When you leave there heading west into Bakersfield you are going to encounter a very steep downgrade.
I don't know how familiar you are with going down mountains, I see you are from Florida, but start down at about 40 mph and use your lower gears. Don't ride the brakes. I mash mine on hard 5 seconds and then let it cool a bit as my speed moves up and then do it again.
Don't worry about blocking traffic, it's 4 lanes and they will go around you.
You will encounter steep mountains again at the Oregon border. The Siskiyous. Again pretty steep downgrades. Just go slow and you'll be fine.
