I love how the majority of these comments just slate the driver. Yes he doesn’t run the gearbox well but everyone starts somewhere. He’ll get better with time and he didn’t take any risks and stopped when he lost traction as to not cause mechanical damage. No harm no foul. Also is everyone forgetting this is a livestock trailer. If you don’t understand how this changes the way a truck drives maybe you’re the idiot.
does not matter how experienced you are if you miss a gear , you are going to be in trouble , tanker trailers require care too , when going up hills and down for that matter as well
@@blakeyboy689 Thats exactly the case here. I hated them for that reason when I was driving in the icy UK winters, and more so when I wanted to collapse a 40 ft slider back to 20 ft to unload a container in a dock.
To be fair to the driver he had to stop to let the other float come down the hill, I myself was a driver and I’ve had the same problem. I was a tanker driver and if you get stopped on a hill it is so hard to get up because of weight transfer, liquid all gathering at the back of the tank, but yes you are right in what your saying, the second driver made it look like a walk in the park. Great video. Kind regards Johnny
I'm a tanker driver too , and if I can I'll give way to the truck coming up a steep country road like the one in the video because if he has to stop on a hill with a loaded truck it's harder for them to get going again
Uphill goes before downhill, yet some drivers don't seem to realize that or let that actually be a thing. With as result what you see in this video, haha
The driver that had to wait for the other truck and struggled to gain traction handled the situation very well.also I have a nickname for V8 Scania s now and that is growlers as they sound just like( class 37s) diesel locomotives of the highways
@@Daniel-rb1ig Yeah I know, felt bad far him. But my comment was directed at the guy suggesting that all those lights on the truck would be draining power from the truck. Anyway way how are you, I thought the yanks had got you? ha ha
@@ebddenby8439 Tags are alright if you can dump the air and/or have manual override of the lift, which most truck makers won't allow you to do when loaded unless you pay to have it reprogrammed in the ECU. I'm on bulk milk tanker work and I'd rather have a mid lift when losing traction on muddy hills. The milk's all at the back of tank and so I want my drive axle as close to the weight as I can get it, which you don't get with a tag config. The Gilder's truck would have been fine if he'd dumped the air.
Everybody makes mistakes and there’s plenty to be made driving lorries. Lifting the mid steer would solve this problem but he will know that now I’m sure ! Keep on keeping on.
Been there and done that, cocking the gears up making myself look a complete numpty. Only saving grace was mines a double drive. Learn from experience.
Lift the axle or dump the air out of it if the load is to heavy and lock the diff....failing that ask all the sheep to move forward over the drive axle..
K Graham some tractor units I’ve driven like the Volvos you could dump the air out of the lift axle suspension so more weight would be on the drive axle which would give you more grip...
I can't believe that twice he got that truck to lift off and then went for a higher gear. In situations like that, get it moving and keep your foot flat to the floor and watch the tacho. Going for a higher gear was just dumb and it showed every time.
It's not about the gear selection, it's about momentum. Had he had it in second gear all the way through the hill with enough speed, he'd easily make it the first time. First gear is too slow and makes him stall.
you've not driven in a real tough spot it sounds like. A snap change uphill is a hard learned skill but whether livestock or bulk the trick is to be smooth and that way maintain momentum. this guy seems to be getting to know his rig, but at least he doesn't treat either truck or load badly.
I will only add knowing livestock haulage I suspect that rig may have been some 50 Tonnes gross ... And they guy had to stop to allow another one down. He did OK
OH BOY... 1: Take air pressure of the helping steering axle to put full load on the driving axle. 2: Diff. lock ON. 3: First gear (crawl gear) oput on some RPM. 4: Drive in a straight line forward up hill. 5: Keep the speeder pedal absolutely steady.
He made it in the end at least. I bet the residents were getting fed up with the noise. As with anything in life practice makes perfect and I hate it when other people comment on others saying they are crap and forgot they were once a novice.
