There are only two of what I would call steep grades from Bishop to Reno. The first is Sherwin Grade out of Bishop about 6 miles of 7%. It is a four lane divided road, there are a couple of big pullouts if you want to let the truck cool. The second is also four lanes and mostly divided, it is just north of Mono Lake, Conway Summit is not too bad in my opinion. They realigned the road 20-25 years ago and is longer but not as steep.
Walker Canyon a little further North is windy and a lot of it is two lane. Other than that not much to slow you down.
From Hwy 203(Mammoth Lakes turnoff) to Reno is about 120 miles and take 2 to 3.5 hours in a car.
Lots of interesting places along that stretch.
