Sometimes when I'm driving semi I wonder how many people double clutch and how many people float the gears. I know mostly everyone floats the gears, but I know a lot of drivers who double clutch cause they say it's easier on the transmission. They always say I would rather put in a clutch than a transmission. I do both sometimes when im driving just so I don't lose the feel of doing it. I know some people who cant double clutch anymore cause they been floating gears for so long and vice versa.
Sometimes I wonder

When I'm Really lazy I push my yellow button and hope that the truck will roll down just fast enough so i can slide it in 2nd gear hello come in
I have over 850,000 miles on my Eaton and just replaced the clutch @ 780,000 miles
So if double clutching is better for the trany I Like to see that
double clutching is for people that rev up the engine to high and try to shift gears too fast it's a way to put the bake on the clutch to slow it down most likely was Designed for people that are too excited and they are not calm & cool on that stool 10/10 -

I does both but Its there for a reason so I usually clutch em up

I only use the clutch to pull out or stop. I don't see how it's hard on the trans if you're not grinding gears. Double clutching to me seems like a good way to fry the clutch. I did fake it on my CDL test because I was told you had to do it. Floating gears just seems more natural to me though.

My job is so boring I count the number of times I shift sometimes,lol.Anyway if I can't get it into gear I double clutch otherwise it's floating.

One of the few topics all drivers can agree on.
Both methods have an advantage/disadvantage. It behoves an experienced driver to be proficient at both. That's my finally word on that.
