I have trouble with smooth shifts especially from 1-2 if I use the clutch. I drive a semi quite a bit so I am used to floating gears. Smooths as butter then.

what do you mean by floating gears?

let off the gas and put tension on the shifter and it will fall out of gear. As the RPMs drop push/pull the shifter in to the next gear and if you catch the revs right it will fall in with no grinding.since the SRM is operated by the clutch pedal it never interfers with up shifting. It is easier to do on big trucks because the engines don't rev as fast or as high. 2500 or so red line. That and most aren't synchonized so they are a little sloppier.
