If you have to go that slow you're almost certainly overloaded.
True, don't have a weight for that trip, but it was close if not already overloaded.
The most memorable and miserable part was on I-64 in WV on Sandstone Mountain headed home.
"It has some extremely rugged terrain, with one segment boasting a 7% grade downhill eastbound for seven miles (11 km) at Sandstone Mountain"
