I'm a 49 year veteran long haul driver, and I say you pass. You get it! Most new drivers can't believe that a truck can shift this fast, and they try to shift slow. Slow shifting a truck will never work, but you get it, and shift it at it's correct fast speed. I float most gears going up and down on my Peterbilt 18 speed, but I can show you a better way to use the clutch if you want. I call it partial clutching. You take it out of gear with no clutch, and then clutch it into the next gear. Of course it is very fast, and much easier. Half the work of double clutching. Taking it out of gear with no clutch is a bit of a steep learning curve at first, but very easy once you get the hang of it. The secret is to preload the stick for a half second. No more! You do not want to wear out the shift forks. You should be able to pull it out with two fingers. At the correct moment as you let off the throttle the transmission will let go (losen) and it will fall out of gear, and quick, into the next one. So, to review. To do this you cannot be accelerating or decelerating, but rather right in-between. I have videos for this if you like. I'm a driver trainer, and I always enjoy it when new students finally get it. Good to see a young lady pull this off. You go girl!
Thank you very much Stern, for this very interesting and informative comment.😃💜😊 I appreciate it very deeply you have no idea ! I will have a look on your UA-cam channel for sure ! 😉
Absolutly beautiful black n chrome as was the way i always kept my 389 pete i drove for Smith Transport.Go Girl your top notch Professional GOD BLESS YOU.38 YR SEMI RETIRED Professional driver Crazy Cowboy.
I do it exactly opposite. I tap the clutch to relieve torque, take it out if gear, and drop it into the next gear as I come off the clutch to match engine RPM for the gear selected. Or, about half the time, if I use the clutch at all, I just double clutch like you are supposed to.
Everyone thinks they know the way... I'll stick with what I was told by an Eaton Mechanic! After starting out in whatever gear (1,2,or 3 depending on weight) you clutch in about an inch to pull out of gear, release clutch. Then repress clutch in about an inch and move it to next gear at around 1400 to 1500 rpm's (of course, on a Cummins). Only time I will float is on the highway, whether up-shifting or down-shifting.
Wowwww !!!!! Le rêve de nombreux chauffeurs français, conduire un w900 boîte manuelle de surcroît. Bonne route à toit,la prudence et les bons chiffres comme l'on disait à la CB il y a quelques années en arrière.
This young lady is doing a great job at running that stick shift big hood! Now days most can’t do it going into trucking. Most start out in automatic small hood trucks. Having driven nothing but long hood Pete’s, it is very hard to teach most, not all in running these truck nowdays! So great job young lady.
Wow très beau camion, c'est cool ta vidéo et vraiment bonne qualité d'image, continue d'en faire. Je conduis un T-680 13 vitesses, Kenworth forever 😊 Bonne route ! 😉👍
Merci vraiment beaucoup pour ton commentaire Sébastien. ☺️💜 Tu es très gentil. J'apprécie de plus en plus Kenworth, ce sont de bonnes machines😉 Il n'y a pas si longtemps je ne voulais que Freightliner.
@DaisyPurpleFlower J'ai été privilégié de l'avoir eu flambant neuf il y a 3 ans et comme je suis M. Net , bien il a l'air encore neuf 😁 J'apprécie vraiment tout l'espace à l'intérieur et la douceur de la tenue de route, un Cadillac... 😆 Mais là je suis à la recherche d'un autre emploi et c'est difficile de trouver un beau camion à conduire !! Moi aussi j'ai changé d'emploi il y a 4 ans pour devenir camionneur, mon rêve d'enfance. Je regrette pas, c'est un super métier malgré la solitude.... Tu fais du flatbed ? Longue distance ?
Je fais du drybox local mais j'aimerais beaucoup essayer le flatbed éventuellement. Aussi, le longue distance me manque beaucoup. Je suis vraiment dû pour du changement. 😉
Si c'est mon camion je ne le lui confie plus.Delicatesse d'elephant pour passer les vitesses et embrayer ensuite.Une conduite c'est du soin et pas une precipitation sans rythme.
