38 years I've driven a lot of trucks.
I used to drive for a company called Advance.
They had a few spare trucks in their parking lot but the one that got driven the least was the one with the duplex.
I remember some of the other drivers used to ride me for wanting to drive that truck. I was a young guy and wet behind the ears. You know it is the more gears the better. The only thing I remember about that duplex if you had to be careful that you got that thing all the way in gear because if you didn't and it slipped back out I'll tell you what it would really teach you a lesson. It wasn't too bad of it smacked you on the meaty part of your palm but if it hit you in the wrong place it would hurt like a you know what.
There was a lot of controversy over whether or not you were supposed to stick your arm through the steering wheel when you had to grab bull shifters. Wasn't too bad unless you hit a pothole. It would break your arm.
I think I've done all the shifting that I need to do. I drive an auto transport and I love my automatic transmission.Last edited: Jun 12, 2018

I'm thinking a crane or something back when screamin' Jimmys were popular. I've heard they'd outrun anything on flat ground, but didn't fare well on hills. Was thinking this might have been used with those to compensate?Tall Mike and Oldironfan Thank this. -
That's definitely fake.

Drove my brother's Deuce and a half the other day and thought this shift pattern was interesting.
