Hi I'm looking for an explanation on what is the ideal speed while travelling downhill with a loaded trailer. (53 feet) The routes would I-71 N, CARROLTON, KY (between CARROLTON county and PRESTONVILLE ENGLISH Exit 43. I have a few guys going at 80 mph, the posted speed is 70 mph ( I believe it's lower for trucks). I'm just looking for a proper explanation to give to my drivers who are not ready to accept that they need slow down before hitting the downhill. Please advice. Thank you
