wondering what’s the slowest speed you get down to or what you think is acceptable on long/steep inclines on the motorway with a heavy load, a few I can think of around here are M77 leaving Glasgow, M8 East past EurocentraL, M90 North about a mile after the bridge, A9 a couple of miles before Broxden
What you think acceptable and what you can manage are two entirely different things. I’m down to 30MPH on the A66 and M62 running full weight.

East Ilsley hill near Didcot 30mph with a 30t box on
Below 30 I’d be thinking about sticking the hazards on if its busy. Not much you can do really.
Some of the heavy cranes or plant stuff is really blowing out their arse up windy hill.
22mph coming out of Chepstow with 26t up to the hill to M5 split in a 430 Merc!
There’s a stretch on the A35 I think it is? With roadworks on it for the past year, down to 12mph fully loaded with cages in a 10m trailer.
