Another ACT L/O

Well I made it through day 2 of orientation. Day 1 looked at my truck, the one I had picked out will not be here this week so I ended up with a white 2011, but it's pre def and has a cummins in it. Today we met with Lance and went over operations, then elogs and hazmat this afternoon. Tomorrow is road test, a little nervous about that because I have never driven a 13 speed, so that may be interesting lol. So far everyone seems top notch. Oh this week there are 6 of us and 4 are company drivers.

 

drive it like a 9 spd, you'll be fine.

 

What he said.

 

Cool deal!

 

you really don't NEED to split this transmission unless you are really pushing for mileage, pulling hills or else REALLY heavy to gross weight.

 

Ok thanks...I will keep that in mind..It will be a little different

 

top end splits can be hard to hit if you aren't used to them. Just run it as a 9 for your road test and then practice with it.

It comes rather easy after a while. Haven't seen one in 18 years and would likely not hit the splits right out of the box either now.

Mostly been driving 9's and 10 speeds lately.

 

Yeah me to. hopefully all will be good.

 

Yeah I already gave him the heads up on it. They all seem like good people here for sure.
