I remember going on the road with my dad years and years ago and still remember how jolty and bumpy it was and more so how busy he always was behind the wheel! I akways wished I could learn how to do this and do it. Such a powerful feeling, I have nothing but respect and love for truckers on the road and prefer to drive amongst the rigs than the cars because they know how the roads work. Whenever I hear people talk about driving around trucks I jump in and correct them about what its like being behind that big wheel on the road vs being a little car. People are clueless! One of my best memories was the day my dad was doing a local run and stopped out front of our house in his truck and drove us to elementary school in the truck, man it was like arriving by limo. I cannot tell you how excited I am that I decided to goof off and stop studying to venture back into story land and see what kind of stuff was on UA-cam about CB radios... because clicking on your video led me to all this and it's all been so perfect how everything is falling into place working on my story. Unrelated to the story but in my world... the scenes I am developing involve my character going cross country by truck and I want to build a better idea of Cb talk and how to drive a truck to use in those scenes when he is riding with truckers. As it were, the beginning of my book begins in Lancaster because that is where the main character transplants from NYC to so your videos are like a triple whammy for me, I spent a lot of time out in Lancaster when my sister lived there, I spent a summer working on Oregon Pike. My first real job (maybe second) but first time commuting by myself. We used to stop at the truck stop on our late nights driving home to Lancaster from our trips to NYC and that is where she taught me all the diner stuff like they'll keep filling your coffee unless you flip your mug... man I miss those days. This is great, I am definitely going to need to include dialogue where one of the drivers explains how it all works. The character who ends up in Lancaster is not the one who treks across America, it's his English friend and I am writing these scenes in a series of postcards and letters writing back to NY throughout the 2 month trip, with some actual scenes. Interestingly, not that anyone here cares but I am so stoked because like i said all these stuff is just falling naturallly into place... years ago I had the idea to nickname this character red by the other and couldn't figure out why. Yesterday when i out walking and I got back into working on all this I started trying to imagine how the CB conversation might go of a driver trying to connect his English rider with another ride. It came to me without any forethought and I was impressed, he refers to him over the CB as a redcoat. "Got myself an English redcoat here visiting us all the way from England trekking cross country to do a little sightseeing and check out this fine land of ours looing for a ride back east, if any of ya'll heading back out by way of (didn't know what to put here) and can give him a ride..."
You are very professional Trucker, your Pete has a great transmission, 15 speed w pattern, old school transmission. Greetings from the south of Costa Rica my good friend, God bless you!
Thanks man first day on public road’s yesterday in my class 1 driving school and they are teaching this double clutch technique. I really want yo try this technique at school today. My instructor told me we are going down secondary highways and gravel roads and a few main highways. I really need to become proficient at shifting gears by any means necessary
@@TumaTime today my instructor was more than cool with this technique and I had a much easier time focusing on everything else. Ty so much. That double clutch business had me not literally smashing my head against the steering wheel lol. My instructor told me if I shift this good on day 1 of speed shifting as he refers to it that the examiner would be impressed. I’m so Thankful for such a well done introduction and walk through. I’m so thankful that there’s super cool guys like you making videos like this. I’m well on my way to bring a pro class 1 driver.
Swedish 12valve thanks for watching I’ve never driven a newer one I put a mattress topper on top of the mattress in the bunk it’s a little tight moving from front to back she runs great

That stick-shifter was made by Eaton-Fuller Transmissions, correct?
Is it a big difference in comfort in these early 379s against from 2000 and up?
