CNKS & Paul: Note he said he has a 5 speed. Now I ask you, why do you think 99% of highway tractors are equiped with standard transmissions? In the 1970s,I had a 20 series Chevy 350 cu in, 4 speed with 3.42 axle gears. and an 18 ft. trailer. It was inspected and okayed by DOT to haul gross 20,000 lbs. (That includes truck, trailer and load) And yes I have grossed 20,000 lbs. many times and indeed hauled some of those loads through mountain country. Standard transmissions have a low gear for starting loads. They also have gears in between low and high for use in hill country. And that applies to uphill and downhill. As I see it, there are two kinds of trucking advice; those who want to haul a load and drive it like a car and those who haul a load and drive it like a truck. If you've never had a standard transmission, don't try to give the latter.
