Keep this to yourself, but there is a go faster button, not many people know this, but if you push the heated mirror button and hold it for 30secs it gives extra power.
This is true, I heard it off a driver in Tesco Welham Green, he knew what he was talking about, he’d done the middle east when he came out of the SAS and he had to back off the HOFE as he had a 13 metre trailer and there was only room for a 40 footer.
… That button might make you go faster, if, having taken your hand off the steering wheel, you find yourself hurtling off a cliff at places like this…
It is called the exhaust brake, you may even be lucky enough to have a retarder as well although you only get retarder a in top of the range motors usually.
The button you press when heavy to increase traction on your drive axle is called the load transfer button and you should only need this when its wet if at all.

I’m bored waiting to pick up 24 pallets of juice so i thought i’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
24 Pallets sounds heavy, you had better go looking for that switch then

Well, i have heard some questions on Trucknet asked before, but my god, i have never heard anything like that in my whole career in transport 50 years, so its either a very funny wind up, or theres something seriously wrong with the driver. At first read, i had to look at the name, in case it was Rob k.
Truck 11 may i suggest you return to stacking shelves in supermarkets.
