Any tips for learning to shift without clutch

now what do I do?

 

Put out your triangles properly (It's amazing how few drivers do it right), call your company and arrange for a tow.

 

Now whats me company gonna do to me?

 

It depends. You might get promoted to trainer.

 

I've driven the Paccar MX-13 with both a Eaton 13 and an Eaton automated 12. I can shift it smoother than the auto box and keep it in the prime torque band all the time. The auto box thinks 2200 rpm is a good rpm to rev to for shifting purposes.

I don't care what an engineer says, my butter-smooth shifts are doing less damage than that auto box.

 

Ha, Ha,Ha, you really think I could be a trainer. At a truck stop during the week and see this truck, is has a decal on the side, Driver Mentor. Ha, Ha, Ha, That aint gonna happen. Ha, Ha, Ha.Trainer, Ha, Ha, HAAAAA

It's the half full ones that negate any need for a cup of coffee to keep you alert...

 

No, they never do.. I'm sure grandpa or some other super trucker legend will come forward any time now.

 

I believe that was "Driver Mental". You may consider yourself warned.
