First time driving semi's - can't recall 'what the minimum & maximum rpm' for the truck engine? Is it 0-5000rpm?

Or am I getting that confused with something else?

Hi all, I live in Australia and am 40yrs old. I changed careers 3 years ago and decided I wanted to drive trucks. Drove 6-8 tonners for last 3 years then got MC licence so i could drive the big rigs.

I've just started a new job with only small truck experience, no semi experience, which the boss has taken me under his wing to help me get experience etc. However the men in the company question me constantly about the engine etc and state that I should know all these things. I feel that these guys forget they had to start somewhere and didn't know everything and possibly still don't, even after all the years they have been driving.

Just want a chance to learn, not be criticized for it and just because I'm a women doesn't mean I'm not capable.

Please help!!!!
