The same way you would on a road tractor. If it has an automatic transmission (the Allison six speed is quite popular), it does it for you. If it has a manual transmission, it will be unsynchronised, and you will either have to double clutch or float the gears - let the RPMs run up to 1100 - 1200, drop it out of gear, when the RPMs drop to 700, pop it into the next gear up. After doing it for a while, you get to a point where you pay little to no attention to your tachometer, because you'll be able to do it by the sound of the motor alone.
