One thing I have to say is that it is good to challenge yourself and the truck to see what it can do in as controlled an environment as possible. This way you will have better tools at your disposal in case of an emergency. Just dont push it constantly, keep well within the limits especially in curves so you have 'reserve capacity'. You'll slowly learn to feel the truck and how the load feels, until then you'll break out in sweat a few times. Every load will be different, secure cargo very well and mind you center of gravity.
Your comparing the 285 loop in Atlanta GA to NYC ... :?:
