S is not reverse. S is brakes.
Shift into reverse and use W for throttle. You're welcome
Check what key you have assigned to select reverse gear

I set the game to real automatic. How in the hell do you shift this thing into reverse gear? The settings show a key selection for brake/reverse, not a separate key selection for reverse by itself.

Try switching to "simple automatic" in your settings.

That setting is (brake/reverse) for simple automatic only, a mode which should not even exist. Go to Real Automatic. Bind a key to Forward, bind a key to Reverse, bind a key to Neutral. There, you're done.

For Kb+Mouse control..

Key bindings for Real Automatic are :
Shift Up
Shift Down
Shift To Neutral

Shift Up: (tap once to go From Neutral to Fwd Gear)
Once in gear, going forwards the truck changes gear like an Auto. Using the Brake key (whatever you've bound it to) will stop the truck .. eventually .. and whilst slowing down the truck changes down to suit and once at a stand still, selects a suitable gear for taking off again.
Take care on inclines. The truck can roll fwds or backward, depending on the truck's orientation.

Shift Down: (tap once to go from Neutral to Reverse. Tap twice to go from any fwd gear to reverse))
Once in gear, tap the Throttle once. This should be enough to get the truck moving. If on flat ground, the truck should keep reversing at idle speed. Tapping the brake key once will halve that speed.

Shift To Neutral: (tap once to go from any gear directly to Neutral)
Often referred to as "knocking out of gear"
This is especially handy when you're out of air and need to fill the tanks quicker. Just rev it in neutral.

Simple Automatic does not have neutral.
