DRIVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS
• Traffic check - Check traffic to left and right before entering the intersection and to the rear by checking mirrors. If pedestrians or other traffic is stopped or near the intersection, remove your foot from the accelerator and cover the foot brake. Anticipate the light changing to yellow. • Accelerate, Gear - Accelerate and shift smoothly. :wink: That is from the Wisconsin CDL Manual. Who knew?

When you guys refer to downhill procedure, do you mean:Snub braking is now the recommended method of downhill braking. This method works by: first, choosing the correct gear for the hill; second, allowing the truck to speed up to the maximum safe speed as it descends the hill; third, applying the brakes hard to slow the truck down 5 mph; and then repeating this process to the bottom of the hill.
