We start out in 4th. Give a little gas.... mainly cuz I don't want to roll backwards.... then shift to 5th and then we start the 15-17 RPM shifting.
Just the same number. Basically when the engine get up to 1700... clutch, pull out of gear, cluth, next gear. One teacher said at 1500 but I...
Well I did it!!! I didn't stall. Hit one curb... I also learned for me, I need to Rev up to 1700 RPM's to do a smooth gear shift. As far as the...
I felt this way the first time we went on the side roads. I was like, seriously? I barely know how to shift and you want me to drive on the road? Lol
I guess I should consider myself lucky then, cuz my husband and I have had 2 nights on the side roads. They have our class split into 2 teams. So...
My question was not about the rules. My question was wondering if anyone would share their stories about the first time they went on the freeway...
I can't believe that guy didn't go for the middle slot... especially after what just happened. I would have asked him... now why didn't you take...
How long was your school... here in Texas we have to have our CLP for 15 days before we can apply for our Driving test. Did you have this issue?...
I don't know why it is... but I do a lot better after our lunch break. I think it's cause of less 4 wheelers on the Rd. I swear it's like these...
Yea, Sorry 800. 8 is to downshift 2 gears and 10 is if we want to downshift 1 gear. It may be excessive, cuz it sure feels like I'm slamming on...
We are being taught to watch the tach (RPM's) and not really focused on the speed, except for staying at the speed limit. You slow the truck down...
I want to say. I agree with what y'all are saying about coasting, in the real world, but I also know it does state it in the handbook. I already...
13.1.1 also mentions coasting. Teacher said 1) costing longer than the length of the vehicle, means you don't have control over the vech. 2) if...
Texas CDL hand book 13.1.2 Read about intersection. It states no coasting. I tried to post a picture but I have not figured out how to do that yet.
2 years? I got that part down. ( being slow) Lol I understood what you meant. Thanks
thanks for all the info. I have a better idea on the down shifting thanks to the 5's. will keep this in mind for after school, cuz our teacher...
the teacher did mention something about this, but as far as knowing what gear we should be in on the up shift and to keep us from speeding.
on the side road (top speed was 45). when I was able to get to 9th gear. I found it easier to drop to 8th gear and then to 6th. The lights were...
what did you do to skip 4 gears? 10-6?
We are taught to downshift 2 gears at a time or one....to downshift 2 gears we have to be at 8 on the tack before taking it out of gear. if we are...
