    Just bump what?

    I’ve ridden with drivers who would stab shift the truck, slamming the clutch down, jamming into gear and popping the clutch.

    the clutch brake isn’t meant to be used while the truck is moving, it is to be used to stop the mass in the trans to shift into the starting gear.

    I think he meant you don't need to push it in very far for it to do the job of a clutch. At least that's what I hope he meant.
