Super ten shifting on grades, what am I doing wrong?

I'm not certain about the Super 10's as they are super rare around here but if it has no neutral interlock on the split, preselecting it excessively early will cause premature wear the shift yoke and sliding clutch.

 

Dont think anyone is suggesting preload right after shift...

 

My CDL instructor told me to never worry about the guy behind you...

 

1/2 of the splits are without going in neutral, so there isn't a neutral interlock.

 

Don’t worry about the guy behind you until you stall and the guy behinds you rear ends you. Yup.... your CDL instructor has it right.......”Not”.......

 

The guy that hits you from behind is at fault always. It's not your job to look behind you and watch someone you can't control. Well obviously you do have to watch your back but the guy behind you needs to watch his front. Stall a truck because you're green and can't shift or stopping for a baby in the road or slowing for construction doesn't matter, you rear end someone you are at fault

 

How is it your fault when someone hits you from behind?

 

I'd think that the people that know best are the same people that designed and manufactured the transmission that we're discussing. And their instructions are to always preselect.

 

Nope nope nope
