2 Lane Roads With No Shoulder

I am having trouble with some of these curvy roads. speed limit is 55 but I feel I should go 35.

Well, you definitely never want to go faster than you feel you can go safely. There's no requirement to go the speed limit.

Go whatever speed you feel SAFE and comfortable with. Forget about the impatient 4 wheelers that will inevitably line up behind you. Won't do you any good if you slip off the road and into the culverts on the side. Or worse yet roll because the culvert is a full on deep ditch. I am sure the 4wheelers rather get wherever they are going a little late, then have the road shut down because you wrecked your tractor-trailer.

Drive Safe and God Speed

Just be safe. I'm in Ohio and idiot 4-wheelers we're squeezing between me and the horse buggy on their side. Sorry, but if I got nowhere to go I'm maintaining my lane. If they go in the ditch or hit the Amish family it's on them.

Brandon, yes, drive at 10 mph if that's what makes you comfortable. You may pull off the road of you see a well-used pull out area and let the 4 wheelers get by.

As for steering, try to keep your front axle toward the outside of any turn. Way back in back, your tandems will be cutting towards the inside edge of the curve.

Heck put your flashers on. They won't know if you are having mechanical issues. They don't known if you are heavy or empty. I pull right a bit to let them pass. Screw em. You are bigger and know better than them.

I drove up a 7% grade in 6th gear and through WY in 6th during snow storm. Saw FIVE accidents along the way...one truck blew past me and jack knifed. Guess what.... I still have a job. I bet he doesn't.

As others have said, take your time and drive to what you feel safe. A phrase I like to repeat is "there is no job so important that it can't be done safely"

Thanks you all

This is one of those threads of confidence. I know when i get out there people will have my back. What great people we have here. I can do this!