I just got my first hgv horse truck, steep hill, very steep on my first trip out in Sunday 😳 I might just take a much longer route to avoid said hill, till I get a bit of practice in 😬
There's many a driver got stuck on that hill it's a short nasty little bastard used to go up it regularly if you knew it you knew how to hit it and it's steeper than it looks but as other people say the joy of a mid lift 4x2s never had a problem
Wheel spinning, better off putting diff locks on in super big grades & in the wet or damp it’s a must, then turn off diffs. Be prepared to drop two or three gears. Better to drop to a very low gear & wait until right at the correct speed to let out clutch if dropping 4 gears or more. If pulling way use crawler gear when fully loaded like he clearly is.
gear boxes in these v8s take some getting used to especially if you have just come from a standard 4 0ver 4 or a 3 over 3 as the gears are back to front on these v8s as i found out at 3 o clock one morning, i spent a good 10 mins trying to work it out lol
Still piss myself laughing at this !!! I remember when first saw this I thought it was a dog barking then noticed it was the wheels skidding !!!! Arrrrr god still makes me laugh 😂😂😂😂
sometimes if there is a lot of weight on it, you can not lift it, or it might not actually be a lift axle and instead just be a plain 6x2 twin steer, or even just a 6x2
Well he got up there in the end .with just adamaged pride ..here's a tip from a long standing scania driver ..when you get into sticky situation like that stop &drop the air on all axles. Then press the lift axle switch &weight about 15 secs then press your ride height switch back to normal travel. Your lift axle is now in the air ..mid lift or tag ......max traction is now available
Because on road trucks do not need 4 wheel drive. And in this situation it would have made matters worse. Quite why Yank truck need 4 driving wheels beats me but then Yank Semi / trailer axle layouts defy logic anyway. And again in this case he could have dumped the air out of the mid steer axle and applied more weight to the drive axle but the real cause of his problems was he had to stop half way up the hill to let another truck down. The guy did OK ...
The United States has different length and weight requirements than Europe. Plus we have straighter roads and our turns aren't quite as tight therefore we can get away Longer wheelbase trucks Plus we have extra axles because we do go off road quite a bit and we need 4 wheel drive. 12500 front axle, 34000 drive axles, 34000 rear trailer axels. In pounds not kg. Typical American long haul driver stays in the truck average 2 weeks at a time. Longer wheel base = bigger sleeper. Maybe this helps. No right or wrong just explaining our side of it.
@@easytrucking1660 Always interesting to see how and why other folks do the same job. When I worked in the USA I was always nattering with truckers and I never understood why the 2 double tyred trailer axles are right at the back of the rig. Here in the UK we run 3 large single tyred axles well inboard of the rear of the trailer to avoid 'cut over'. Some comparisons: Weights: Steer and 2nd (lift) axle - 7,500 Kgs = 16,534 Ibs Drive axle - 10,500 Kgs = 23,150 Ibs Tractor gross weight 26,000 Kgs = 57,320 Ibs (on 3 axles) Trailer axles 8,000 Kgs = 17,637 Ibs Trailer gross weight 24,000 Kgs = 52,910 Ibs (on 3 axles) Combination gross weight 44,000 Kgs = 97,000 Ibs (on 6 axles) Lengths: Overall semi / trailer - 16.5 M = 54.14 Ft Overall Drawbar / Trailer - 18.75 M = 61.52 Ft Semi - trailers are 13.6 M ( 44.6 Ft) although recent changes now allow 15.65 M (51.4 Ft) giving an overall length of 18.75 M same as a drawbar. This as you say explains why in Europe 99% of trucks are cabovers and the trailer is a close fit behind the cab but this does also improve fuel consumption. of course the other big difference is speed where we are regulated by the truck software to 90 Kph (56 Mph) which would probably drive an American trucker nuts. By the way in europe as a whole we have as many long straight roads as in the USA and some challenging mountain routes as well. when I was trucking from UK to Spain and Italy (before some of the new motorways) Mt Blanc or the Gotthard or Somosierras was always an 'interesting' run ...
@@1chish Thank you for the information. I have always been curious about the differences between American trucks and European trucks. And you're correct, only being able to go 56 mph would drive me nuts! lol.
Fucks sake.... lorries were going up that hill yonks ago ... no 6... 700bhp in them days .... too many show boaters today ... road looked bone dry too ....
lift the middle axle (sometimes it won't let you do if you have too much weight) or press the other button to move the load on the rear axle and then put the gearbox in manual. it worked with me in a similar situation
