Hi Croc
With your experience as a transport driver it will be a pleasant Sunday drive, Not a lot of traffic but there is traffic, you will meet some big ones carting stock down to various meat works.
I have been up and down it a number of times, coming down the range was the only part I remember that I needed some caution.
Enjoy.

Full country highway construction along the length. Gradients of up to 8% so your rig should cope ok. As a truck driver you wil know how to descend hills.
Here are some videos of the Gibralter range and nearby sections.
