Adding a bit to Steve's advice. When in any lower gear the transmission will shift up at around 2100RPM, use stab breaking to keep it below the shift point (until you're ready to shift up of course). Monitoring RPM as well as speed will allow you to use the Jake to its best advantage and keep you from shifting up before you are ready to. Slowing to about 1500RPM will cause a shift to the next lower gear.

Mike & Cindy, while never a professional driver of any sort, in our 7 yrs with our bus, this past summer we elected to take US30 West from York , PA towards the PA Turnpike, being forwarned about the grades. In Arkansas & Colorado we've gained confidence, but US30 was a good challenge. Result, slow but steady and now feel much more confident that we can go about anywhere we want. Take it easy and you will do well. US 30 was not 4 lane either.
