Splitter Question

Hello, new here.

I only have experience with Eaton Fuller 10 speed transmissions with no splitter. I will be driving a truck next week, no trailer just bobtailing. I won't know what kind of transmission until I'm in the seat, nor will I know what kind of truck it will be until the day I show up.

My question is since i won't be towing any weight will i still need to use a splitter if it has one? Can i just leave the gears in low and run through them like normal using only the range selector?

I should add that it probably won't be any highway speeds and i would guess 40 mph and under. Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I figured as much but wanted to double check before jumping in the truck.

 

Good point and thanks. I do know the mechanics that needs to be done, just have never done it. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have too much time to practice. I am a stunt performer and this is for a TV show. I was a driver before getting into stunts. I kind of need to show up and be able to do it. I know i can drive the truck, just wanted to cover all my bases in case it was a tranny i haven't driven. I'll get a chance to get a feel for the truck but not much time. This is also filming in nyc so there may not be any room for a lot of practice. I have to play it by ear and see when i get there.

Found out today that they are also blowing the truck up so who knows how what I'll be getting into. I can be sure they aren't blowing up a 2015 Peterbilt. Haha