@Karl021 merci Karl. 😊 Avoir su que ça susciterait autant de commentaires déplaisant je ne sais pas si j'aurais fait la vidéo quand même. Merci de m'encourager. C'est impossible de plaire à tous le monde sur UA-cam. Merci pour ton soutien. 🫶💜
Very nice to watch. I'm from Europe (Netherlands), our trucks are so different. Outside and inside! I would like very much to drive a KW or Peterbilt some day. I have my full license, but I'm a busdriver at the moment. Driving busses from 12m - 22m and doubledeckers and like it very much. Weirdest thing: In Europe most cars are handshifted and busses and trucks are automatics. And the way around in Canada/USA, I know. In the old days the trucks were handshifted, but the new ones are almost always automatic. Automatic cars are upcoming however, but when I watch videos about your trucks, also the new ones, they're all handshifted. What I like also is that many Canadeans talk English AND French! I speak French as well, but not very well anymore, unfortunately. Have a good new year and many safe miles/kilometres!
Merci beaucoup Jean-Pierre. 🙂 Joyeuses fêtes à vous aussi ☺️💜 Malheureusement je ne compte pas être propriétaire d'un camion pour le moment, mais merci pour votre opinion 😉
Hello 👋🏻 Nice ride. I've never driven an American truck but that Kenworth looks really cool ! You should buy it 👍🏻 😃 I'm planning to go to Canada🇨🇦 maybe in 4 or 5 years, then I'll have fun driving one of those awesome trucks ! Thanks for this video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Be careful on the road, greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thank you very much Thierry for your nice comment ! 😃 Unfortunately I won't buy that truck it's already sold! I wish you could drive a truck like that soon! 💜😉
😃😍🤩 Thank you so much ! You're very kind. My shifting has been criticized a lot in the comments section. I'm so glad that you like it. 💜 Thanks for your subscription and welcome to my channel. 😉
Nicely done ,I've been driving trucks for 45 yrs now and never used the clutch to shift ,only to start from a dead stop .It help to save the wear on the clutch and bearing . Give it a try ,Cheers from Toronto.
It may help the wear on your clutch disc's but will ruin the synchros!! Talk to any qualified mechanic. I KNOW... I ruined mine and re-trained myself to USE the clutch. Especially TODAY when the cost of parts are through the roof!!
@ I own and drive 1989 Mack Super liner 1998 Pete and few others on the road hauling mining equipment across Canada , I have no issues with my trucks and what makes you think I don’t have a qualified mechanic .Cheers
@@uneetudiant Not many TRUE Knowledgeable mechanics out there. My mechanic is Adept Ape on here. But then again, I'm in the US. If you have Allison, they are a different design. But Eaton can mess up, easily. I have an Eaton now that I had rebuilt a couple years ago and already needs another rebuild. But then again, I had a regular tranny mech rebuild it. He said the BEST way to make them last is to do proper double clutching. He said that the guys that were having so many issues stopped having those issues after they listened and started shifting the way he recommended.
@ my trucks have no electronics all are mechanical caterpillar engines @ 625 hp , my mechanics have extreme amount of old school knowledge un like the young fellows of this day , I treat them good and have great bond with them , this is a key to life, business , relationships. Have great day .Cheers
@ it’s all good. I believe you said it’s an 18 speed. I learned by watching some videos years ago. Float the gears. Let it fall in gear don’t force it. Take your time you’ll get it
Nice looking truck. Is the dealership a good one to partner up with? Try slowing your shifts down. I know its harder to shift in a bobtail but try to let the momentum help with the shift. Thank you for putting yourself out in these videos.
Criss de belle machine ,fais changement l’inter Lololl😂 un beau moteur cumming ! W900 une légende Si tu l’achète pas je vais le faire lololll 🤣🤣 une 18 ou 13 vitesse ? Sûrement 18 ?
You shift just fine and you got home didnt yah?... that all that matters at the end of the day. The grey splitter button is air shifter which means you dont have to clutch it for spitting just flip the switch to high and let off the throttle and once the gears in the transmission are no longer pulling it will pop right in :) Love that rig!!
