how hard are truck skools? ive drove stick cars but sucked if it was gas because i had a hard time either gassing it too much taking off or stalling but diesel pickups where easy to start in.

Is shifting an unsynchronized eaton hard to do or learn to do, id love t know how how to drive one and have a cdl even if i dont want to be a trucker

thank you

>hating on instant maximum torque with no shifting required
>implying a 30 minute charge time is a problem when everyone has to take DOT-mandated breaks anyways

I unironically love big diesels and I can still see the benefits to this thing. It's possible to love both.

I feel really sorry for anyone who has taken/ will take cdl courses recently. They're going to become so worthless so quickly and the job market will be flooded with jobless truckers with no other life skills. and all that money on classes wasted. It's gonna be beautiful.

someone will still have to babysit the payload.

Hi I'm a Tesla fanboy

>implying
This mindset espoused by techie morons never ceases to make me laugh. Ships have been running across the ocean on autopilot for decades now, and with computers getting better, you don't even have to put the ship into manual steering to do course changes anymore. But you still have guys on the bridge at all times maintaining a navigation watch. You know why? Because shit can and does go wrong. Things that the autopilot can't account for happen. You need the trained professional there to monitor the vehicle and take over in case the situation requires it, or in the case of narrow channels or city streets, to fine-tune the navigation of the vehicle much finer than the autopilot can manage. The insurance liability alone will require someone in the cab. Furthermore, it's always good to have a represenative of the owners right there to perform maintenance/sign off on repairs when required. There will still be CDL truckers in the cabs of autonomous trucks, even after they finally become widespread.

For now. But why should they have to pay the same amount they do now to people who will suddenly do much less work? Not that these things are going to need drivers in the next five to ten years once corporations get greedy enough to lobby away the need for a driver entirely. You're witnessing the last days of truckers.

Oh yeah, you need somebody there to supervise the payload during loading/unloading and to monitor it during transport, too.

don't you wish you had a union as powerful as the train crews?
