Not the most efficient but the safest way of driving.
I would like to send a message to the HR C that rejected my app because I didn't float flawlessly on my test drive.
What is the SAFEST way to drive double clutch or floating

I'd say floating is both safer and more efficient. The less the driver is moving around in the cab, the more energy they can devote to driving the truck. Double clutching is just a waste of friction material.
bigred81 Thanks this. -
then why is it mandated by the dmv?
CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -

If you're on a downhill and the weight of the load begins to push against the driveline, you'll notice floating doesn't work very well anymore. At that point you'll at least need to push the clutch in to get it OUT of gear.

Mr safety will tell you the cdl book says to never ever shift going downhill. Or in an intersection. Or over a rail road crossing. Or while making a turn. Heck its got so many times of when not to shift its amazing we ever get out of the low side of the tranny.
Double clutch, single clutch, float. None of them are any safer than any other.
