Sounds like your instructor likes making the mechanic adjust the clutch. geesh.
I will shift them all, if taking off on a steep hill or pulling doubles at 151000 gross, but a standard load, usually not. Downshifting on a steep hill I just split the first time then grab whole gears or three depending.magoo68 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -

If it's stalling out, then you are probably letting off on the clutch too fast. Just ease out slowly untill you feel it start to grab, once the truck starts moving you can let the clutch out further.
It's almost a two stage process. easy till it starts to move, and then you can let it out faster, but not much faster.Canadianhauler21 Thanks this. -
It also depends on type of clutch, button clutch (metallic) is grabby, no on and off easy, rag clutch smooth, kelvar lined, SMOOTHEST.

Dump the clutch and hold it to the floor
