ive driven trucks since 1982, i use the clutch to start up and at a traffic light otherwise never,now changes have been made to truck transmissions so the newbies can drive them,cdl schools teach students to duble clutch, but if you can pick up the rythm and timing you can float the gears up or down, this takes pratice, lots of pratice, and every power train/ engine combo has a different feel to it,funniest thing i ever had happen was one time a couple of years i gave a ride to a stranded driver , he needed to get where i was going, he drove for swift, he watched me run up through the tranny on a 15 speed in the 379 pete i was driving , then proceded to tell me his instructor/ trainer told him that wasnt possible, well, i said you just set there and watched me do it , i showed him the basics but showing isnt the way, you have to do it to be able to get it right, and no, he did not get to try it out on my rig lol also some trannys are easier to float shift than others , hugh's rig, like most of the carlisle rigs should have a 18 speed in it, and he may just be more comfortable using the clutch some drivers are some do it old school, the main thing is dont miss and grind the gears
