Ok so when I shift in low gears when I first push the throttle the tuck jumps the guy who showed me how to drive said it was cuz I hit the throttle to hard six months later I'm still doing it I don't know how I can ease into it any slower without stalling it so could I be doing something else wrong and if not some advice on how to correct doing it wrong
What am I doing wrong

One thing you can try is wedge your throttle foot against the wall beside the pedal for support, can't do it on all trucks.
Another thing that sometimes helps is move your foot further up on the pedal, if it's the pedal type that's long (rectangular). This makes so more travel distance is needed to add the same amount of throttle. Won't work if its a short (sort of square shaped) pedal.Bean Jr., Zacgehret and Maj. Jackhole Thank this. -
What are the rpms when you shift up in low range?

I never throttle when shifting its unnecessary. Wait until after you're in the gear and rolling then ease onto it.

I can tell you how to shift and it will be so smoooth in low rang.
The trick is shifting at 1,000 RPMs or less. The reason for this is because it's very hard to match the low rang gears. When you shift at 800-1,000 RPMs you don't even have to worry about the gear matching up. The truck can pull the trailer at this low RPM.
Then when you going to high rang bring engine up 1600 RPMsBean Jr., Lepton1 and kemosabi49 Thank this. -
