issue with freightliner Cascadia auto shift looking to get one and need to know Plaza about the repairs for freightliner Cascadia expensive to fix or cheap was looking to get Volo 670 I shift drivers say not good for repair will take a lot of money is that true ?
appreciate for you
I have not had any issues with the auto shift for the entire time I have driven it. From what i hear, Volo''s are more expensive to repair here in the states. I am not sure what the cost of repairs are for my freightliner, its all paid by the company or complete in the Maverick owned shops.
thanks brother happy to hear everything going very well with you
Hey dale I was wondering what is the pay during training time in the truck when ur student driving
I believe mine was 500 or 550. One of those.
I have a smart shift 2007 freightliner columbia with that same shifter. It won't start and the screen reads PD. On the dashboard the check trans light is on and the engine protect light is flashing, what's wrong with this truck and can you help me??
+Allah Ali Sorry, I am not a mechanic. Anything wrong with my truck I have to call my company. This may help. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.roadranger.com/ecm/groups/public/%40pub/%40eaton/%40roadranger/documents/content/98132971.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjc_JmJwafXAhWE6oMKHUUnDVIQFggpMAA&usg=AOvVaw3bBXEvioMUuQdpy24zkHTj
Dale Clay thanks
Thank
;)
How do you turn the engine brake on? Can't figure that out.
Depending on the year. It is a combination of a button on the dash and/or using the shifter paddle like a blinker. it has 4 positions on some models. Hope that helps.
Where is the Jake brake located
Its the button on the dash called "ENG BRK" barely visible below the "Shift Down" lettering.
Does it slow down on the slightest hill
When hauling heavy , i believe so.
@@DaleLClay this is my first time driving an auto shift so I'm not sure if I need a new tranny or if this is normal
Do you have to have your cdl class A before coming to maverick ?
+LifeWith TheMays I am paying my CDL prior to applying to Maverick Transportation. I understand they now have a CDL sponsored program but I don't know anything about it. Maybe a good question for the recruiter there.
Ok thanks I will call them tomorrow to find out
Do you drive a lot of steep grades in flatbeds? Also, how does your EPU do in the summer?
I do steep grades every once and a while. EPU does great in the summer. I like it ICE cold and it does great.
+Dale Clay Thanks, I am having a hard time picking between Maverick and Melton. This weekend is my last weekend of CDL school so I have to choose soon.
Trucker Wayne Good luck. Go with the outfit that meets the needs you have the closest.
On the 2016, how does it do on a climb when max heavy 80k?
I had a 2015 and a 2019. All were slow up steep grades. Funny thing is. I would end up passing slower trucks. so it's not the slowest.
The FAST trucks are manual
I am not sure how that company arrangement works. If it's been bought and to be assimilated into Maverick. They will all turn automatic when those trucks are sold and replaced with new trucks.
I am thinking of posting video on line for my family and buying a laptop. Do you have any suggestions for the laptop and what kind of program to video edit?
+Crew f16 I use the Go Pro studio for video editing. Its Free, and easy. The only suggestion i have for a lap top is lots of RAM. All the new laptops are pretty nice these days.
Thank you very much.When already driving can you switch from D to L for lets say going down a hill or do you already have to be in L when starting out?Also does anyone know the max speed of L gear.Thanks
you can shift when you want, as long as the RPMs are not to high. It always starts in the appropriate gear, at least it did for me when I drove it.
Is this a 2013?
And how do u the optimizer idle?
This is to long ago for me to remember, the optimizer idle directions were on the visor though.
is that one is 10 spd?
So long ago I can't be certain. Possibly a 12.
When do you use the, "L" on the shifter?
I used it once when turning a tight corner going uphill
+George Travers +Dale Clay You can also switch into Low "L" mode when you are going down a steep grade and it will downshift for you at a higher rpm so the Jake brake will be more efficient.
Spencer Fiandt Something new to try. I always just do it manually down hills.
hi Dale,,, have a great weekend,, cheers
+Phil Snaith Thanks, will do..... hope you have a good weekend as well.
Have you ever driven a manual transmission semi?
+Justin Liles Yes
When did you get a new truck and are you going to give us a tour ? lol
There is a video of it from when I got it about 8 or 9 months ago ;)
+Dale Clay oh ok I thought you recently got a new truck.
Haha auto freightliner good luck going up mountains ! ;)
Its all a matter of weight being hauled and engine size. The Auto Shift operated flawlessly while I drove it. This is an old video.
@@DaleLClay I'm looking to get a 2015. Should I do it?
Thx
@@shisci1 Even though I didnt have issues that I recall with my 2015. I want to say the 2017 had an updated performance of the engine brake and transmission. Its up to you.
Dale Clay I have a 2010 I hope I will b ok with it
how many companies are using these
I have cerebral palsy you my right arm which would make it difficult to shift that I could pass the DOT T physical
I don't have a figure, but more and more companies are moving to these for fuel efficiency. Much like the Automobile, that in its early days had standard transmissions and then transitioned mainly into Automatic transmissions.
Dale Clay after I seen a guy missing an arm drive a truck I told my self I'm gonna stop making excuses about why I can't do things
+Brett Duffy Exactly. If you can pass a DOT physical they sky is the limit.
Dale Clay the doctor told me not to mention the the cerebral palsy
how difficult is it to parallel park a 53-foot trailer and truck if I borrow my friends cab with 20 foot trailer with that still work for the test
+Brett Duffy Backing is always difficult in the beginning. State law dictate the required vehicle dimensions for testing purposes. I would check with your local DMV office.

How do you turn on the engine brake
Either a switch on the dash, or if you have a newer truck its built into the shifter.
Thanks ...i have this bullshit smartshift...... My brakes were smoking......but thanks i found the botton...
Yeah my engine brake wont ingage ..... Even when i push the button...
Sorry to hear that, mine has three levels of engagement and from weak, to slightly stronger then the third level which is Super Strong. My engine break works rather well. I rarely need to touch any foot controls while driving.
@@DaleLClay but you have to be in manual when use the engine brake?? The other day I putting but were automatic and doesn't works...
But it still has a clutch right?
Yes, but no clutch pedal. Auto shift transmissions do all the clutching and shifting.
@@DaleLClay Thank you for reply. I saw one with the clutch pedal, and it has same shifter as yours has. The owner said it's for 1st gear only.
@@compasstrans Interesting, probably an early interation of this type of transmission.

Its still an automatic. Even if u try to shift it in manual. ughhh geez... i hate those things...
I loved it. Much better than the 13 speed.... my preference.
I see yellow and red p is for what
Tailer Air supply and Parking Brake.
Are still with them looking to come in use your name
He is no longer with Maverick.
And most people can't shift a Manuel transmission when they leave a company like yours . So they fail the road test
Everything in this country is becoming dumbed down.
+Tacoma15 a major part of driving a truck is shifting . The fun part is floating the gears
+paul austin Also, many trucking companies are starting the move to the Autoshift. Just like the Horseless carriage. Now the person that is able to drive a manual transmission is a rare breed it seems.

@@DaleLClay you can't start on a hill unless u have left foot on brake while giving fuel. If u go brake to fuel truck rolls back until gear catches and it hops around like a bucking bronco
