    You would have liked the loaner truck I had for a few days... NO clutch brake... so pushing it in all the way didnt do anything... would have worked for you... but no good for learning the right way though!

    Yeah, I have it down pretty good now though. Just have to practice a bit more to tweak it so it's every time. Seem to have the occasional brain fart here and there.

    For the first couple of months I was otr I "double-clutched" alot...but now I float more than double clutch..... unless I have a heavy, heavy load and then I will double clutch....but its so much easier to float.....I guess its whatever you get used to doing....be safe...and Happy Holidays...
