Hey bro I've been in this situation myself a few times one of the down falls with the automatic transmission is when you're backing your brake pedal work together with the clutch so the more you use it, it will heat up and not allow you to drive the only way to fix it is to set your park brakes and give it a minute to cool down that's why the C/A came on it stands for clutch abuse. I know it's hard to do sometimes but with automatic trucks when it comes to backing you just have to watch how much breaks you're using otherwise if you use a lot of brakes when you're back and automatic truck you're going to always get that symbol coming on
Well done with the vlog, you seem like a genuinely decent and funny person - I am about as far removed from trucking as you get, but I love your vids. Appreciate the openness, honesty and occasional laugh, wish you the best man. Drive safe
Bro but what I do notice, is that you shift from D to R or R to D without even a complete stop. You’re supposed to stop the truck completely then shift your transmission otherwise that’s how the transmission starts fucking up
Yes sir! You are right! Lol used to happen to me and I used to get hella upset and annoyed at automatics lol. But I darn right started full stopping so that didn’t happen anymore 😂
hey chez you ask alot if we like long videos or not ..here is my answer to you brother its 100% i am with long videos becouse every one interested in trucking will really love this kind of videos..becouse the way you make these videos will give real feeling of what it looks like trucking..i am already getting more comfortable and thanks for that 100% long videos..thanks big brother
You Crack me up. I did toooo much in my younger years, been too many places, parties,concerts, friends. I was never truly happy. Nothing can make you truly happy, it has to come from GOD within. You find what you really like to do on earth. I love the wilderness, solitude, peace. I'd fit right in on a piece of that desert if I could live and do the things I like. People have layers to them and as you go thru life your peeling them away to what you find as real.
You inspired me to go for it and I got my CDL, just put in my hours OTR with my trainer, got my 45 backing down. And will be doing my upgrade final skills test Monday. I'm confident and will be on a dedicated route from southern Texas to Indiana, with CR england and honestly.. No complaints, some have good experiences, and some have bad experiences, mine was good. I don't know how long I wanna work for them but if things keep going good I might stay for the full year. Keep on trucking bro, and be safe out there, hope to run across your path and say what's up!
omg that’s good to hear bro !! and I’m glad everything is working out for YOU and really that’s all it matters as long as your happy then no complaints! always be safe bro and keep trucking if you need anything just hit me here👍🏽💯
@@chez8239 I know we all go through bumps in the road, some rattle our trucks more than others, even if these things get shook up, break down and quit running (which I realized they can and will), we won't, just gotta keep a strong heart and a willing soul, I really appreciate your videos and your shared experiences, they mean a lot to me and others. I also got trucker path app, and bought the Garmin GPS lol no more fear of coming into contact with low bridges 😄. Hope you get back to smooth sailing soon enough, and expect me to ask more questions and or update you and check on you in the near future, stay blessed 🙌
@@chez8239 thanks chez! You're awesome. I'm currently working as a recovery agent for CR england doing live loads and drops in between transferring trucks Between states that have our company academy terminals. It's a fun experience and I'm on my second run already, been getting to my drops about 20-24 hours early. First place took me early, this other one won't.. lol it is what it is 😄. Tomorrow I'm gonna chill in Amarillo loves stop 6 hours from me. Do my 10 reset, then 8 hour rest, then wake up for Monday and drive 2 hours to my delivery and get there an hour early. Then next is Laredo texas and possibly some hotel time lol. Oh! BTW! Garmin OTR 700 GPS has helped me maximize the use of my drive time and helped me get to my stops faster then the qualcomm! I love it! I do double check with trucker path to confirm the info before I go. Just to be on the safe side 🙏🏼
Guess I need to tap the bell I am only now getting notifications about this video. Getting stuck like that stretched across the road made my heart drop I can't imagine how you felt. I was driving across Nevada on 50 once in the days before cell phones. I pulled to the side and slept the night and in the morning old dodge truck wouldn't start. I have to admit that was a bit unnerving. Luckily it was just loose battery cables and I got going. The only living thing I had seen in 6 hours was a couple of coyotes and some turkeys. Love the vlogs keep em coming and stay safe
Chock your wheels and depress you parking brakes and then check the brake pads and slack adjusters, your brakes can be rubbing. May be your transmission. If anything just letting your boss know is probably the best thing.
