Pedals-how many and whatare they used for?
I am new to the entire genre/industry/EVERYTHING in fact.
Could someone please help me.? Some pics I have seen the operator area has (4) pedals plus one on the drive shaft ?? I know this is as basic a question as could ever be asked :roll: \ Left to right what the pedals used for I assume, right accelerator, next brake, on the d shaft ? , clutch, then the far left?

From right to left it's accelerator, brake then clutch. That 4th pedal you saw in the picture was probably a foot rest on the far left. Some trucks have them and the do resemble a pedal but it's just a place to rest your left foot.
When you say "drive shaft" do you mean the steering shaft that is by the pedals?

Those adjustment "pedals" look more like the "old fashioned" high beam switch. In a truck without air brakes there would be a true 4th pedal for the parking/emergency brake.

The non-airbrake trucks I've driven all had a "pull" lever that is either connected to the axle brakes or a driveshaft brake. It's normally mounted on either side of the seat.
