Driving a MT is not some special mad skill that only a select few can do and to glorify starting on a hill as a major achievement is just silly.

Yep, never have done heel & toe. Including driving a loaded rig like this, one winter, at age 17, between Paris, KY and Huntington, WV. And yes, it was before the Interstate was built, so it was uphill both ways ...... but it wasn't snowing .....
Why didn't I heel & toe ....... because, unless you had a shoe size 18 foot with a deformed ankle ...... it was impossible.