You overheated your transmission, not the first time I seen that happen. Next time try to keep your steering wheel straight, shut off the engine for a few seconds and turn it back on, works like a charm every time for me.
Just got my Class A CDL (no restrictions)on Monday! Next thing on my list is to get endorsements! Chez you lowkey made me want to get one, so I litterally grinded for 2 months, thanks man fr!
About time brother !!! Sheesh !! But it really does suck what you went through man you can tell from your video how frustrated you are Don’t ever let that get to you, don’t rush it either!! I had a small minor accident myself all because I decided to rush it. Take it slow bro, everything happens for a reason DONT EVER BECOME A SUPER TRUCKER !! 🤣
Nice to see you back bud! just started my new job a few days ago as an Amazon DSP (delivery service partner) driver, still on my path to ultimately getting my CDL A!
when your talking about storms and snow black ice is similar to hard rain, except only difference is sometimes black ice is concealed by snow you wont know you hit it till its to late, That storm you were driving through, last winter i was traveling down the highway and actually witnessed a thunderstorm in winter, no rain just thunder and lightning i was thinking well thats pretty freaking weird
Yo Chez! Been waiting on the next video to drop...I've watched some of your vids twice...Lol...just like how you talk and drive and really like when u show us backing, fueling, coupling and uncoupling trailers, etc. Because this is stuff we gotta do when we get cdl....cant wait to get the notification...be safe!!
CA code is a clutch issue in the auto transmission. Clutch can be adjusted sometimes but may need replaced other thing you can try is unplugging the ground on batteries, or tap the solenoid. Basically get it to a shop and have it serviced
@@chez8239 I just looked it up I'm not that smart either lol. I do air conditioning and heating. My son is getting ready to sing up for a school to get his cdl, you have any advice for him once he gets it's. I'm glad I started watching your videos because he was going to goto one of these companies and I told him what you said about paying for a school and not getting into a overpriced contract. Have a great day brother
@@rollandsaxton ohhh I see nice ! I hope the best for your son and every beginning of a career is tough at first but it will get a lot easier throughout the way (: Just keep an eye on those companies contract and read them very carefully so you guys really know what the deal is and dont be afraid to compare a lot of companies because everyone is ALWAYS hiring lol
I got Verizon. I bought my phone separately not in Verizon store, after 3 months I'm paying 55 a month. No yearly contracts, It normally gets the best reception in deserts or mountain areas.
Well, 7 minutes into your video and so far what,... 6 hour plus you are not making a dime,... sounds like a great job. I did drove a flatbed truck for awhile,... pain in the ass,... butt I always was courteous of the next truck driver. Pulled out of dock when ever I could safely and finished trapping. You had an Ahole, who will get it paid back 10 fold to them, don't you worry!
Lots of trucker channels on UA-cam, and I get something out of many of them. But I really like your vlogs because of your attitude, openness, and watching you grow your career through new experiences! I'm planning on starting my own truck driving career soon, and I like watching you backing up! I hope to start with Swift!
When you could get in reverse or drive anymore you may had fallen below 100psi on your air. This a common and very annoying safety feature on the automatics. When it happens to me I reach down and push down the throttle by hand. Until it’s above 100 again. Sometimes people honk, but they should know better. Like anyone is going to be sitting in the way for no reason.
Try you tubing a video on what to do if automatic transmission locks up or whatever for your year and make of truck, sometimes just tapping the accelerator twice helps, there’s a lot of info on UA-cam as u know, peace bro, be safe !
HEY CHEZ. Thanks bro i really enjoy your videos.. You really helping a lot of people thanks man..at least you are giving confident new people..thank you very much..