Ops j'ai oublié que vous êtes française je suis un camioneur j aimer bien te connaître j'ai des questions a propos de vitesse manuelle si vous permettez merci d avance
Firstly, Merry Christmas Daisy !! I'm in the UK, and I can never understand this gear sliding thing, you've got a clutch, so use it !! You drove that Kenworth like a Boss ,so yeah, PLEASE buy it, beautiful girl, beautiful truck, you.re awesome XXX
A W900L is the ONLY classic truck left on the market today!! It is the BEST truck... PERIOD! *Edit:* After watching this for a bit, I can see she really doesn't know what she's doing. She just shifts, to shift. With a Cummins, you need to be shifting around 1400 - 1500 rpms. So, you glance at the tach and shift when appropriate. I can hear those little grinds, because she isn't shifting at the proper time, along with knowing your speed. It takes a while to get in the groove... Sometimes years.
Merci beaucoup pour ce beau commentaire 😍. Vous devriez faire un voyage en Amérique pour essayer un camion comme celui-ci et du coup, réaliser votre rêve ! 😉 Pourquoi pas!
Na ja, cooler Truck? Für das Wochenende so aus Spaß mag der LKW ja lustig sein aber wenn Du täglich 9 Std. damit unterwegs bist ist ein europäischer LKW wesentlich besser.Allein das Getriebe! Handschaltung! Das Führerhaus ist nur Hinten gefedert, der Wendekreis, Die Ergonomie des Führerhaus. Wenn es Dich interessiert es gibt einen Kanal mit Bruce Wilson, der fährt einen Scania V8 mit 770 Ps in den USA. Oder den E Trucker , der fährt einen Iveco E S Way als E LKW . War letzte Woche auf dem Leistungsprüfstand. 3450 Newtenmeter Drehmoment!!! Leistung nicht messbar ohne den Prüfstand zu gefährden!Schätzung ungefähr 1300 PS!!
It is fun shifting manual trucks, sad thing is they are about to disappear at least here in Sweden. Any new Scania and Volvo comes standard with auto gearboxes.
Shifting is fun, no gears is comfort. American trucks are cool, European trucks are efficient. American cars are automatic since long time, American trucks have gears. Where’s the logic?
The powers that be are getting rid of manuals everywhere across the Earth! Anytime there's something good, they'll take it away. They think that manual transmissions pollute the air. How hilarious is that?? They can make a point out of anything but the elitist pricks that run the s*** show that we live in are nothing but the elite morons!!
Beautiful truck with a fantastic engine and transmission. I think you have chosen a very good truck. The only thing that I suggest to you is that you should get used to Fasten your seat belt before you start driving. I wish you good luck and a Happy New Year.
Yes but also it's hard to move with the seat belt. There is pros and cons about wearing a seat belt in a big rig. So, I made my choice. 😉 I made a Short about it.
@@DaisyPurpleFlower im reading thru the comments here and i was wondering when the seat belt comment would be made...lol the govt brain washed all the sheep to wear their frigging seat belts..i never wear one...lol

Nice truck, even though I wish the Cats were still available. This is my 32nd year of driving and you can have all the crowded places up your way... lol I pulled windmill blades for a couple of years after many years of heavy-haul, but now run winch trucks in the North Dakota/Montana oilfield (making more money than windmill blades, which is backwards). 18-speeds aren't so useful for highway trucks but work well out here where we pull some steep terrain in the badlands. Tri-drives are common here, as well, with even more "lower gears"... Not to lecture but that seat belt might well save your life, for I've seen the aftermath of bodies under trucks or thrown through windshields (won't lecture more lol)... Be safe out there and enjoy it all while you can, for time passes fast! :)
Thank you very much Johnnie for sharing this with us. It's very interesting. 😃 For the seat belt, I always forget to use it when I make a video. Also I do local deliveries so I have to stop very often and I do very short drives so I lost the habit to use it. Shame on me. 🤦♀️ Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate it a lot. ☺️💜
@@DaisyPurpleFlower You're quite welcome... Sorry if I sound like I'm lecturing (just an old guy that doesn't want to see anyone hurt... Already know all the arguments back and forth lol). I'll check out some of your other vids, as well, of course. My only "sage" advice? Never stop learning new things (I continue to this day). :)
Thank you ! 😉 it's not my truck though. For the seat belt, I always forget to use it when I make a video. Also, I do local deliveries. So I have to stop very often and I do very short drives so I lost the habit... Shame on me! 🤦♀️😅 I made a SHORT about it also.
