    Ya know, I’ve been in some rough predicaments trying to get a Drilling Rig on to location in the coal mines. And I’ve been on 20% grades...... with a dozer hooked to me in case a drive line broke!!

    But I’ve never been on a driveway steep as 20%+, 3 miles long with a load of furniture.....

    The highest marked grade @ 10%, and the short ones that are unmarked have to be in the 10+% range on my stretch of 422, but I've never drove a truck on anything steeper than the hill to the old Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, whatever it is.

    ..........I wish I was smart enough to say something well enough........ that it might actually be comforting and helpful......... But I'm not, so I'm sorry man. Truly blows.

    Well, quality made furniture that’s actually made of real wood and not beaver barf does tend to weigh a bit.... :biggrin_25520:
