My first time driving a semi truck!

I'm learning to drive on the 65 freightliner with two sticks :) I just drove in a very rough field at a friend of ours. I just put the main box in 1st and shifted the 4 speed brownie 4 times, and i didn't get it stuck! I didn't use the clutch either! Not bad for me being 16 years old :)

HAHA NO! I don't think dave would be having semi trucks. Although i wouldn't be surprised if he owned at least 1, beings he has a school bus.

Who are the two assholes that would thumbs down this? Nice shifting! Ive seen guys that have had many years under their belts driving and get thrown into a two stick truck for the day and doin 20 times worse. I remember my first try clank clank grind bang

I was 15 when my dad let me drive his Peterbilt, I didn't use the clutch either, clutches are bullshit. now I'm 20 and driving the same Peterbilt I learned to drive in.

I drove a truck for a year, and i hate those old ass, huge boat wheel trucks so much, later i switched to a new International, its way more awesome then my Rexton

This was pretty dope to watch. It put a smile on my face for sure seeing that truck puttin' around at the end and listening to it. I never drove any truck either but have decided to buy one for the hell of it and learn to drive it while fixing it up. I've found a few I'd like to look at. Been looking at a '59 Pete 351 and a '72 Kenworth Cabover. Found a few old Mack B-61's as well. Hard to pick one because I like em all.
