Hi, yup you gussed it, I'm new. New here and to trucking all together. I'm a 51 year old female who work in an office for 22 yrs (yuk) had a couple other jobs after that and then decided I wanted to get my CDL and drive school busses. Well after 2 yrs of that I have discovered that drama scene isn't for me. I have always had a fascination w/ heavy equip. (prolly because my dad was an operator) in fact, had I listened to him and not my heart when I was a younger girl I'd be half way to retirement by now. Anyways, I am now in the process of getting someone to hire a green horn w/ nothing but 2 yrs of bus driving and 30 hrs of heavy truck driving to drive their 10 wheel dumps or mixers. Oh and beware, I have ton and tons of questions! :-)

Hey can someone tell me what the speeds per gear are for a 5 speed and the suggested rpms to shift it. Also, I am brand new to this trucking world. Still working my way in. This may be a totally stupid question. I just trained on a international dump. Is an 8 speed fuller an 8 speed fuller regardless ?
