But Americans aren't taught to use an hand brake at all, in fact many I've been driven by only ever use it when parking on a hill. In fact that's what they call it, "the parking break", it's just not something that they learn to drive with.
That said, I've been in some US trucks where the parking brake is a foot lever to the left of the normal pedals - it's useless for hill starts, it really is just a parking brake.
