i know in school they tell you not to coast. but i love coasting. you run local for a freight carrier like me you will learn to coast. bump braking to get out of a high RPM gear.

you dont need to push the clutch in no more after you take off, and if you are sitting on a downhill and lazy like me, you can let it roll forward without the clutch and then grab your first gear that way and you can drive all over town without ever using the clutch. time your lights right dont roll right up with the car in front of you. say you are in 7th light ahead is going red you are several hundred feet out bump the trottle pull it out of gear and coast.when light turns put it in the gear.

You need a bigger gut. A big belly jiggles a special way in a truck.

Driving a 10-speed, even for someone who has never driven a manual transmission vehicle, is easy as chewing gum. Yes, it took me a few days to get the downshifting, but once I did, good gravy was it easy. I'm eager to learn how to downshift 13, 15, and 18-speeds now...lol!
