Should I take interstate 14 going east it should I go up to highway 90 to avoid the steep hills? Loaded at 78000lb. Thank you

There’s no way to answer that. I-14 is a 25 mile long stretch of highway in Central Texas.

10% grade for 13 miles climbing up to the top of the mountain, then dropping down into the valley before Sheridan was 9% for 12 miles IIRC. -

I think the more dangerous road is in Colorado.
Think ice road truckers. I don't remember what country they were in. But that road in Colorado has some hairy stretches. Wouldn't want to take a 53 on it.Bud A. Thanks this. -
I take all roads at appropriate speed most don’t . However if they are a bit scared because they don’t have guardrail’s and slow down isn’t that better for everyone? I run a lot of the Canadian Rockies and find that way too many truckers cut the corners and force oncoming to the shoulder so they can speed.. but if road looks scary they run slower. I may be wrong but that’s my observation.
kemosabi49, Bud A. and Oxbow Thank this.
