Downgrades without jake/engine brakes

You welcome but remember all mountains are differents ones you know it you will exactly know how too handle it as of my experience the only mountain that freaked me out was bozzman ehh not soo nice of a ride but where i really sh*** on my self was on rt 299 in cali i will never go that way does mountains are serious and the road is very winding

 

Can you read my mind? Can you tell me what I would say to your boss?

 

Ooh yeah well i could say i went down threw all of them the other day was coming down on i68 an ups was smoking like bbq at the end he stoped i stoped too and was chking with him guy was scared

 

Yeah i know that feeling i had the same feeling for a while but yeah that guy is crazy no matter what he say u need jake brake soo u can go down safe

 

Lot's of trucks out here today? Their engine brakes are as useless as teats on a boar hog, anyway

You can be dropped out of an airplane and if you go slow enough, you won't have to touch your brakes. Lots of super-truckers and paper towel haulers will cuss you as they blow by you, but don't worry about it. You'll get down safely and won't make ceramic disks out of your brake linings.

Occasional light braking every 30-45 seconds or so to keep speed in check is okay but if you feel like your having to apply more pedal travel (application pressure), for less slowing energy as you progress, you done screwed up

Grades are all different and many have varying degrees of descent as you proceed so these will be dealt with by experienced drivers accordingly but realize that some may have super tweaked out engine brakes combined with high horse power to rely on or may not be real heavy, so do don't follow their lead if you're new to the grade.
