    40 from the MD line to Uniontown is a pretty tough ride if you’re loaded heavy. I remember my first ride through there, at night with a set of heavy pups, gutless truck, and no engine brake. The Turnpike was shut down at Laurel mountain and I had bulk hazmat on board.
     
    Mike2633 Thanks this.

    Pups do pull harder, so that much certainly isn’t your imagination.

    Easy to do in a Mack too, and a Pete if it mounts underneath the bulkhead.

    Not so easy in a 579 though. :confused:
