So it's the same as a car, but when you go into 5th, it becomes essentially the second set of gears, so you switch the lever up, and when you down shift from 5th into 4th, you pull the switch down, then put it into the lower right side, right? What about 12/13 speeds?
Ooh i see. well i am going to get right to it because i really want to learn how to drive a tractor trailer…… Thank you Jimmy Cox you have bin really helpful…… Can you advise me on this!!!!!! I am living in Jamaica and there are no schools here that teaches you how to drive a tractor trailer so do you think that i can learn how to drive one on my own "like watching your videos and with some of you advise?????
It's a tough question. A few weeks in a school, or self taught hopefully with some help, can get you on the road but after that you going to be learning how to deal with a lot of situations out there. I think it takes at least a couple years before you start feeling experienced with it. I'm still learning things. It's really important when you're starting out to take your time, and always be looking around you and in your mirrors to see the space around you.

Wow your explanation was the clearest Ive heard and the easiest to follow.
unless you take your driving test in a truck with an Ultrashift, Autoshift, or an I-shift. Then they can't make you do anything.
gearing down is my weakness and backing up , any suggestions?
A school is down by the wharf that where i will be going to get my practice and also a certificate in trailer driving.
any tips on parralel parking both driver and blinside? off track backing? on a 27ft pup?tks
Thanks

Try to get a job in the shipping department of a company that has some tractor trailers. I started out loading and unloading trucks.
