Failed road test... 18 speed wtf?

Here's a tip, always start using 1st gear regardless what they taught you in school. This way you don't get distracted. If they ask why, tell them that's why they call it 1st gear.
Since day one, I have always started in 1st gear, loaded, empty, bobtail. I go thru all the low gears. Maybe that's why I get 10 years+ of life on clutches.

 

That's why gunny only real men can drive an 18 speed and the rest are just amateurs.

 

I've driven plenty of 13 speeds but never an 18. Next time just ignore the red button and drive it like a 9 or 10 speed. More importantly, what company are you going to apply at now?

 

I agree with What FLORIDA PLAYBOY said.
You had a minor hiccup with your last test. It happens to everyone...well maybe not Pedigrees Bulldog; he is obviously the king ####### of the super truckers. He reminds of one those trainer/testers that do everything in their power to fail someone.
Don't listen to that doosh nozzle. He is just another internet bully, trying to make himself feel better for his shortcomings.
I recommend you learn 13/18 speed. It could open more doors for you in the future.

 

What I would give to have an 18

 

I have a different opinion.
I always start out in third gear when empty or bobtailing.
I only use the clutch when taking off from a stop an or coming to a complete stop.

 

Who takes off in first gear empty?
