I want to publicly express my thanks for this bit of advice RJ passed along a few weeks back. This one little tip, quoted below, made all the difference in my confidence driving my coach. Thank you!! If you are ever near Atlanta the first drink cold or hot is on me "All - Slight incline starting tip: Air brakes have a slight delay when being released - use that to your advantage: Bring the clutch up to just under the take-up point. Make a full service brake application (right to the floor), release, begin to let out clutch and come on the throttle at the same time. With a little practice, you can walk it away from a stop on a hill almost as smoothly as from the flat and level." |
