    Exactly. Here's what Cummins had to say a few years back. Accelerating-Start the vehicle from a standstill at the slowest engine speed that will move the load. Select a gear ratio that will permit starting the load without slipping the clutch.

    You take a road test with me and slip the clutch I'll stop you right there.

    Gashauler,

    You and any good safety guy, realizing what kind of damage they could do.

    Not to butt in but I thought he was commending you on stopping the trainees that slipped the clutch.

    I do apologize. Sometimes the old brain isn't working like it used to.
