New Pyro after turbo, what kind of temps hauling hay

Friday after work I will be installing my new Westach Combo gauge and I am installing it after the turbo. Saturday morning I am heading over to Central oregon to get a load of hay. I will probably have somewhere between 18,000 and 21,000 lbs gross on the way home, what kind of temps should I watch for. My truck is stock and I am thinking I should just keep it under about 950. Does that sound like a safe temperature?

Thanks,

Joe
