Thank you for posting this video. My niece drives a semi I told her to be smooth enough to not spill the coffee while operating any equipment . She's a great kid proof is old school trained her I told her always something new to learn everyday .
Another great video. I have much respect for professional drivers. Tezz you take it to a higher level. The physical effort with gear changing, monitoring mirrors and bouncing around must take its toll in ability to maintain concentration on a long trip. Being fit for the job must be a challenge in continuing to be safe and getting the job done. Top class Tezz.
Brings back memories . Another day at the " Office " . There's a Rhythm to it , Eh . I notice the Electrical Covers are off , and a Patch Wire . Gremlins ?
The dash is a fair swag of dials and guages. You would have to be awake keeping an eye on all that. Not like the old days, just oil and temp. Thanks for the ride Terry. Good job. 😊
The lazy left leg … only use that one to take off . When doing one in particular driving assessment I had to use the clutch every change, he told me when that part of the assessment was over, so back to lazy leg
Good angle Tez , try above gear knob with splitter and range buttons high lighted for those who cant figure out how you get 13 and 18 gears from a H gear pattern with just 5 gears an rev , an a under dash shot off accelrator pedal when clutch less changing to show people how to do it an how much smoother an quicker it can be done with out use of clutch ,,, clutch was for stopping or starting, enjoy your video Terry as i always do ,, hope i have given you a tricky cam angle but a goodie ,,, cheers mate stay safe ,, Phil
@@tezthetruckie hi Terry about yesterday comment ,, you knew i wasnt trying to teach you how to drive right? Appology for ripping other guy but comment was just to see an unseen cam angle
Hi Holden. It cool. I know what you are saying mate. I spent most of the day try work out how I going to do that with out using half a roll of duck tape lol
Hello Terry that brought back a few memories. didn't have 18spd when i was driving 13spd or 15 spd rr good to see no clutch. sees funny hearing you talk about Gundy now i live in WA. Great videos keep it up.
congratulations video Terry and edited Terry on the 5000 subscriptions that's weird thing you doing with your hands my dad kind did the same it was kind of a game when on long drives
great video as always Tez, great to see the channel growing. The only thing is that you may need to invest in a wireless mic as your voice got drowned out a bit.
Mate glad to see you're ol'skool clutchless change, my army instructor at El Alamein SA used to crack my leg with a cane every time I went for the clutch if I weren't stationary. I've had many arguments with people, mechanics and bosses cause I don't use it and yet done millions of k's and never done a clutch or rebuild. Also glad to see you ain't wearing those crappy chinese safety boots either lol
@@tezthetruckie yeap particular type of shoe or boot is best , i know ya shouldnt do it but in summer i like bare feet with vent in door blowing on my feet ,, only problem is nipples on pedals on kenworth pedals hurt heels after few hours sitting on pedals
I've been following you for ages , I'm sorry to say that I have gotten Fat because I retired but I can't help noticing You have gotten a bit well you know not skinny , are you driving a 18 speed ? that is what it looks like to me , I my be retired but I still love trucks , i was born on a mountain and raised in a cave screwin and truckin is all I crave . good on ya Trerry
@@tezthetruckie I think that the first time I saw you was when you went to the US ? or when you drove Road-trains ? see what happens when you get old 😩
Onya Tez. Here's an idea, can you show us the art of changing gears with commentary? I know trucks have high and low and split (I think??). I am a 30 year veteran of driving conventional cars and now 4wds with a manual gearbox. Like my current daily. But big rigs like yours, it fascinates me, and I have NFI. Just an idea ☺
That go pro seems to be paying dividends. That's a good angle from the passenger seat. Wonder how you're coping with the fuel prices the way they are at the moment? Love to see more of that. Perhaps another truckies f@#&ed up compilation and what to do around truck's. Very interesting. Nice to see you have sponsors on board to help. Keep up the good work. 🙂
That Horton comes on a lot, have you got the aircon on? Out of interest, do you switch on the Horton just before a long climb to pull the heat out of the radiator and intercooler . I find they pull harder when you leave the fan engaged climbing hills as more airflow through the intercooler , since at a low speed you have a lot less airflow.
@@BlairSauer it’s spring engaged fan hub. It requires air to keep the spring compressed thus the fan disengaged. It has 2 settings, On or Auto. When they cut in ,you will hear the fans roar, when they are disengaged the fan will just freewheel. Very reliable and better idea than a viscous or electric
@@tba3900 Ah ok. That's interesting. I have seen a fan control switch in a truck before. Air operated. I suppose they are good. As long as the air lines going to it don't leak or break.
honestly think you should keep your eyes on the road instead of looking at the camera ... very big distraction . only takes a split second for something to happen and you filming yourself looking at the camera constantly is enough to get you in trouble if something happens as you are not paying full attention as to what you are doing ..... just saying
@@tezthetruckie truck mirror 45dgs from your seat ... camera 90dgs... big difference when you turn your head 90dgs and gesturing to the camera .. which you have filmed your self doing .. the temptation to look at the camera is great . A better place for the cam would be in left hand of windscreen so you it's in direct view of where your head needs to turn . Just sayin

As a little tacker I traveled every where in the truck with my Dad and I tell you what I really miss that cruising feeling TOP JOB TO YOU

Thanks 👍
Loved the update Tez (and the excellent gear changing!).
Thank you Mate

Cool share as always. Thanks mate. Ella have a great weekend. Keep it upright.
Thanks for the visit
@@tezthetruckie no worries. ;)
Brings back memories . Another day at the " Office " . There's a Rhythm to it , Eh . I notice the Electrical Covers are off , and a Patch Wire . Gremlins ?
Yes lots of gremlins
Warm hello from France
G'day from OZ
Farmer's Union iced coffee is the best! Nice video 🙂

Need a candle in the cab!!🪔
Great video Terry, stay safe out there
Thanks, you too!

Clutch is only for Lift-Off . And the occasional Dip if you don't QUITE get it right . But by and large not necessary with a Constant Mesh box .
Great to see you in your office, as I've never driven a Semi it was great to see what goes on. Cheers stay safe.
Thank you
good to see you working in the office keep safe keep that log book up to date...
For sure
Love them gears. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Thank you very much!

Thank you. I testing my gopro. I will to get a wirless mic one day.
@@tezthetruckie looking for more sponsors lol to afford it? lol I was thinking the same.
@@tezthetruckie Another great camera angle. Hold off on the wireless mic, just get an automatic EV truck! 🤭

Only way to drive with my best driving boots on
The ol crack on the leg lol ,,, it makes you better right?

Nice shifting mate 👍🏼
Hi Tez, Must be getting a bit chilly out there now.... My brother lives in Chinchilla and reckons it's as cold as a good womans heart
lol........ Yes it is bit frosty in the morning.
Some silky shifting there. It is like watching a concert pianist play a really complex piece and make it look easy.
Some days it is. But other days I just want to walk a way
Ah he's got the farmers :)

I have put a Lot on in the last 10 years.she is a 18 speed mate

Had to abandon listening to this one, the voice was drowning in the background noises. Looking forward to the next episode.
Sorry about that. that was a test of the gopro.

Aircon is on. most of the day. Horton is on all the time when I am loaded as a road train.
@@tezthetruckie out of curiosity, what is a Horton?
It is a tip of engine fan which are in trucks.
@@BlairSauer it’s spring engaged fan hub. It requires air to keep the spring compressed thus the fan disengaged. It has 2 settings, On or Auto.

I have a mirror on that side of the truck
@@tezthetruckie mirror isn't on the passenger seat mate 🤦♂️
The camera not the seat. Try again 😹
