I love WY. Hate the wind.

So do a lot of other folks. The wind helps to keep the population low.

But after 14 yrs of living here I'm a little more used to it and have learned how to deal with it.

Drivers let Dollar $igns take over and do not think safety. No load is worth a life. When the wind gets that strong, you need to be parked. Simple as that. No Excuse

I came through there last night pulling a 53' drybox with 15,000 pounds in it...It was pretty windy.

But as always I seemed to make it through.

We are usually loaded to the gills (that would be 40,000 lb in the reefer) so never a problem. Vans....yep they need to adhere to that high wind sign and park it.

Partner came through last night and maybe it's her speed because she never thinks it's windy. Of course Colorado blows and Utah sucks what can you expect.

Thanks for the post. This is a reminder that I need to change my route. I've got 8,000 lbs headed to WA from TX.
