Dave is teaching how to drive a big rig with an 18-speed transmission. He reassures new drivers that it’s simpler than it sounds and proceeds to explain the shifting pattern. He demonstrates the synchronization of foot and hand action while shifting, which is a skill that requires time and practice to master.
Dave also highlights the importance of the right amount of pressure on the clutch pedal. Using excessive pressure on the clutch pedal can engage the clutch brake, which is not desirable.
He emphasizes that drivers should always follow the methodology from their CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) training. This video is meant to clarify some points for drivers when in doubt post-driver training.
In summary, Dave’s video provides a step-by-step guide for new drivers to shift an 18-speed transmission. He encourages them not to be intimidated by it and reminds them to follow their CDL training methodology.