Dad blew a half shaft on that hill in a lb 80 don't criticize anyone untill you drive that hill yourself there are 3 this is the 1st one even a loaded van struggles here go and drive that hill first before criticizeing.
Probably to heavy to lift the axle, it won’t let you exceed the max axle weight only thing you can do in the Scania is weight transfer to rear axle. Also he could have locked the diff aswell. Looks a lot like wrong gear and not prepared.
Every firm has a “driver” like that, and probably the reason for the development and fitting of auto gear boxes. Now could someone explain to the kid what the benefits are of raising your middle axle when you need some extra traction, and what the diff lock switch is for?
"Do take a course in climbing"...........you need a course in common sense mate!!!...Look at the speed everyone else goes when approaching the hill....look at how steep the hill is!!!...and look at the fact that the real issue is traction (because its so steep)........oh....and how could i forget....the oncoming truck coming down the hill that he stopped for....but don't worry......I took a course in "HGV livestock steep hill fully loaded can't b******t a b*******er" course!!!. Hats off to the driver....he did well..end of!!!
Does anybody get any sleep in that village . Doing stuff like that with the diff lock on can make expensive parts go bang . Had a tag axle 4 series years ago an it would climb big ben . To be fair though the slide bars once got stuck under the trailer on a hump back bridge . Was ok though friendly farmer towed me out his field .
I can't believe what im reading on here about this most of the comments are slating the driver.He gave way to a truck coming down hill its clearly not a v8 (you can tell by the sound of the engine the second truck however was).he lost traction which is understandable being a mid lift and with the weight hes pulling.He backed up and got up in the end so good on him.Whether hes experienced or not is irrelevant he never damaged anything.Amd the comments where its says pay peanuts you get monkeys do you even drive these kind of roads i bet not.I bet your one of these internet trolls that gets off writing shit because you that fucking lazy to get of your arse and get a job.I do however drive these kind of roads (all over wales and the peak district) and i drive a V8 rear tag and have done for 28 years and i can tell ya i have fucked up had ghost gears and had to back up to have a run up so what who fucking cares he made it thats what its about.
Piss off idiot - he couldn't even get it started at the bottom of the hill without stalling it. If that's your idea of "skilled driving", then I'm bloody glad we don't have you idiots over here driving real trucks.
@@AusMiner first off who mentioned skilled driving you fxcking idiot and secondly its my opinion which is allowed.Where you from anyway ya couch where you sit all day pretending to know what your on about...twat
@@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691 bm Aus is spot on. This bloke wouldn't last a day in oz. I could smell the clutch burn from this lattitude of the world. Piss ass truck carrying Piss all weight compared to oz rigs. We're not highly sort after drivers worldwide for no reason. Long distances, heavy weights, four trailer long road trains, road conditions that don't even qualify as a road to name a few. Professional drivers are highly skilled and that's what we are here. Go back and resit your license you idiot !!.
Fishinstraya 2.0 I hope not all scania trucks are like that. I've known basic package Peterbilts and Freightliners to be able to pull Hills better than that with an ISX Cummins and any gear combination Eaton transmission paired up with them. but if scania's AR anything like Volvo's, with a Volvo transmission I can see why I had trouble pulling a hill. never had that problem with an Eaton transmission.
It happens even drivers with 40 years or more experence driving truck sometimes you just dont listen enigines what is doing and you are too late on gear and it stuck
Let me guess, Scanias early opticruse transmission? And second, those trailerpullers whit a pusher-axle are some of the worst trucks when it comes to traction. Dry pavement and he still can't get enough grip, those trucks are disaster when they come to north Sweden in winterconditions, gets stuck everywhere whit their low weight transports while our loggingtrucks grossing 64 and 68 tons (for the 5 axle trailers) whit no problems.
As a fellow long haul truck driver I've traveled a around are great USA and the only truck I've ever bought and driven are Mack's nothing else compares and I've been trucking for 31yrs now

