Interesting video, i just found in news ; this guy has great skills reflexes and luck / many drivers underestimate the danger of the winds over 45-50 mph against 12 ft high and 53 ft long trailers/; in Wyoming I was pulled over on I/80/25 by DOT, when winds were over 45,mph and higher gusts. But last week north of Laredo, Tx on I-35, I got into a bad storm and tornado warning popped on my phone; I pulled over, but most of the drivers kept rolling into a low dark greenish cloud/; This time of the year is most dangerous and many drivers are ignoring the high wind and severe Storms warnings; many don't know the wind gusts over 50 mph can roll over a truck and trailer, and we are the most vulnerable out there on the roads in this kind of weather. I've read about California Dot rules, if a truck gets rolled over in high winds, the driver can be charged for driving in unsafe weather condition.

Yes, I did see this video. Totally amazing. Sadly, I think the chassis on both truck and trailer have been tweaked so bad there must have been damage. I highly doubt this truck drives straight and smooth anymore!
