Hi I’m currently in CDL school about halfway through. I was wondering what you guys would do in this situation. Let’s say a light turns red and you have to stop in seventh gear you don’t have time to downshift. So you slow down and you’re almost stopping at the light but then it turns green suddenly but you’re still crawling around 5 to 10 miles an hour.
How do you guys do with an empty truck? Would you see if you’ll be fifth gear to put it back into or would you go lower?
