hi guys I'm new to trucking( for my Cdl about two months ago) but I'm having trouble in one area and that's coming to complete stops . When I'm stopping I get kinda nervous and I end up stalling. Which is a huge problem when I get into traffic areas . I had a job lined up and I kinda blew it because of this. The guy said all my other aspects of driving where find except for that so he thinks I should do otr for a bit to fix it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

At complete stop you put tranny in neutral, when you take off you put it in gear and get going. Am I missing anything here?

Coming up to lights I always stop accelerating kinda...especially stale lights. Remember your the biggest slowest death missle ever take your time. Down shift 10-8-6 then ride her on in. Clutch in, never go to stop in neutral in case someone behind you plows you. Stop it and neutral for leg rest, 2 for loaded or 3 for unloaded and take off you'll be fine buddy!
