Wow, no worse feeling in the world then to lose complete control and know that there isn't a darn thing you can do about it.

That is so true....and its not a good feeling to feel your trailer moving and you look in the side mirror and see it leaning.....happened to me but when I finally got all tires back onto the road....I pulled over as I thought I had just s*** my jeans......its a very scary event....

I trucked down I 80 thru WY yesterday. It was one of those High wind days. I am SO glad I had a load and was NOT empty. I saw a lot of wrecked rigs,, It rips me up to see semi accidents. Wind Ice was a big problem there

That was leaving the Fly J near Elk Mountian. Going up the ramp to I-80 I had cramps in my legs and arms when I got to Denver Yesterday after noon.
