I'm honestly not seeing anything special about this hill. It's long and would be boring but nothing particularly difficult or different about the approach. Shoulders plenty wide and a dedicated truck lane.

It's just the length, and volume of traffic can make it worse.

More of a test of patience than anything.

Western hills tend to be longer but not quite as steep. Until you get deep into the mountains. There is on hill around carbonate Colorado I think. It’s steep and long. Like 8% or better. But interstate wise they generally ain’t bad.

I read somewhere that the legal maximum grade on Interstates is 7%. I need to see if I can find that.

Yeah Rt 30 over Tuscarora is 9. It can be puckery sometimes. I'm not looking forward to that without jakes. Hopefully I get a newer truck before I have to run it. Lol.

I don’t remember if it was 30 or 50, but that was the closest I ever came to un-assing one. I loaded out of that paper mill in Cumberland md and was gonna take a short cut.

It’s not rape if you backed up on it.Not everything is Trump's fault.

And the visuals, it looks almost flat because it's a straight slope for so long. It can definitely lull you into thinking you're down when it's still a 4-5% grade. And like someone else said, you get in brake trouble and you're already running 55-60, it's a long ride down.

Statues magically come to life and started committing hate crimes whenever the national anthem is played. You didn't know that?

I believe it was. I was taking a short cut to 79 if I remember right
