Road test with different transmission than im used to

They compensate us pretty well....around 80k a year gross for 50 hours a week but if theirs a way to do better and not be hand karting stuff in the rain and snow and pulling crates of milk and tea all day with a hook then im interested....what is LTL? this job i have is my forst class A job...i still have a lot to learn.

 

Sad part is almost all the milk truck companies in my area are 18 speed petes....i live in lancaster county and milk is a huge thing here so theirs plenty of them in my are i have just never driven one. I really like my 10 speed, i wish they were 10 speed

 

Was so true for me yesterday what do you drive?

 

If youre used to a 10 speed i recommend concentrating hard on NOT putting it in high range and throwing it into where 6th gear would normally be. I didnt know i was going to take a road test. I thought i was just going to give him my info and discuss a schedule and if his insurance would accept me THEN i would come back for a road test. I was caught totally off guard. Props to you for being prepared and doing some research first!

 

It was nice once i realized what the thumb shifter actually did and felt the difference, i can see why especially milk haulers use them....would make for a way smoother ride than a 10 speed when half loaded.
