Hello,
Getting geared up for school in September I have just a few old trucking questions.
1. How Precise do I have to be when shifting in school?
I have driven a few trucks and took one down the road. I always start in Low second and then forth then High seven and so on. OK in other words I don't follow a shift pattern.
2. How should I stop a truck on a flat road?
Asking this question I will tell you I know nothing about Jake brakes. Well I know how they work (in writing) just not how they are used. Also note that I've only driven down the road bobtail and no trailer. I have though backed up a trailer with a big ass 89' International w/ sleeper and did not a bad job LOL.
Thanks James
