I worked for a farmer/ contractor and we mixed our own cement. We hauled sand off a island, then up a long steep grade, probably 3/4 mile climb. The road was gravel, and we always were told to load a real load, as we usualy hauled random evenings to avoid troubles with the law.
We started at the bottom in low, and the two speed in low, and for about fourty feet in one spot we had to slip the clutch a few times to keep from staling the motor.
The truck was new, and the boss was always ticked off that the carrier bearings were always giving out, and the pto universals were of poor quality. Even with extra leaf springs added they broke often as well, tire were blowing often, and so on. GMC got alot of undeserved blame.
I'm not so sure we couldn't have hauled more sand in less time if we would have loaded less each time, but the boss is always the boss.