Nice I prefer 13 speed it's a highway tranmission but 18 ok also didn't no if u new but I c u didn't split across the bottom side this is what makes the 18 speed if u want to learn how i would love❤to show u till then it's a beautiful trk and lady of course
Yes, I used to study class A trucking. Lot of different engineering, parts, companies, etc… I was not ready to do so. I am from Maine, pretty close to your Canada, Quebec…

*Edit:* After watching this for a bit, I can see she really doesn't know what she's doing. She just shifts, to shift. With a Cummins, you need to be shifting around 1400 - 1500 rpms. So, you glance at the tach and shift when appropriate. I can hear those little grinds, because she isn't shifting at the proper time, along with knowing your speed. It takes a while to get in the groove... Sometimes years.
Again! It was MY FIRST TIME DRIVING THAT TRUCK !!!!!!!!!!
@@DaisyPurpleFlower Lol..
Yes and never ever open a hood from the side. Good way to ruin the hinges in the front
Do you have a better way to suggest?
Bonjour, Je viens de découvrir ta chaine et cette vidéo. Super camion. Le rêve pour un chauffeur français ! Merci pour cette vidéo.
Merci beaucoup pour ce beau commentaire 😍.
Vous devriez faire un voyage en Amérique pour essayer un camion comme celui-ci et du coup, réaliser votre rêve ! 😉
Pourquoi pas!
Effectivement ! Je suis allé à Québec lorsque j’étais plus jeune avec mon Papa. J’aimerais y retourner.
😉
Good girl, I'm glad she's not driving a sissymatic 😊
Thanks Thomas ☺️😉
Cooler Truck und eine coole Frau ❤❤❤
Thank you very much !😃😊💜
Na ja, cooler Truck? Für das Wochenende so aus Spaß mag der LKW ja lustig sein aber wenn Du täglich 9 Std. damit unterwegs bist ist ein europäischer LKW wesentlich besser.Allein das Getriebe! Handschaltung! Das Führerhaus ist nur Hinten gefedert, der Wendekreis, Die Ergonomie des Führerhaus. Wenn es Dich interessiert es gibt einen Kanal mit Bruce Wilson, der fährt einen Scania V8 mit 770 Ps in den USA. Oder den E Trucker , der fährt einen Iveco E S Way als E LKW . War letzte Woche auf dem Leistungsprüfstand. 3450 Newtenmeter Drehmoment!!! Leistung nicht messbar ohne den Prüfstand zu gefährden!Schätzung ungefähr 1300 PS!!
It is fun shifting manual trucks, sad thing is they are about to disappear at least here in Sweden. Any new Scania and Volvo comes standard with auto gearboxes.
I know, it's awful! Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it, I guess.
Thank you for your comment Mr. Jokkoma 🙂 It's always a pleasure ! ☺️
Scania and Volvo are nothing but garbage!!
Shifting is fun, no gears is comfort.
American trucks are cool, European trucks are efficient.
American cars are automatic since long time, American trucks have gears. Where’s the logic?
The powers that be are getting rid of manuals everywhere across the Earth! Anytime there's something good, they'll take it away. They think that manual transmissions pollute the air. How hilarious is that??
They can make a point out of anything but the elitist pricks that run the s*** show that we live in are nothing but the elite morons!!
Beautiful truck with a fantastic engine and transmission. I think you have chosen a very good truck. The only thing that I suggest to you is that you should get used to Fasten your seat belt before you start driving. I wish you good luck and a Happy New Year.
Thank you for your comment. ☺️
There is pros and cons about wearing a seat belt in a big rig btw. So, my choice ✌️
@@DaisyPurpleFlower $200-300 + 3 points and explain to your employer - your choice.
@ImaD-wp7mq 😉
눈길 조심히 언전운전~😂👍
Yep, no problem. 😉✌️
ca fait changement des trucks a Rosedale... et en passant un W900 ça ne ce fait plus automatique.
Oui en effet, ça fait changement et je me suis gâter à conduire ce camion là 😉
nice ride.
Thanks 😃😊😉
Nobody wears seatbelts anymore i guess..
😉
That wouldn't look good on camera I reckon ?
Yes but also it's hard to move with the seat belt.
