Lots of variations depending on the engine type. The GE (no EPR guage) has a max of 40% N1 to prevent blowing things away. The GE doesn't have a huge amount of residual thrust on the ground so you need a squirt of power occaisionally. The PW has lots of residual and controlling the speed at even quite high TOWs means using and warming up the brakes.
