      For real. I paid $5200 for CDL school and it's mostly them showing videos from other truck training schools on TH-cam. Lots of illiteracy as well. If I hadn't done my own studying outside of school I wouldn't have passed the written part.

I experienced a lot of confusion and frustration in missing gears.

    The terms you used “low 8/high 8” etc really helped me to understand that Shifting UP rpm’s can be lower but downshifting they need to be higher! That’s huge. Nobody ever described it like that. I’m going for my CDL soon I drive for UPS and i am thankful for your efforts to help us. 🙏

    Thank you for all of your helpful videos. I am a 59-year old (covid related) displaced aerospace engineer. Needless to say, it is hard to find work in my field at this stage of my career and I'm not quite ready to retire yet. So, with the encouragement of a trucker friend, I decided to get my CDL and become an owner-operator and work with my friend. I signed up with a local school here in So-Cal and my test is on 10-23-2020. I don't really feel like the school is giving me enough training, but I already paid them in full and I am committed to staying with them. It seems like most of the schools in my area are more committed to taking your money, than helping people get their CDL.
    One of the problems I'm having is occasionally losing my place in downshifting when coming to a stop. I grind, then I panic and brake to a stop in neutral.
    Anyway, I wanted to say your videos have been a great help. I see you are in Texas. I just wish your school was in the So-Cal area. Thanks for all of your help on youtube.

    I done my UHR last December & the instructor was such a tense tosser if I missed a gear he’d freak screaming to rev right up, take the stick off me & keep screaming to rev to the point I was revving up to 17 then he’d slam the gear in then scream how I’m wrecking his truck & no one would ever hire me because I’ll be destroying their vehicle. I was so nervous about getting a job because in my mind I’ve missed gears and never drove perfectly. I had an interview today, I get trial days next week & today I’ve been watching video after video and while each one has helped, yours and another fellas about missing gears has absolutely settled my mind. I now know missing gears occasionally is just part of the drive. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Thanks for the informative videos!
    Currently, I've got a CDP, working through CDL road-test training sessions, & working towards testing in a month or two.
    Having not any experience with commercial vehicles, it's been a challenging journey thus far.
    However, I've embraced each hurdle with a hopefully good attitude.
    Through it all, I'm happy to say that things are slowly, but surely looking encouragingly towards success.
    I go into each session with an open mind and hardy work ethic.
    When I leave, I always look for things to study up on at home to hopefully come back better informed and motivated each week.
    I refuse to accept failure and am motivated that when I obtain my CDL, it will open so many doors of employment opportunity that I'll theoretically always be able to provide for myself and others in need as God wills.
    These videos have found their place in my supply of great study material. Thanks for investing your time in sharing!

      They have played an important role in my at-home studies, especially with adequately and thoroughly explaining shifting a 10-speed transmission, which I tested with.

    Really enjoyed this video. Working on getting my CDL-A now, and been having an issue with downshifting. But learning what you spoke about when it comes to road speed and rpms to get in the correct gear on the downshift. This video gave me some valuable information, and I noticed you were floating that clutch while driving, I'm learning that as well.

  • @CDLTaiV

    Thank you 🙏🏾 you are a great teacher. I obtained my cdl a in December 2023. I haven’t shifted since then. I’ve had two jobs and both were driving automatic trucks. 5/23/24 this past week I’ve had two opportunities one being today. I can shift up but every single time I lose the gear, the grind I guess makes me nervous and I absolutely don’t know how to get in gear except but to stop and start over. This is very discouraging. I will get another chance this Saturday morning. Your videos are great and I will continue to watch this for most of the day and try to put this all together on Saturday.
