<p>[QUOTE="Joe3301955, post: 2222447, member: 74275"]<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">I am enrolled in a truck driving school. I have been to the state testing site twice. The school will only let us test in the Freightliner with the automatic transmission. Both times during the parking maneuvers, when I change gears from D to R or R to D the truck will not move. The engine acts like the transmission is in neutral. The air pressure in the brake system always reads above 100 pounds, and I am always fully stopped when shifting gears. I tried pushing the clutch to the floor when shifting out of gear and again when shifting in to gear. When this happens during testing, in the middle of a parking maneuver, I need suggestions of how to get the truck to move! The instructors have been of no help on this problem.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
