Semi truck shifting mistakes

[awaroots]

🤣🤣🤣 man took that “grind it til you find it” a lil too serious

[scoopersketchy]

I love how Walter White comes out of nowhere and puts it into gear

I remember missing a shift during my CDL training. Coming down a hill towards a light that was a very stale green, blew the shift and was trying like hell to get it as the light was turning and the truck was picking up speed down the hill. I was shitting myself and my instructor, cool as a cucumber says "it doesn't matter which one, but you'd better find a gear".
One of the best instructors I've had in any course, thanks Barry

I remember crying and stressing at the hotel during the training because you only could mess up twice on your final test. Living in my car during the 2009 recession added more pressure. Back completely against the wall. Made it through that. Got my CDL on my 21st birthday homeless in Memphis, TN.
15 years later still doing it, love it and appreciate those trying times of how it all began. Keep showing up.

Not only does he have to worry about the teacher aggressively shifting when he’s loosing gears. He got buddy in the back seat as well recording and holding in his laugh lol

[benjaminadrainrivera]

I’m an instructor for a private Cdl school and trust me screaming at the student and grabbing the gear like that only makes them more nervous

[ntcalderon]

Former CDL instructor here - when I had a student in the driver seat for the first time I had them hold the clutch with the truck off and go up and down the gears to learn where they were. Made a world of difference

Be patient with him. He shows determination by showing up, sitting behind the wheel and actually trying. He could possibly end up being one of the greats to ever do it and gain himself a brighter future due to your help, knowledge and patience.

When the instructor slams it into gear it causes the student driver to be more nervous than they already are.

Homie: Yo, let me borrow your car.
Me: Sure

I hate when instructors don’t give information to drivers while mistakes are occurring.

[jamisoncavazos]

Whoever is in the passenger seat, he's the last shithead you want up there with you, get someone who will talk you through it before you hit the seat, then reinforce that prior understanding while you're in the seat, best way I've learned and taught

[oldman]

"Ya gotta grind befo' ya shine" is how I look at it

[mrgroosumthasandman]

WE ALL WERE THERE ONCE! Don't act like you weren't! 😏

[talaverajr]

People may laugh, but at least he's trying to better himself. Not giving up is bad ass no matter how ridiculous you may look.

I remember when I got my CDL I was horrible at shifting, I remember grinding, loosing gears, stalling, and getting screamed at called every curse word by the instructor lol, surprisingly I improved quick and was able to get my CDL in 3 weeks

[beefitnbeethouvens]

The instructor is stressing him more than the gears 🤦🏽‍♂️

[gdcatalyst]

Everyone's gonna learn somehow. Nobody starts out perfect. Driving these things really is an art lol

[fredypacheco]

Be fast with your foot when double clutching and see the difference 😌

Reminds me of when I was getting my boxtruck license. My instructor rarely ever said anything good about me and took all the joy out of me when I was finally taking my first steps into my dream job. It only slowed down my learning process, and I ended up miserably failing my first exam. Had some more lessons, some with different instructor, and passed my second exam with flying colours. I got my trailer license in one go, mainly because I had a good instructor that was patient and genuinely a good guy.
