Would you pull an empty across I80 in Wyoming

I’ve done empty i80.
It’s fun to pull into the far left lane. The climb out of Laramie towards Cheyenne. Doing 65 to 70. Blowing away all the loaded Supertruckers.

 

I just did this for the first and last time today

 

Nope...id refuse.

 

Thats one reason I do not get into too much story telling about that Trolley (Same as the JBar etc) It is VERY useful in so many ways such as the example you put up. My favorite use of it is on ice downgrade, impose 4 pounds application and stretch the unit against the 5th wheel. She likes it. For lack of a better term. But you had to pay attention. (That and a strip of shiny paint stripe spray painted on outside tires both sides of trailer.)

In my first winter into WVa with a curtainside trailer on European 13 inch wheels back there step deck, We just allowed the snow to pile DEEP around the trailer tandems and just added horses to drag it. That way no matter how the winds whipped out the valley and rivers against us on the side the pile of snow around the tandems back there kept us down. It got easier once we gained weight from icing. A few thousand pounds of that does wonders.

 

I've done it twice. Once I had to park it due to wind. Fortunately it was only a 5 hour delay. The other time I passed through without problem.

Travelling west from Dallas I prefer to use I40 and then travel north. If I am travelling from Indianapolis I don't have much choice.

 

Sure Wyoming gets some serious wind, so do a lot of other states, or regions. Maybe not as constant as Wyoming, but just as bad. If you drive them, what’s the problem with Wyoming?

 

With all the traveling I've done Wyoming is the only 1 which I've seen multiple occasions with lines of trucks blown over in the median. Other states get wind, but a calm day in Wyoming is a windy day in most other states.

 

We need sign petition to Government to order Elon Musk to dig tunnel thru Wyoming. California and Chico can wait.

 

Any company that's wants you to pull an empty from Washington to Denver definitely does not give a #### about you

 

I thought the moon looks a lot like the desert north of Las Vegas.
