A Truck transmission is way different den a car.

Have you even started to learn how to drive a truck yet? -

Not that much of a difference. The only real difference is that you double clutch in a rig. I've driven both.
Well there is a difference, when your in a car with a gas engine and a fully synchronized transmission, as you let of the clutch you must give it some acceleration or it will stall. In a big truck, provided your in the correct gear based on the overall weight of the vehicle and whether or not your dealing with an incline, you can slowly release the clutch and there is no need to give it accerleration, in fact you could evem idle shift it between 2nd and 3rd and never touch the fuel pedal. -

I'm not talking about floating gears, still using the clutch just no fuel pedal. I remember our school showed us idle shifting on the very first day in the truck, I'm sure Rerun uses this method, as it has been taught by driving schools for years. The sudents always want to rev between the gears, but there no need on that low end in a truck.
