In my opinion it's just a saying for the more you grab the faster you go....So grab a gear an go!!

It just means shifting. Another words you are grabbing gears as you shift.
Keizer Thanks this. -
It means just what it says. Wind it up in one gear, grab another.
IE shift to the next higher gear, or lower.
In most cases, it's the higher gear. -
thanks yall

Yep unlike a car where you can just shift at any rpm or gear, a big truck you have to time it just right so its kinda like grabbing something as it moves, if you miss the right time you miss the gear.

I like your sig tag. Just remember that, and you'll be happier than 90% of the people you know. Even the rich ones
Nothing worse than a cry baby with money LOL -
It's all about road speed and engine speed merging together.
Just don't miss when starting (at a dead stop) from an incline; or miss as you prepare to go down long steep grades like Donner, Conway (395), or Siskiyou. -
I think grab can have two meanings. It can simply mean shift, or find a gear.
