Low power trucks

I recently went from a peterbilt w/a cummins engine to a new freighliner w detroit diesel. My problem is when pulling a heavy load up a hill, I frequently have to drop it down to 6th gear going 21mph. My company says this is normal for this truck but I find that hard to believe. I'm finding this very dangerous, especially for the vehicles behind me. My speed seems to be way out of sync with other semi's. Someone was saying that when regen kicks in it robs power but I haven't noticed the regen going on when climbing hills. I will be looking though. Any advice about this issue. Thanks Bob
