The sweet spot to downshift on the one I drove was around 1250-1300 rpms, kept it right in the power band. It was a company truck, started driving...

Not sure about the 18 speed part but my uncle worked as a mechanic for tri-valley waste, which was bought out by waste management, then worked for...
