    know when to say when.....Jesus, winds in Bozeman hit 69, Livingston hit 66 and Malta recorded 72. This is not rocket science.

    More like gotta make that payment! That's most likely a lease op truck there. It's very rare for a company driver to be in the blue trux.

    blue truck o/o, but hey ya gotta know when to hold em and know when to fold em. I called in once said I'm down for wind and my DM said are ya sure. I laughed and told him you come drive it on thru and he just chuckled and said nope you do what is safe. no service failure no problems and the customer was even surprised I got there when I did. No need to take chances .

    I came up I 15 yesterday going home. The wind was blowing hard but, not bad enough for me to stop. The only wreck was a suv pulling a small trl. upside down in the ditch. Maybe it was blowing harder later in the day.
