Which way am I going?

Southbound on I-15 going down into the Virgin River canyon/gorge.

 

Tough call...

I want to say uphill due to the tankers hitting the hammer lane to pass the dry van. Which could be heavier.

BUT... if the tanks are loaded, they're heavier. So you would be going downhill. And they probably run this stretch every day and are a bit more sure of themselves and the road, than the driver of the dry van.

My money is on...downhill.

 

Speaking of which, you ever get the feeling you are going down hill by the terrain, but your RPM's are dropping telling you otherwise???

 

That always freaks me out. Or when it looks like a long straight stretch but you just can't pick up any speed at all.

 

Man i am glad I stumbled across this topic. I dont get to drive truck very often but i do any chance i can get. So a couple of months ago when my uncle was hauling some logging equipment from north carolina up to michigan, I wanted to go with him so i could see what it's like driving through the mountains. There was a few times where i couldn't tell if we were goin up or down. It freaked me out a little. I thought something was wrong with me.

 

You are going that way in your truck. it was a plain as the wart on Abe lincolns nose.... ho that wasn't a wart?....Well never mind