There is pros and cons about wearing a seat belt in a big rig. So, I made my choice. 😉
I made a Short about it.
Never wear mine in the truck
@user-ru8ks2zx7e 😉
That truck is so clean 🔥
Thank you ! It's a great dealership! 😊😉
Nice to see you drive. Ive Benn driving over 40 years. SEATBELT PLEASE !!!!!!
Thank you Steve. You know, there is pros and cons about wearing a seat belt in a big rig. My choice. ✌️😉

@@DaisyPurpleFlower was a 30 year crane operator and project manager, have drove semi's myself. Drop deck , lowboys, and flatbeds. Did some heavy hauling when not in a crane .
You need a shifter extension
Why????
Nice truck
Thanks 😉
Do You like the truck.
Yes I do like it😉

Don't use the clutch sweetheart
May I ask you why?

@@DaisyPurpleFlower😊настоящие траекры ВСЕГДА переключаются БЕЗ сцепления ЭТО показатель профессионализма 😊 только в начале и конце движения пользуются педалью сцепления 😮 ты должен слышать обороты двигателя и ВТЫКАТЬ нужную скорость 😊это всё придёт с опытом 😊удачи вам ❤
Hello. Nice video. Keep it up.
Thank you ! 😃 It's very kind of you. ☺️
Don't shift so fast and hard. I know the transmission oil is cold but take it easy on your shifting
I don't drive that way when I'm hauling a load. ✌️
Merci!, Beautiful rig :)
😉 It's not my truck though. 😔 I was at the dealership.
That's transmission won't last very long.
Why?
You look like you are enjoying yourself!
Yes! Indeed ! 😉💜☺️
Put your seatbelt on
😉
😊 keep on trucking
Yes! For sure 😉
Nice 👏👏
Thanks 😉☺️
Super cool ! Beautiful Kenworth. Happy New Year 2025 from NZ ❤
Thank you ! 😃 It's not my truck though.
I wish you a great 2025 too! 😉💜
From NZ! I'm impressed!
👍👍👍👍👍Hello, Happy New Year, good health, and a happy year
Thank you ! 😃😊
I wish you the same! 💜
Well done, ma'am, that was great. Just change the camera position so you don't get distracted. 👍🏼
Thank you Sir.😊
If you have noticed, I tried different positions and sometimes I'm looking at the mirror not the camera.
But thanks for your advice.😉
@DaisyPurpleFlower Okay, Princess, I'm relieved. 🌹
@emaadlotfi7416 😉
Princess? You're so sweet. ☺️🥰 Thanks for the rose.😍
@DaisyPurpleFlower Thanks, I didn't do anything. 🙏
Hello from Brazil!! Nice Truck.
Thanks ☺️💜
I like watching you drive drone would be different content sometimes ❤
Yes for sure! I'm still learning how "to drone". Be patient. 😉
Thank you for your comment. 💜
Nice truck, even though I wish the Cats were still available. This is my 32nd year of driving and you can have all the crowded places up your way... lol I pulled windmill blades for a couple of years after many years of heavy-haul, but now run winch trucks in the North Dakota/Montana oilfield (making more money than windmill blades, which is backwards). 18-speeds aren't so useful for highway trucks but work well out here where we pull some steep terrain in the badlands. Tri-drives are common here, as well, with even more "lower gears"... Not to lecture but that seat belt might well save your life, for I've seen the aftermath of bodies under trucks or thrown through windshields (won't lecture more lol)... Be safe out there and enjoy it all while you can, for time passes fast! :)
Thank you very much Johnnie for sharing this with us. It's very interesting. 😃
For the seat belt, I always forget to use it when I make a video. Also I do local deliveries so I have to stop very often and I do very short drives so I lost the habit to use it. Shame on me. 🤦♀️
Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate it a lot. ☺️💜
@@DaisyPurpleFlower You're quite welcome... Sorry if I sound like I'm lecturing (just an old guy that doesn't want to see anyone hurt... Already know all the arguments back and forth lol). I'll check out some of your other vids, as well, of course. My only "sage" advice? Never stop learning new things (I continue to this day). :)
@johnniewelbornjr.8940 Thank you ! You're very kind.☺️
Drove a 2019 like that,nice trucks for sure
