All I know is , if this guy tried hauling wood down a winter haul road, he'd be in the ditch before he even got to the log loader!

The really funny thing is this guy is from Canada. .I bet he has more miles then most in this thread rolling back from stop sings. Yeah it would be a pain in the azz to drive for sure heck a 5x4 is but its not your farm rig its a long haul truck.

Well holy smokes, do I ever have egg on my face!!!

I read Irving in one of the comments and thought it was California. I watched less than 2mins & was so disgusted with such a pityfull display of professionalism that I didn't look to see where it was from... my appologies for assuming it was my southern neighbor.

Never-the-less, he's still a Retard for doing it! And especially so b/c the roads throughout Canada are no where near as perfect as 90% of the USA! I hope he looses his license for doing something so dangerous & with such utter disregard for the safety of others who share the road with him!

one of them is a dummy shifter though makes it so obvious one is.

That's my final guess.

lol...hmm I'll check into it before I believe. Alot of guys now days faking one at least. Was up at peterbilt and kenworth the other looking at a truck and I asked about it and they told me most of them are dummy ones the get requested to put in and make them move like real. lol I'll check into this guys truck before I do.

I've driven an old white mixer 220 or 30 cummins and a 5+3 and it's fun to do so you know what it is like but, I wouldn't do it again as an everyday task for nothing, I get tired after shifting one all day. I feel wore out just watching it. This is just more reality TV mocking another occupation.

that dudes nuts ill stick with my one lever 13s and 15 spd,on my routes them 3 levers wouldnt work to many curves,he must enjoy shifting

[Lmackattack]

A real 2 or 3 stick truck does not use air to split,shift,range select....just saying...

Give me an old quad box and I will show you what twin sticking is about...

[doodlebug]

I used to slip seat a Ford & Diamond T dump trucks, 1 had 5 & 4, other one had a 4 & 4.
The fun part was, both stick's were opposite between the truck's.

Your so right Neil,
there will always be something to see. The levels of stupidity and crazy stunts to be thought of will entertain us for a lifetime!

Just found this one, a 450 ton Russian Haul truck. Reminds me of a 350 Payhauler.

From left to right, the first 2 sticks are a 4 speed browni box, then a 5 speed main box. Looks as if they put an additional gearbox behind that set up.

I once drove a setup similar. There was a 4 speed brownie box, with a 5 speed main box, & behind that was mounted a modern 13 speed transmission. Other then show, there's never a need to move the 5 speed mainbox, but there is occasionally a usefulness to shift the brownie box.
