I've always wondered where the line was with that, between drivers and owner operators.

35+ years ago with the family business, we had a Mack tractor with an 8 gallon tank trailer. A friend of my father's would drive it for him occasionally. His view was like many, like yours. But my father would tell him "a new clutch is $800. A new transmission is $8000. Use the goddamn clutch". :)
If the rpm isn’t matched properly the clutch won’t do shit though. Sure, you can get it out of gear, but getting it back into another gear requires precise matching of the engine and driveline rpm. I just spent 10 hrs doing it today, just like yesterday.
 
I view this forum on two computers and two hand held devices, five different browsers? And with each one there's stuff I can see and can't. Don't know why. But it does make threads like this more interesting to revisit, see all the things I missed.