Try setting the cruise at 64 for a long trip and see the difference in fuel mpg. ( not to mention the long term difference in maintenance as result of slowing down ) . I know , I know You just think You can't stand to go slower ... but just try it ( give it a week , I've been doing it for over 30 yrs. trust Me when I tell You it's the easiest pay raise You'll ever get , plus , Your back will thank You too )
I’m not gonna lie but what your saying is true lol I drove all california today 62mph and I was really shock with my mpg😂💪🏽 thank you sir for the input for everyone to see (:
@@chez8239 I'm glad You saw for Yourself the difference in Your mpg. When I said it's the easiest pay raise You'll get I meant it literally . The alternative will be exactly the opposite ! The faster You go , the more it will cost You to deliver any load ! You have more wear & tare on Your equipment too , especially tires in hot weather ! Trust Me on the shorter trips You won't save much time in Your moving average mph. If You don't believe Me see for Yourself on Your gps. ! It will prove it . I used to want to run as fast as I could too , but , the older I got the more My back paid the price ( besides , You have to watch out for the other Guys .. the One's that will hit You & total You & Your equipment almost never have insurance , trust Me on THIS one I know first hand ) One more thing ( just thought of ) just because Your truck can go 75 mph. please don't think it's a good idea to do it , specially on a two lane road , in the middle of nowhere in 98 degrees , without phone signal ! A blowout could end very badly for You ! Best case a service call w/ new tire at least $1000 ... Worst case , maybe a toe tag ( on You or OR Others ) !!!! Think about it , is it really worth it ?
“CA” will appear in the gear display if a clutch abuse event is occurring. “AN” will appear in the gear display if the transmission goes into Auto Neutral.
Funny how you was just saying how you wouldn’t drive in a storm with pouring rain and all out of a sudden a storm hits you after you talk about it🤣🤦🏽♂️ crazy how weather works hits when you less expect it but btw I’m new to your channel you’ve motivated me to become a trucker keep up the good work with your videos bro
Hey Chez, I'm heading to trucking school soon, Orlando Fl Hope to see you when I'm an entirely solo truck driver. You also inspired me to start a trucking youtube channel. I have plenty of ideas for my channel. See you soon.
I was once told to pull up on the underside of a stuck clutch pedal with my toe when it wouldn't release fully... I know this doesn't sound like it involves your clutch, but I am.reminded of trying that, just to rule out the brake pedal partially remaining in a depressed position.
I drove flatbed and those jobsites are the worst. They give like 6 trucks all the same appt. time and then you have to wait there half the day until it's your turn. That plus your always driving on some sketchy dirt/mud road to get in.
Hello Chez I think you’re a good driver you seem to me to make good decisions and you’re safe but I see you make mistakes backing up like over correcting and pulling up several times Try and remember we all need to learn You me we can all learn so maybe help those rookies out
Happened to me literally 2 days ago, next time that happens if ur an automatic u have to turn of ur engine turn it back on and press either Reverse or drive 2 seconds after it turns on with clutch in and breaks and it will always go in gear
@@chez8239 no prob big pops wordt part about it i was in the middle of the enterance of the whole complex and i sat there blocking for 1 whole hour LOL
Compressed Air? the same reason your brakes drag after you stop. I would check the air sistem, purge air tanks, keep an eye on the air gauge. The gearbox is powered by air pressure like many other things. Also your compressor sounds a bit loud to my ear, you might wanna check that too
Bro...spent a lot time driving 75mph..come too find out 70mph is a lot easier on the engine and mpg..also that's the speed Google maps go by... great video bro.
Slow down bro, 10 extra mile per hour is not going to take you anywhere, but the chance you are taking on your life plus the life around you is not payable by any paycheck big enough.
I just go and when I need to take my 30 I just stop wherever lol in a way I’m just always checking my hours so I dont go over and I just let my truck gps do the rest😂
Those eaton auto shifts are garbage man. sometimes it helps just to set the brakes and shut the truck off and restart. Have drivers come to the shop with this issue all the time. I know when you were at swift you had the newer truck with the dt12. you can be more quick with them. the auto shifts are just so slow.
