You wouldn't be talking about the I81 bypass and the portables...would you?
Good Luck soon to be "driver". This is just the first step of learning this part of the business. Happy and prosperous new year to you.
In my part of the country, the part is about 25 per cent of the hourly labor rate.
This is from eaton/fuller... For easier and faster gear engagement, some Eaton® Fuller® transmissions may be equipped with a Clutch Brake. This...
To the OP...practice and listening to engine RPM will get you where you want to be. As someone mentioned before, I can gauge my fatigue by the way...
Keith,, you would (well maybe not) be amazed at how many people don't know what a clutch brake is.
Have to agree there. As a driver and mechanic for over 30 years, I would like to see that in black and white from the eaton/fuller owners...

Most 53' trailers are not suppose to go over the GWB Trucks with 53-foot trailers may only travel on the portions of I-95, I-695, I-295, and...
Sorry, but your wanting to drive has everything to do with the payscale if you're willing to do it for next to nothing in pay. If companys...

What DOT site did you look at? If "SAFER"...run away NOW before you have a record to match!
