[QUOTE="LifebehindbarsBMX, post: 3131884, member: 68846"] when I took my test I was informed by a driver that helped me get the job that the trucks are turds and they are set at high idles so they literally can't stall (unless you full on can't drive a stick). When I drove I knew it was geared low and the catch point on the clutch was set high therefore you can literally drop the clutch on every shift and bang em out. I jumped the truck and almost stalled it once because the instructor told me to use the hand brake on a hill and I was like "I can go with no rollback" (it wasn't a big hill) but he said no I was to use the brake so I did and when I started moving I removed the brake and he started yelling "No no you wait until you shift then remove the brake" I was like "say what!?!?" well in this whole confrontation I wasn't paying attention to driving and pretty much parked the truck in the middle of the intersection [/QUOTE]
