Have a little read of my post above this one, and you may find out where I am coming from. And with regards to the changing down through the gears, when you have 38 tons behind you, and no brakes, you then know why you were taught to change down through the gears. Two speed axle and all the others. Food for thought eh.

No brakes? Poor driving and/or poor maintenance. With the appropriate speed and gear into a hazard, brake failure should rarely happen, unlike the days of hydraulic, vacuum and drum systems.
