I like this one. . .nothing like an 18-speed in a big truck. :lol

 

I know they are putting automatics in semi-trucks now.  Seems like sacrilege to me.

One of the Peterbuilts we had had a 5 and 4, two separate shifters. Shifting  with both hands to split gears…..what a trip.

I rode with my dad when he drove one.  When I started driving, those were pretty much gone from the company fleets, at least the ones I worked for. So I understood how those worked in theory (and heard a lot of bad trucker jokes about switching from the main box to the brownie) :smilelolbut never had the opportunity to actually drive one.

 

Yes, it was a trip, I remember my dad had his left arm through the wheel and steered with his elbow while shifting.
