Stopping using clutch

Just don't move in small increments. Hold back till there's room worthwhile to move on.

In a few weeks of actual driving you'll have some experience and this will not be an issue.

 

Clutch then brake. You'll have time.

 

Rpm lower than idle+ brake while the clutch is out is how you get that jerking. That truck wants to stay at its base idle rpm and your telling it to stop. At a slow speed like 1st gear (or 2nd or 3rd) top idle speed for those gears would be Gear x 2…(3rd gear clutch out essentially your idling at 6mph no throttle).. the Lower the gear the less throttle it takes to move through the tachometer or lower gears just have a lower range speed and tachometer wise..so if you are at the top of a gear you can brake down to a slower speed then push the clutch in at the bottom of a gear… 1st gear. Will alway be a clutch first situation. 2nd and 3rd will often be that way too… the better you get at shifting you’ll mainly use the clutch to only come to a complete stop or take off… hope it helps

 

Depends on the grade. If you are going uphill you are going to need to come off the clutch and brake to go forward. If you are going downhill letting off the brake is enough. If you are level slowly ease off BOTH the clutch and brake, I have been at lights where all I was doing was holding in the clutch and just covering my brake. This is something that will come naturally over time, don't overthink it.
