The usual standard for a mechanical clutch linkage is to adjust the push rod at the bell housing till you have about 1 inch of free travel at the top of the pedal's travel. As they wear, the travel will disappear. It sounds like you may have something bent or broken. Check the fork and try to look inside to see if the release bearing has broken loose in the fork. Bad cab mounts or a shifted cab can cause all kinds of crazy clutch problems, too. If you have a hydraulic clutch mechanism, then check the fluid level first and inspect for leaks, particularly at the slave cylinder. Also, air in the lines will cause the problem you describe.
Good Luck and God Bless.
