A) Own the truck.
or
B) Have to pay for (or perform) clutch adjustments and replacements.

Simple. Don't use the clutch.
Park on a hill right near the top.
Press down on the clutch pedal.
Shift into high range and reverse.
Release the brakes.
As you start to roll backward and reach a good speed, release the clutch pedal and mash the throttle.
Remove transmission from gear.
Slam on the brakes.
Product is now shifted.
This was saved for extreme conditions when a scale was known to be open en route and the bunker FINALLY dislodged into your trailer. Rare as hell. Maybe 2 times a month out of 80 loads.
