    Way to go warp! You will now be getting that middle finger from the public. They just have no idea your company truck is governed. I will never for get it took me about 3 miles to pass a truck on a college football day on the interstate and got flipped off about 10 times in a row. That cb lit up with laughter.

    I will do so!

    Got in some drive training today on a different truck that uses a 9 speed instead of the Super 10 I've been driving...different to say the least. Anyone have info on which types WS uses in their trucks?

    Other than that, nothing new to report.....tomorrow is my last day of schooling, then off to Missoula in 11 or 12 days....

    Yes, that's right...2 Super 10's and the 9 speed...unless you count reverse on the 9 speed...
    I hope they will give me a little leeway in learning the straight 10's....with a little practice I know I can do it!

    Well, today is my last day! Out on the road for more driving then out of there and start getting ready for my trip to Missoula!
     
    JustSonny Thanks this.

    well its pretty much the same as the 10spd, just without the splitting for each gear... keep the splitter down for gears 1-5, then you put the splitter UP for gears 6-10...

    good luck today warp!
