I am new to the entire genre/industry/EVERYTHING in fact.
Could someone please help me.?

Some pics I have seen the operator area has (4) pedals plus one on the drive shaft ??

I know this is as basic a question as could ever be asked
:roll: \

Left to right what the pedals used for

I assume, right accelerator, next brake, on the d shaft ? , clutch, then the far left?

From right to left it's accelerator, brake then clutch. That 4th pedal you saw in the picture was probably a foot rest on the far left. Some trucks have them and the do resemble a pedal but it's just a place to rest your left foot.

When you say "drive shaft" do you mean the steering shaft that is by the pedals?

I saw one truck with a pedal to adjust the tilting steering wheel. Maybe that's what the other one was for?

Well that would make sense, I don't get to drive anything that fancy

Volvo's are the one's the usually use a pedal for the steering wheel adjustment.

Freightliner also uses the foot button for the steering wheel in the Century Class. Prob do to in the Columbias but since I have never drove one couldn't tell you for sure.

Those adjustment "pedals" look more like the "old fashioned" high beam switch.

In a truck without air brakes there would be a true 4th pedal for the parking/emergency brake.

[Malaki86]

The non-airbrake trucks I've driven all had a "pull" lever that is either connected to the axle brakes or a driveshaft brake. It's normally mounted on either side of the seat.

Freightliner's MB-II straight trucks equipped with hydraulic brakes have the old school foot pedal to set the parking brakes.

You forgot the "pump jack" pedal to raise and lower the seat....
