    U explain floating gears so good that i took my road test for a company the other da, never have driven a 10 speed once (cdl school had 6 speed) i was able to float the gear almost perfectly within 10 minutes of driving, if you could can you do a video or explain on how to shift on hills mainly downshifting going either up or down, Thanks keep up good work

      Oh my this is a nice truck must be a common carrier. I have worked as a company driver for Shell, HESS, Citgo any of these companies you are caught floating gears you are fired, the tattle tale tells no lies. Do not do it . surprised about this, and its dangerous. Never do this you will regret it if something goes wrong and all is recorded .. Common carrier is shit work but still okay. All companies are getting rid of company fleet for lower paid no benefit common carrier but still its better than walmart stock.

      Is floating gears just changing gears without pushing in clutch? Had no idea it has a name if it is 😆

      Had no problem with shifting gears in school, but had a hell of a time backing…
