I'm not trying to be Mr. Snitch, but it can't be wise to video yourself going down a hill with a coffee in left hand and doing all sorts of stuff with your right - especially when viewers can see the company name in the mirrors...

If that driver was loaded, they in a heap o' trouble. Speed on the "hill" for 80,000 lbs. gross is 25 mph. I heard they time you once you leave the truck inspection area, and if it takes less time than they allow, you get a ticket. Is that true?

I've done that grade maybe eight or ten times. Never had a problem. I wasn't driving like an idiot, but I sure as hell wasn't goin 25

They set those speed limits 50 years ago. Long before engine brakes and auto slack adjusters. It hasn't occurred to anybody to maybe adjust the speed limit upward some. Only place I know that enforces reduced downhill speed is WB I-40 dropping down into Cookeville, TN
