This used to be called "double clutching". I guess "gear-jammers" are now a disappearing breed. Sad.Is it like the holland freightliners where you can put it in manual mode and downshift sooner and do much better on hills?
I guess no more "Georgia over drive" any more either. That automatic tranny would probably blow into pieces going back into Drive at 95 MPH.This used to be called "double clutching". I guess "gear-jammers" are now a disappearing breed. Sad.
Henry those youngsters need a free hand for the phoneAutomatics ? You gotta be kidding me. Is this to accommodate the new "Generation X" age 21 - 23 drivers that are incapable of using a manual shifter in their cars or pick-up trucks due the fact that a cell phone is always in one hand? Great. Now they can drive trucks one-handed, too. It is unusual to find any kid nowadays that knows how to drive a "stick". For that reason, I'm always looking for a deal on stick shift cars or pickups that just don't sell due to so many young drivers that won't buy them for the above reason (my 2 grand-daughters included). I found 2 good cars sitting in front yards, for sale, (both sticks) that the owners couldn't sell and dealers didn't want sitting on their lots (same reason). I bought both for a "steal". Very good cars, both with 5 speeds.
Not unless they build them with tag axles.Im sure u guys will get them, i believe yrc has them also
They do UPS macks are tags.Not unless they build them with tag axles.
Rear axle driver adjustable air tag is good, Lead tandem axle automatic adjusting air tag bad.They do UPS macks are tags.
I agree sterlings and 15 freightliner is how it should be. This 16 that I'm temporarily driving is dangerous.Rear axle driver adjustable air tag is good, Lead tandem axle automatic adjusting air tag bad.
The old Louisville Ford and later Sterlings were set up with driver controlled rear tag. Best tractors I ever drove on ice and snow. Never used or needed chains in my 16 years there.
Yellow's automatic adjusting lead tandem air tag was the worst. Getting stuck on level ice was not uncommon. No way to manually shift weight to drive axle. What Yellow drivers used to call "the cement mixer trucks" were the worst. Single axle cab-overs were next.
The Safety Dept. and the Purchasing Dept taking the time to ask the people that actually have to drive the equipment their opinions or suggestions on existing or planned road tractors would only be a common sense move to a safer fleet to benefit both company and drivers. They know better than anyone what works and what don't, especially in winter driving conditions.I agree sterlings and 15 freightliner is how it should be.

Sweet Deal for you guys , and we are still driving the old Sterling's !!
Yrc just gave us 60 mack pinnacles 2017

Good thing there aren't any hills in New Penn territory12 spd automatics 63 mph. Dont pull well going up hills
Double clutching? how many clutch pedals do you have? I've learned to do without although, that left side brake pedal goes damn near to the floor.This used to be called "double clutching". I guess "gear-jammers" are now a disappearing breed. Sad.
