He claims he's never driven an automatic tractor but ole dude doesn't use his clutch shifting from what I've seen but he says do as I say not as I do
It takes time...ease up on yourself. You'll get it, no prob.
He needs to be the 'example and show you how'....that's what TRAINING means!....so he should be going in to neutral pump to gear. Tell him you need to see him double-clutching and learn the rhythm.

I did my stint and I did much better than my partner but still can't find 4th but managed my other downshifts well. He's showed us how to double clutch but he doesn't seem to remember to do it when he's out on the road. Don't know if that's because he forgets cause of age or just falls back on old habbits
Good afternoon from Atlanta burbs.....delivered and hour early and here in a __-----------!
I unloaded 4 hours early, so there. I'm not in Georgia anymore. 
Well y'all I shall be returning after my cruise next week to the world of expedite...seems the truck owner of that car hauler expected me to run illegal, 2 to 3 hours sleep per day, 20 hours per day work...for 3 weeks straight, then refused to pay me. OOIDA, DOT, FMCSA etc will be talking to them soon...
Anyways, I'd much rather be with yall, maybe not getting rich, but working on my terms.
Order for my new Promaster will go in early to mid Oct.

Margaritaville is out of their jurisdiction. Send the CIA!
Those ships leaving from San Juan have a reputation for being rowdy. Whether that's good or bad is up to you...
All Aboard!
