    I agree. I was gonna leave it at that but it says my msg has to be at least 10 characters. Well, that oughta be sufficient. I was trying to be short and concise , but I guess that's JUST NOT ACCEPTIBLE !!!! What, does every one of my answers have to be long? In this economy should we really be wasting these characters? What about all the people who don't have any characters to type? OK. Does that look like at least 10 characters??

    Haul a heavy load between Richmond, VA and Beckly, WV and then tell me that. It gets pretty steep on I-64.
    Of course , if you have an engine brake and a brain , it shouldn't matter how long or steep a hill is.

    When I first saw the title of this thread , I thought he meant up hill. And , I thought, well I usually have to slow down for the curves going eastbound.
    On the otherhand , if he had said westbound, ( up hill ), I woulda said 17th all the way up at about 52 mph when my gross weight is 80, 000.... but he didn't ask, so , never mind.
