    I’m in Salt Lake City right now and the winds coming off the mountains are still blowing hard.
    UDOT: ‘Hurricane Force’ winds topple 3-dozen semi trucks in 20 minutes
    Mind you, I was coming down I-80 and just went through the winter storm.I had topped off all of my tanks(tractor,reefer and DEF) in Evanston,Wyoming,I had 39,300 pounds of payload in the reefer and the wind was still slamming the truck every which way but loose!

    It is a whole lot cheaper to just sit and wait a day instead of digging your truck and trailer out of a ditch.

    I was experiencing high winds in eastern Idaho on 84 coming in to Utah last night. Sure glad I was hauling paper rolls.

    Then UDOT shut down I-15 from mm 313 - 365. Stopped at Flying J after going through the weigh station.

    When I departed Flying J, I noticed snow had fallen from the roof of a trailer and onto the lot.

    Goodbye, summer. We hardly knew ye.

    Are we sure they weren't just laying down for their 10s?


    Asking for a friend.
