    hum the adams family song... da da da dun snap snap da da da dun snap snap
    the snap snap is your double clutch rythm.. snap neutral snap gear, clutch neutral clutch gear... Also, for the clutch, remember to only dip you toe.. what I mean is dont over press the clutch.. you only need the top little bit to shift..

    Dont worry about floating gears that will come naturally in time.. and a clutch is less expensive then a transmission...

    Relax and breath... that is very important.. when we tense up we make more mistakes.. just relax, breath and have confidense in yourself.. you can do this.. you have come a long way already... remember there was a time when tying your shoe was frustration and complicated.. and you learned that and many many more things.. so you can learn this too...

    Well all the advice from these drivers are good, but once you feel the truck its like a piece of cake after shifting a lot and learning the truck and you become more comfortable with it you'd be fine once your on your own there's no one to tell you what to do and how to do it you just have to make smart decisions an in trucking you learn something just about everyday any how no matter how long you've driven for just gotta be smart about it it will all work out
