Ok upon arriving at work I found I was given a different unit for the day but being a professional driver I didn’t let the pressure get to me.
I found my allocated trailer and proceeded to do my rigorous daily checks on this new unit and discovered it wasn’t a normal don’t know I’m born auto box scania. (sorry im not a real man from the olden days that slept on a matchstick with just a carrier bag for a pillow) yes it was a 3 over 3 manual box to my horror!!!
Any way with just 4.5 hours driving time anjust 6ft clearance either side of the unit I showed all my skill and blind sided the unit round under the trailer with 1 wrong move spelling disaster Causing the driver next to me to pee himself laughing that is)
I hooked the trailer up and to my horror found the height of such trailer was 16ft 1" and the real men on tv have told me this is illegal as it’s over 16ft !!!
Again not letting the pressure get to me (and being a scouser I didn’t steel a thing or get my medallion or mustache caught in the lines)
I didn’t even get my already tea stained string vest covered in 5th wheel grease a proud moment in my career.
So into the unit I go again and stare at this stick thing with numbers on it 123 flick a switch half way down stick thing and get gears 456 all good
But…
Anther switch on the top left of the said numbered stick.
All my question is what’s that 2nd switch for■■?
Is it like high and low 1st ect,
