Transmission temps

Attacked a "Major" hill Yesterday (Goat path with blacktop).
Truck pulled that car hauler up no problem.
Boost was good, EGT's stayed below 1100 and tranny wasn't bad.
Backing it into the driveway is another story.
The tranny temp hit 140* the long way around.
Why is it I can pull 20,000 GCVW up a grade (that kills my gasser without a load) but backing up with the slightest resistance cooks the tranny?
What is the max safe tranny temp for an extended pull?
Can anyone recommend a good tranny shop in Atlanta?
Or should I just run down to Suncoast?

Let's hear it.

Thanks!
