No I don't go through Yorkton from Brandon, I like Hwy 1 and 11 double lane for all except about 20kms. I really hate getting stuck behind slow people.

Uphills aren't usually too bad except when pulling the trackhoe. With this load In the Qu'Appelle valley I just have to go from 8th high to 8th low or else 13th gear to 12th gear usually still doing 85kmph at top of hill.
