When you have to shift both, looks like hand to hand combat in the cab.

Oh, it's not so bad. Just grab one lever with your right hand, then hook your left arm through the wheel and grab the other lever.
Just kidding. I've seen guys actually do that, but I can't endorse it.
2 stick trannys really aren't that bad when you get onto them. A tach is pretty much a must, and always remember when shifting both transmissions for a single ratio change, always make the upshift before the downshift. That is to say when shifting from 3rd & over to 4th & under, shift the main up first, then drop the aux down. Same deal on a downshift. Shift the aux up first, then drop the main down.