Probbably took a few miles off the clutch though
Exactly everyone makes mistakes even the old boys.

We all got to learn. He will know how to approach hill next time.

Can hear the sheep loving the rollercoaster ride!
Was. Wry hard getting 500 sheep of at night to go on to a field that might
I agree Matty a lot of drivers forget we all started at the bottom and some of them that gob off are still no good at it 🤨🤨
Didn't realise there was so many perfect drivers out there show me a perfect driver and I'll show a lier.
Me personally would have lifted the MIDLIFT to aid grip on the drive axle as its spinning
But I'm no expert
some won't lift if there's too much weight on.

Johnny Rogerson 2nd driver only makes it look easy cos he has a clear road and can get the run up the hill

The struggling one sounds like a 6 cylinder, the last sounds like a Scania V8 :-)
but they are both v8s
Depending on horsepower what they have.as they go from 480 to 730

lift that goddamn, mid axle XD
sometimes if there is a lot of weight on it, you can not lift it, or it might not actually be a lift axle and instead just be a plain 6x2 twin steer, or even just a 6x2
This is not a struggle. The driver is obviously changing gears when he shouldn't.

driver sees camera and thinks "watch this"
😂
Every firm has a “driver” like that, and probably the reason for the development and fitting of auto gear boxes. Now could someone explain to the kid what the benefits are of raising your middle axle when you need some extra traction, and what the diff lock switch is for?
The benefit is you lift axle to put weight on drive axle
But I grew up on old trucks lol
"Do take a course in climbing"...........you need a course in common sense mate!!!...Look at the speed everyone else goes when approaching the hill....look at how steep the hill is!!!...and look at the fact that the real issue is traction (because its so steep)........oh....and how could i forget....the oncoming truck coming down the hill that he stopped for....but don't worry......I took a course in "HGV livestock steep hill fully loaded can't b******t a b*******er" course!!!. Hats off to the driver....he did well..end of!!!
By Jesus Them Scania’s Can Pull
Does anybody get any sleep in that village . Doing stuff like that with the diff lock on can make expensive parts go bang . Had a tag axle 4 series years ago an it would climb big ben . To be fair though the slide bars once got stuck under the trailer on a hump back bridge . Was ok though friendly farmer towed me out his field .
I can't believe what im reading on here about this most of the comments are slating the driver.He gave way to a truck coming down hill its clearly not a v8 (you can tell by the sound of the engine the second truck however was).he lost traction which is understandable being a mid lift and with the weight hes pulling.He backed up and got up in the end so good on him.Whether hes experienced or not is irrelevant he never damaged anything.Amd the comments where its says pay peanuts you get monkeys do you even drive these kind of roads i bet not.I bet your one of these internet trolls that gets off writing shit because you that fucking lazy to get of your arse and get a job.I do however drive these kind of roads (all over wales and the peak district) and i drive a V8 rear tag and have done for 28 years and i can tell ya i have fucked up had ghost gears and had to back up to have a run up so what who fucking cares he made it thats what its about.
Piss off idiot - he couldn't even get it started at the bottom of the hill without stalling it. If that's your idea of "skilled driving", then I'm bloody glad we don't have you idiots over here driving real trucks.
It's a v8
@@AusMiner first off who mentioned skilled driving you fxcking idiot and secondly its my opinion which is allowed.Where you from anyway ya couch where you sit all day pretending to know what your on about...twat
@@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691 bm Aus is spot on. This bloke wouldn't last a day in oz. I could smell the clutch burn from this lattitude of the world. Piss ass truck carrying Piss all weight compared to oz rigs. We're not highly sort after drivers worldwide for no reason. Long distances, heavy weights, four trailer long road trains, road conditions that don't even qualify as a road to name a few. Professional drivers are highly skilled and that's what we are here. Go back and resit your license you idiot !!.
I'm a hgv driver the v on the front of the means v8 what the fuck would u no are expecting to sound like a petrol v8 lol you fool
Now that's how you handle a truck
Like people have said. You have to start somewhere.?
Is a scania there’s a gear called crawl
Fishinstraya 2.0 I hope not all scania trucks are like that. I've known basic package Peterbilts and Freightliners to be able to pull Hills better than that with an ISX Cummins and any gear combination Eaton transmission paired up with them. but if scania's AR anything like Volvo's, with a Volvo transmission I can see why I had trouble pulling a hill. never had that problem with an Eaton transmission.
It happens even drivers with 40 years or more experence driving truck sometimes you just dont listen enigines what is doing and you are too late on gear and it stuck
Hold your current gear on that hill. I see plenty of keyboarders here could do this climb first time
I think this is 8 gear not 12
Let me guess, Scanias early opticruse transmission? And second, those trailerpullers whit a pusher-axle are some of the worst trucks when it comes to traction. Dry pavement and he still can't get enough grip, those trucks are disaster when they come to north Sweden in winterconditions, gets stuck everywhere whit their low weight transports while our loggingtrucks grossing 64 and 68 tons (for the 5 axle trailers) whit no problems.
Savage weight in these trailers while just empty.
May be lorry trailer has some mechanical issues otherwise these trucks should had no issues climbing with just 20 - 25 ton
Go for the crawler gear ⚙, and see that scania climb sloe but easy
I have no problem with a death wagon experiencing set backs..
The sheep don't think much to his driving lol
Fair play to him for trying.i would have been flapping about and thinking the lambs were going to end up old ewes by the time i got up the hill
As a fellow long haul truck driver I've traveled a around are great USA and the only truck I've ever bought and driven are Mack's nothing else compares and I've been trucking for 31yrs now
trucks performing like the hopeless 450 engine.