Fucking automatic transmissions. Always automatically broken. I'm so glad the company I work for uses 10spd manual in their trucks still. Eaton Fuller manual.
I’m in school for my cdl right now so I should have it by mid November and currently my plan is to buy an iPad and a controller so I can play games and watch videos when I’m not driving. But I still have to try to find a place that will hire me once I get it because I’m 20 right now
I had an automatic that did that also. The reason was because if I tapped the brakes to much it drains the air supply. I would have to stop for a few seconds put it in neutral and hit the gas pedal to raise the air pressure up again then the transmission would engage again.
How do you feel about your job so far? I'm looking to drive at least until I figure something. Your experiences seems positive but like every other video is all about the shit they deal with
Ohhh shoot bro! Your by my job 😂😂 I do the ports and I used to work at that Best Transportation on your right at 2:39 😂 … I’m with a diff company up the block tho since they pay hourly 💪🏽 and not by move. Them ports get crazy backed up. Super dope to see you passing around here man. Update I’m @ 7:25 😂😂 bro I pass there all the time and man this area in Port Newark bro is kill or be killed man. Everybody has a savage attitude man lol. Sorry you had to experience that but yeah man. I’m pretty sure you got cut off by 30 trucks that day 😂 I hope I wasn’t one of them Update @ 11:05 That’s what I hate about automatics and the Freightliner especially. When your air brakes get low from constant stop & go while backing it won’t allow you to enter the gear until the air pressure is back up. ANOTHER thing too, is if you switching from reverse and drive too fast, especially without pressing the brake the transmission will get confused and not allow to enter any gear without restarting the truck. Got me a few times in a Volvo I used to drive lol Last thing! Where did you get your window sun block thing?
@@chez8239 No problem man! I actually started uploading content about trucking and the ports for people who might be interested. You definitely inspired me to start recording and making content about trucking. I really appreciate all you do. And I def see how challenging it can be some times to make this content. Would you mind if I dropped a link to one of my videos here?
I have AT&T prepaid. Its about $60 a month unlimited data and such. Only downfall i see is phone upgrades. Gta pay out of pocket. Other then that i like it.
I’m in road master school to get my CDL-A when I tell you the shit is HARD 😭i always ask myself should I even go tf back I took the test to get my permit and blew that bitch then the pre trip man listen shit ugh make u start questioning your own intelligence 🤦🏾♂️I just wanna fucking DRIVE THE TRUCK MAN DAMN I’m bout to go cry in the corner I be back 🤣
@@Caylajoelle I did I told the pale faces I wanna work hard so I can start my own business and guess what they crusty ass did kicked me to the curve so then I said ok maybe god want me on a different path and so he did now my pockets full 😌so who got the last laugh
You’re funny dude!…I appreciate the videos. Only thing is I wish you weren’t so concerned about people thinking you were weird and film more of the interesting stuff. Most people are weird, just embrace it🤪
Hey bro I've been in this situation myself a few times one of the down falls with the automatic transmission is when you're backing your brake pedal work together with the clutch so the more you use it, it will heat up and not allow you to drive the only way to fix it is to set your park brakes and give it a minute to cool down that's why the C/A came on it stands for clutch abuse.

Bro but what I do notice, is that you shift from D to R or R to D without even a complete stop. You’re supposed to stop the truck completely then shift your transmission otherwise that’s how the transmission starts fucking up
The same would happen to me, and you are 100% right, LOL
That’s why it is always beeping at him. You need to come to a complete stop before flipping to R
True dat lol but you know no one does.. I just got a Manual all these automatic too many problems
Theyre treating it like a car and even a car will have that same problem lol
Yes sir! You are right! Lol used to happen to me and I used to get hella upset and annoyed at automatics lol. But I darn right started full stopping so that didn’t happen anymore 😂

Been waiting for 3 weeks Ma boi always excited to see your vids💯🤞

next time turn it off let the transmission cool down the CA means Clutch Abuse normally happens alot to the Automatic
that makes so much sense thank you!!
nice video & i would like to see a video of you crossing over the potomac river
what state is that at ? 😮 and thank you!
