    I haven't taken another test since I posted this thread obviously, so I dont know how what people have said in the past few days AFTER I have taken my test could have somehow helped me pass.... Im a person that literally learned how to drive a semi yesterday, obviously I'm going to listen to my instructor who's been doing it his whole life. Also Im never going to drive semi ever in my life. probably ever. Not a fan of being in a truck all day.

    Trust me I appreciate some of your guys help. I came to a forum/website where I could hopefully get good information which I did but some offer no help at all, just smart comments. Thats fine. A lot of you maybe need to go back to the time driving your first manual vehicles and think of the challenge it may have been from the start, which I assume it was. Im sure if I told some of you to climb 100ft poles and handle live electricity and not kill yourselves in the process you probably wouldn't know well what to do, but I sure as hell wouldn't be heckling you like you should know how to do it. Please have some consideration.

    You're starting in too tall of a gear. Use 2nd gear. Remember it's like a see saw when you were a kid if you ever played on one with your friends. He goes up while you go down smoothly. First find out where the clutch engages at, usually it's and inch off the floor, then ease out the clutch and lightly press the accelerator at the same .
