speaking for myself i don't use lower gears for taking off when unloaded

Not all use every gear on take off when unloaded. If they know their equipment they can skip gears but like the truck I drive has a auto shift and it starts in 2nd loaded or unloaded and unless I select low gear and I let it shift though the gears because it is computer regulated so it won't stall or "fall on it's face" so to say but it does take off quicker unloaded

Gear Jammin' fools.

I like it when they use every gear when bobtailing. (No trailer). It is in-experience. Yes, you can skip some gears easily enough. Jimmy
