David Hunn... Great advice for newcomers Tones. Can you tell us the make of truck, engine size, horsepower, transmission and the speed you slowed to when coming over the crest please.

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Yeah sure mate I was driving a Volvo 540hp with a standard 12 speed automatic. I slow to about 30 km/h and was in 7th gear from memory 🤙🏼 Was generally cruising between 35-40km/h

[@gsd4me00]

Thanks for the prompt reply, Tones.
