Blown off road

Oh wow, luckily you weren’t hurt ???

Get the wind compass app, it’s really good, any wind gust over 35 can blow over an empty depending on the angle it hits you.

I’ve shut it down several times for wind, argued with a few dispatchers too. I didn’t care, it’s my butt not theirs if something happens.

Where did this happen ???

Were you ticketed ???

 

I got blown off the road last month right at about 6 months of driving as well, which was also ruled a preventable. Fortunately, did not jackknife and kept it upright in the grass, but did have to get winched out of the mud. I was hit with a gust of wind seemingly out of nowhere on a 2-lane road with little shoulder. The company was pretty good about it, and I wasn't fired. What was most annoying was that the safety guy I had to talk to didn't really believe it was wind. He didn't come out and say it directly, but he kept talking to me about the dangers of micro sleeps. I know what I felt and am absolutely certain it was not a micro sleep. I almost wished they had a driver facing camera to prove it.

 

Uniden has a small dual lens camera for about 50 USD.
Plus 12 USD for the SD card. Buy a fast Sandisk.
Install it. All video captured belongs to you, not the company.
You use them when needed. They loop for about 3h30mins then record over.
You can thank me later.

 

Provide a link and I’ll thank you now.

 

Guess it’s this one, not bad for the money

 

He might be referring to another model but this is what I found. Also sold at Walmart.

And of course various other places but hey, between Amazon and Walmart, it can be got!

I've done my helpful bit for the day, back to tacos, and jokes.

Ah, yours is different model # so looks like you found a better one for same money.

Nice.

Wind compass app for IPhone. Here’s a screenshot of mine.

Free app.

Incredibly accurate.
