Three Stick Shifting In A Kenworth W900L

If you want to know what it was like to drive a truck in the early days, well here it is.

A Kenworth W900L set up with a stick for each function. One for the gear, one for the splitter and one for the hi / low range.

Makes things a little more complicated for a bit of a thrill, especially when you have the industry screaming for automated transmissions to reduce stress and fatigue on the drivers.

Brings back the days of the suicide shifters in the old Macks.

It’s all fun and games until your pulling a high center gravity load in high winds with that beast.

I will give the driver credit though, he has a lot of talent and it’s pretty sweet to see in this day and age.

I’m just glad it’s him and not me.
