As a semi driver, here is a tip it is called dusting. Shifting without the clutch is 99% throttle control and 1% moving the shifter. You can learn the right speeds and turn your ear to engine speed for shifting by as sugested by others balance engine speed to the forward motion. At thhe point of balance the shifter will slip to neutral. Then if you very lightly rub or dust up against the desired gear and match with the throttle. Hope it helps.
