Hey truckers need some advice, so my gross weight is 74420 lbs. On Monday morning I need to choose either Wyoming or Colorado to get to Utah, I’m delivering to Southern California on Christmas Eve for my home time. Weather says winds gusts will peak around 45~ mph, would you guys drive in that wind speed or go through I70? I absolutely hate going through Colorado on the I70 but should I just suck it up and take that route? I would usually just shutdown if winds get too bad but I can’t afford to miss this delivery since Christmas is around the corner.
I80 vs I70 west

Man speaking of breakdowns, this is off topic but I had a #### breakdown a mile away from my delivery at a truck stop where I shutdown during a blizzard in Mankato Minnesota. Massive air leak in the brake chamber if that hadn’t of happened, I could’ve been home on the 23rd instead of the 24th