My man back getting me through the work day! Appreciate your vids
I thought you quit vlogging lol good to see you out here still man!
I just get really busy sometimes sorry :( lol but thanks for watching man💯👊🏽
I’ve used polarized fishing glass thru day time rain and it worked
How does it work and what is it and where would you find it 🤔
Hello Chez I think you’re a good driver you seem to me to make good decisions and you’re safe but I see you make mistakes backing up like over correcting and pulling up several times
Try and remember we all need to learn
You me we can all learn so maybe help those rookies out
Thank you sir and most definitely (:!
Happened to me literally 2 days ago, next time that happens if ur an automatic u have to turn of ur engine turn it back on and press either Reverse or drive 2 seconds after it turns on with clutch in and breaks and it will always go in gear
thank you !!
@@chez8239 no prob big pops wordt part about it i was in the middle of the enterance of the whole complex and i sat there blocking for 1 whole hour LOL
@@shrooms6570 LOL !! things could have gotten a lot worser than my experience then😂
Best UA-cam channel I’m glad I found it
Btw I think u need to completely stop before switching from D to R or vice versa
@@edwardromanenya8979 Thanks for watching brother and thanks for the advice that makes all sense to me now (:
Appreciating your vids man
I just got my cdl I did lots of research on the starting companies and your videos are the reason I went with swift lol
not a. bad place to start honestly (: I learned a lot from the company (:
Compressed Air? the same reason your brakes drag after you stop. I would check the air sistem, purge air tanks, keep an eye on the air gauge. The gearbox is powered by air pressure like many other things. Also your compressor sounds a bit loud to my ear, you might wanna check that too
Thank you for this !!💯
Keep up the good work brother 👊
Bro...spent a lot time driving 75mph..come too find out 70mph is a lot easier on the engine and mpg..also that's the speed Google maps go by... great video bro.
Hell yeah glad to see your upload! Made my day lol thanks!!
us hwy 6 goes across the entire united states. i live between 6 and i80 in iowa so there's lots of truckers around here
What a shitty situation that had to be. But the negatives of driving a really used up truck
Slow down bro, 10 extra mile per hour is not going to take you anywhere, but the chance you are taking on your life plus the life around you is not payable by any paycheck big enough.
you got a big point thank you!
CHEZ!!! Missed the vids keep up the grind much love from MS
I appreciate you bro👊🏽💯
I was just wondering how do you do trip planning ? liking the videos btw I really enjoy them.
I just go and when I need to take my 30 I just stop wherever lol in a way I’m just always checking my hours so I dont go over and I just let my truck gps do the rest😂
Keep it up brother more videos 🔥🔥✌🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Love the videos man keep em coming
With my mentor right now have about 120 hours in hopefully I can stay a year at least I know I wanna go to another company
that’s great that you have a plan in mind 👍🏽💯
Those eaton auto shifts are garbage man. sometimes it helps just to set the brakes and shut the truck off and restart. Have drivers come to the shop with this issue all the time. I know when you were at swift you had the newer truck with the dt12. you can be more quick with them. the auto shifts are just so slow.
I totally agree with you man😂
Fucking automatic transmissions. Always automatically broken. I'm so glad the company I work for uses 10spd manual in their trucks still. Eaton Fuller manual.
Another awesome episode bruda🤙🏽
You make me wanna become a truck driver but it looks hard 😞
do it bro ! trust me it’s not it’s just everyday you always learn something new and dont be afraid to make mistakes (:
@@chez8239 k I i will think bout it. Turning 18 pretty soon so gon get my cdl
Same but i think once i graduate highschool i will go to millitary for 4 years then become a truck driver
I’m in school for my cdl right now so I should have it by mid November and currently my plan is to buy an iPad and a controller so I can play games and watch videos when I’m not driving. But I still have to try to find a place that will hire me once I get it because I’m 20 right now
not a bad idea haha I just bring my console with me in the truck and tv 😂👍 glad you coming out young bro the early the better 💰
keep up man love the vids
I had an automatic that did that also. The reason was because if I tapped the brakes to much it drains the air supply. I would have to stop for a few seconds put it in neutral and hit the gas pedal to raise the air pressure up again then the transmission would engage again.
interesting thank you !
“CA” in Gear Display
Indicates that a clutch abuse event is occurring
How do you feel about your job so far? I'm looking to drive at least until I figure something. Your experiences seems positive but like every other video is all about the shit they deal with
it’s great I cannot complain! trucking is definitely a ladder it’s very tough in the beginning but at the end everything will pay off (:
QuikTrip is the greatest place on earth don’t let anyone tell you otherwise 😂
Ohhh shoot bro! Your by my job 😂😂 I do the ports and I used to work at that Best Transportation on your right at 2:39 😂 … I’m with a diff company up the block tho since they pay hourly 💪🏽 and not by move. Them ports get crazy backed up. Super dope to see you passing around here man.
Update I’m @ 7:25 😂😂 bro I pass there all the time and man this area in Port Newark bro is kill or be killed man. Everybody has a savage attitude man lol. Sorry you had to experience that but yeah man. I’m pretty sure you got cut off by 30 trucks that day 😂 I hope I wasn’t one of them
Update @ 11:05
That’s what I hate about automatics and the Freightliner especially. When your air brakes get low from constant stop & go while backing it won’t allow you to enter the gear until the air pressure is back up. ANOTHER thing too, is if you switching from reverse and drive too fast, especially without pressing the brake the transmission will get confused and not allow to enter any gear without restarting the truck. Got me a few times in a Volvo I used to drive lol
Last thing!
Where did you get your window sun block thing?
thank you for watching bro and I got it from amazon !😇 sorry for the super late reply I did not see this comment 😭
@@chez8239 No problem man! I actually started uploading content about trucking and the ports for people who might be interested. You definitely inspired me to start recording and making content about trucking. I really appreciate all you do. And I def see how challenging it can be some times to make this content. Would you mind if I dropped a link to one of my videos here?
Your making me wanna start trucking
Been waiting on video bro keep it up ‼️
There are certain apps that only use wifi that can simulate a phone number. I've used them before in the past.
Yo We need more vids more often bro that's hella gud
haha hey sorry I been so busy lately but soon more will come thank you for watching !
@@chez8239 hyped yessir 🤘🏻

You’re funny dude!…I appreciate the videos. Only thing is I wish you weren’t so concerned about people thinking you were weird and film more of the interesting stuff. Most people are weird, just embrace it🤪
Welcome back bro!
You da man! When you getting that 400Z!?
Need to reset your transmission. Usually result from not emptying your air tank daily. Water build up.
I see thank you !
dude u almost to area 51!!!!!!!! clap alien cheeks
Dumb question but I don't know any better. How do you manage waiting that long, what if your time on the wheel runs out?
Bruh... was that a jar of hellman's just chilling on the floor at 30:41? Please tell me that was not a random jar of mayo out in the heat my guy.
noo lol those were my wet cleaning wipes they keep falling from the compartment 😂
Damn bro thought I was going to have to call the tow Man👞👞🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
😂😂 NICE ONE
I've never entered a notification so quickly xd
👊🏽💯
Thanks for the upload brother. Keep em coming!!!
I miss my automatic but don’t miss those time.. I faced the fact manuals is better.
Cascadia? I noticed they have air leak issues that affect the transmission
Man you real can tell you went to,... puiblic schol , MAN !
I told you bro, not rush calm down and reset your brain we all doing the same job. Good thing the latino bro was passing by.lol
